? 6/15 Roxy AMPS: 275, +2: 290, +4: 275,

So I really can't detect any kind of curve at all today, is that normal and is there any point in continuing if it's not really going down - or up? Maybe her insulin just too low currently to see much of an affect?

Yes, she is flat and high because she's not getting any insulin. My suggestion would be to get the 30 unit syringes available locally (without the half unit markings) and try to eyeball the 1.25U.

@Wendy&Neko Do you think she can increase by 0.5U to 1.5U considering her nadir are largely between 250 and 300? Easier to eyeball!

Thanks Bhooma. Pretty scary! I can't believe no one here does the half unit marked syringes! I would love to know what everyone else does!
 
I checked my order from the UK place and it has been shipped, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long now.

No, a 1 unit jump is way too much. If you want to go to 0.75 units, there are a couple ways to do that. First, there is a paper ruler if you are using the BD Ultrafine. Second, load a syringe with coloured liquid. Slowly twist the plunger to squeeze out a drop. Practice getting even size drops. Then count the number of drops in 1.0 units. Load your syringe with one unit, and express 1/4 of them to get 0.75 units. I've also seen some people do that just once, then take a photo with their phone so they can compare with that next time.
