AMPS = 272

Shot 30 minutes early today. In progress of moving shot time from 8 to 6:20.
Increase to 8 units tomorrow morning if no low blues or greens today or tonight. It will have been 6 cycles since fur shot and 10 cycles since last green.

Gizmo - dosecrease threat is on.the.table. Work da juice.

Good start today

Depot is back in full effect, let's hope for some blues today...

 

[Glennie]

Moving the shot time--always makes me think more than I would like. Hope you see some blues or greens. May the mere mention of an increase do the trick!

I know. I can't wrap my brain around + whatever being different times. Lol

Dose threats have worked well in the past ... but ...

+2 = 363.

 

[Bronx's dad (GA)]

uggh, I hate those 350+ pinks

 

[Alicia & Maggie (GA)]

Come on Gizmo, get with the program, bud!

 

[Chubba (GA)]

PMPS = 335

I'm not expecting any greens tonight, so increase in the morning.
Did ya hear that Gizmo ... you could always prove me wrong!

 

[LizzieInTexas]

Comeon Gizmo.

Wait until you have to adjust for a time change. OMG talk about confusing and totally screwed up schedules.

I don't even want to think about that. Yikes. I hate time change to begin with.

I am just thinking I will probably be starting a new insulin vial tomorrow. Is it ok to increase when starting the new vial? The one I am finishing is 3 months old today (but traveled home in the camper fridge last week - only 10 minutes). We had a string of blues and greens, so I am pretty sure the insulin is still working.

Also, if there isn't a full dose in the old vial ... I'm assuming I have to throw it out. I wouldn't think I would want to stick the syringe in both vials? I just hate to waste even a drop!

ETA - fixed a typo

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I wouldn't change a vial that you suspect, and the dose on the same cycle. Having said that, his numbers aren't hugely different from before he went camping so you are probably OK doing both.

Every time you poke the syringe, you make it less sharp.

Asking for my own clarification... would you give two shots then? Part from old and the rest from the new?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I wouldn't spilt the dose like that, unless you have a high dose cat. I think if you are throwing away less than 8 units out of a vial, you had gotten pretty good use out of it!

I was thinking about that also. Not sure Gizmo would be happy with that though, but 2 syringes equaling the total dose?

 

[Bronx's dad (GA)]

I do poke same syringe into old pen and new pen to get every drop. I know, I know... it is frowned upon, but Bronx doesn't seem to mind one bit.

 

[LizzieInTexas]

I know, I know... it is frowned upon

Oh the bad things I did before I learned I shouldn't be doing them lol. Gizmo survived. So did the insulin. So did I.

+2.75 = 302; retested = 386

Last few tests have had very little blood, so I retested to make sure accurate reading
These numbers are so frustrating lately. I've given up for tonight. I don't expect anything stellar overnight, so I'm sleeping. Increase in the morning.
