So I think I have figured out a gentle scale that shouldn't get Larry into any dangerously low numbers but gives you a guide to shooting when you can't get advice. I am not thinking we are working toward great lower numbers and remission with this scale. It's just until you can get some better insulin.
How about
380+ 2.25 (can you measure this using the ideas I gave you? If not, I'd try 2.5 at this range when you are definitely going to monitor and make sure he stays in safe numbers)
280-380 2 units
250- 280 1.5
200-250 1 unit
Under 200 Wait 20 minutes, retest to make sure he is rising and over 200. If he just rises a little bit. maybe a token dose of .5
These numbers assume you will be around to monitor. If not, I would be more conservative. And always plan to get an early test in case he decides to drop right away, like N can do sometimes.
Also, if his numbers start to drop from these past weeks, we'd revise the scale downward.
Comments/suggestions from others?
(i put mr. green on the subj line so i cd find this post easier) ;-)
