2/19 Tasha's AMPS PMPS 242+3=62 +10=177

[Linda and Tasha]

yesterday's condo

Not sure about the morning shot again. The cuff on the syringe was bent making it hard to tell if I got 0+. After the shot when I pushed the syringe to 0 empty it looked like 0+ not 0.

Re: 2/19 Tasha's AMPS 173 (doubtful about shot)

Hi Linda

here is a pic of the 0.1 (fat zero) not sure if u have been practicing measuring, but it may help, grab a few used syringes, get some juice, like fruit juice, wine or milk works too, and practice...it takes a little getting use to, but the more u practice it, the easier it gets.

when u fill the syringe, push the excess out but near the end, try slowly twisting the plunger left, right to get the rest out - with your sample syringe push out what u think is a drop till u get it going consistently enough

+3 =97 and she ate very little. Think she got nothing in this mornings shot.

Re: 2/19 Tasha's AMPS 173 (doubtful about shot)+3=97 +6=140

Even though Tasha ate before her BG, I think we go a no shot this morning judging on how the numbers are.

Re: 2/19 Tasha's AMPS 173 +3=97 +6=140 +10=188

+10=188 seriously doubt that she got any insulin today. I am wondering if maybe I should g back to .1 but maybe a scant .1 from the fat 0.?

From the difficulty you've been describing with measuring, I might really help if you practiced the way Ronnie suggested. Micro-dosing is challenging. I had to practice with 0.25 units as well as with fat and skinny dosing. Since much of Lantus dosing/shed is based on consistency, practicing measuring your dose sounds rather practical.

Looks like I was right and this morning's shot was no good. I gave (PM shot) somewhere between a 0+ and a .1 (sort of a 0++) A littler "fatter 0" and I will see how that works. I felt her numbers were a bit too high before this anyway.

the micro doses are tough. I used really strong reading glasses and practiced getting the amount of space between the plunger and the line the same each time. Some people measure the small doses by measuring an easy dose (like 0.5) and then squeezing the insulin out of the syringe one drop at a time until they get the amount they want. Consistency is important, because even a tiny difference in the amount of liquid is a big percent of change when you're talking about such a small volume.

Good luck with the new dose, I hope that does the trick.

+3=62
Hope this is not too much.

that's a substantial drop. i think i'd get a +4...

 

[Linda and Tasha]

+10= 177. Wanted to get the +4 but fell asleep . I did leave a lot of food out. Looks like she didn't eat much. 177 possible rebound I guess...or not.
