I'm sorry I'm late in responding to this....you may actually want to hold off on increasing until AFTER you do the curve this weekend. Right now, you don't know if Wonton's higher pre-shot numbers are because the dosage isn't enough, or if she's bouncing. "Bouncing" into higher numbers occurs when a kitty's BG hits a lower number during the cycle. The kitty's body isn't used to the low numbers, so it goes into self-preservation mode and the liver tosses counter regulatory hormones into the bloodstream, thus raising the BG...the liver is basically confused into thinking the kitty is going hypo. I hope that makes sense...there are others here who do a much better job of explaining a bounce.
In any event, since Lantus dosing is based on the nadir (lowest point in the cycle) rather than on the pre-shots, I would see how Wonton is doing during the entire cycle before adjusting her dose.
Whenever you do have any sort of questions, if you use the little question mark icon and note in your subject line that you're looking for answers, you'll get many more responses. People here are very generous with their time and knowledge, so don't be afraid to ask us anything!
