Maybe some day this will be developed for animals. No more blood samples!

That 39 is a very clear message from Ravan that 2.0u was too much insulin. Your new dose is 1.75u. With SlGS, you hold that dose for the next week unless Ravan sends you another message.

No, he’s bouncing, hold your reduced dose. If after the bounce has settled he still hasn’t come down, then you’ll have to go back up. How’s he feeling? I hope you got some sleep last night!

I just posted on yesterday's condo where you tagged me As Sienne said please keep the dose at 1.75.

I was at work and didn't have time to give you a bit more info. With Lantus and Lev, you base the dose on how low that amount of insulin brings your cat's numbers. Yesterday, a dose of 2.0u brought Ravan's numbers to 39. That's a low number and means a dose reduction is warranted. Even thought you're seeing a higher pre-shot number, you don't increase the dose. With other types of insulin, you can adjust the dose based on the pre-shot number and/or you can adjust the dose every cycle. You can't do that with Lantus. If you make overly frequent dose changes, you keep destabilizing the depot and you end up with wonky numbers.

PMPS 269 Been a while since I got a yellow at pre shot. Looks like we're getting somewhere?
