Stating to come down at +3.5. He has a nadir under 150 for the last 5 days in at least one cycle each day. Hoping to get that back to both cycles each day. Seems we bounce every other cycle. Plus weekends are always a change to his normal routines…ie sleeping! lol

Have a great day! Nice rainy one here, good napping weather!

I can relate to the every other or so bounces. Soooo frustrating. Still think we need to ban them, Deb :mad:
 
Any chance you think you could draw a skinny 3.0 or fat 2.75 unit dose? i'd love his nadirs to get a bit lower, without him slamming into reduction territory.

I would love that too! How are those done? Any directions? Hubby does the draws so I need instructions for him and then I can ask if he can do it.
I know, when he gets to about 130 he starts diving and we have to give him some HC to keep above 90 and reduction. It happens so fast! And at that point LC and HC have no effect whatsoever……so a little bit of an increase might work.
Thanks Wendy!
 
I used to use calipers for those in between doses - Neko was incredibly sensitive to small changes in dose. But before calipers were a thing, people used to just eyeball it. Maybe experiment with colored liquid (tea, coffee, juice, pop) on an old syringe. Draw up a 3.0 unit dose and a 2.75 units, and see if you can also draw one that is in between and use that one as a template for hubby. Or practice squeezing out a drop. Again, use those syringes with colored liquids and rotate the plunger a few times to see if you can get a consistent sized dose. Once you have consistent drops, try that on a 3.0 unit fill syringe and see if you can get a drop out that doesn't take you down to 2.75 units.

Thanks! I’ll show him this so he understands. He may even have a set of calipers. I’ll check with him.
