Yesterday’s Thread Link

@Wendy&Neko Shoot. I should have checked for your message first… Vet gave him 1 unit of Humilin R @11:30pm last night. I gave him 1 unit this morning @ 6:30am. Restarted Lantus 5 units @ 10am. Watching curve closely. So far lowest point 325. Keeping SS updated.

Thank you so much for your help!

Look at that yellow PMPS! Looking good George.

When we give R, we want them to drop less than 100 points over the time R is active, which is typically around 4 hours. Any drop larger than that can cause a bounce. Meaning higher numbers and it defeats the purpose of using R. Last night he dropped a lot more than that, so 1 unit was too big a dose of R.

On the spreadsheet, it's better to talk in terms of + hours than the actual clock. With everyone in different times zones with different preshot times, it's just easier that way. So I think (?) last nights R was at +3 and +10? You can modify the spreadsheet cells for those times, to add 1uR to the BG at that time. That way it's easier to see the impact of R on the numbers following the shot. It looks like you did another dose at +6.5 during the AM cycle today? It looks like it did a better job and didn't drop his as much today.

Are you planning on continuing to use R? We suggest that people use it only with guidance from experienced users of it. There are many things to learn about when to use it, and more importantly, when not to use it.
