amps 248 on my relion meter until the freestyle strips come in today I was still quite blown away from the meter diff last night when I did a +3 with both meters when I got home from walmart I agree with advice here comparing meters bad idea but i thought they would be close anyway. He is not feeling as good again this morning had another night of not sleeping with me this makes 2 nights in row so I am very down I was feeling good about him our numbers were not good but at least he was showing signs of being happy and then BAM 2 nights of no sleeping with me Mom is sad :sad: :sad: confused_cat

+3 379
+6 290
+8 121 wow that is a drop for him ???

Re: 3/24 Do Lou AMPS 248 + 3 379 +6 290 +8 121

+8 121 which is like wow where did that come from he usually starts to climb after the 6

Talked to my vet and no dose increase this week so that is good since I thought for sure I would have to battle him on that one since I did not feel like we were ready to increase yet even though Do's numbers are certainly all over the place confused_cat I keep hoping things will settle in to place soon

Don't let a blue number scare you -- this is exactly what you want. Going to look at spreadsheet -- am trying to remember if you are the one that started fresh insulin.

OK, I remember you were going up by 0.5u increments. PMPS means you shot -- did you shoot? What + number are you at?

No I did not shoot yet I was waiting to see what anyone said I am supposed to give 3U yes?? for I am having to leave for a hour DH is here on watch then I will be bk

Hi Lisa.....you shot a 188 a couple of days ago. 172 is not too much different. Are you going to be home to monitor?

What is your testing availability through the night? Can you do a sleep test at some point.

If I saw that Do Lou's dose was raised by 0.25u increments I wouldn't hesitate to say shoot. 0.25u raises makes it easy to see that you didn't miss his dose. You have a few inverted curves and a recent food change that we should consider.

You could always expel a drop out and shoot a skinny 3u or if you feel like it shoot the regular but monitor closely.
What are your thoughts?

ETA: Miriam has a good point that you shot the 188, basically the same number.
I'm just seeing other indicators that tell me to look closely.
