DH means darling husband, right? mine came in with coffee at 6:55am and whispered "I've tested the cat" - "would you like me to feed him and give him his shot so you can stay in bed?"

That was so sweet of him to test and bring you It's so nice when there is another person in the family to take some of the load off your shoulders. I think he gets some nice {{{{{HUGS}}}}} this morning.

Here's hoping he'll test and shoot for you more often. ;-)

So should we try going up to 1.25 units tomorrow? I feel like I'm struggling enough to get exactly 1 unit in the syringe as it is! But 1.25? Definitely need to get some coffee in me before I attempt that tomorrow.

Yes, I think Chinookie is due for an increase to 1.25Units. This 1U dose just isn't doing enough for him.

But now he's down to 155! Omg that's good right? But, ugh, Sunday is a preaching day, and getting up in the middle of the night to track this is not what I had in mind! But this is the lowest he's ever been!

Go, Chinookie! We use a magnifying lamp and an optivisor (a headband with magnifier) and we use digital calipers from Harbor Freight to measure the dose. We think we can measure to 1/12 of a unit. I think you might want to hold this dose for 7 days since this is his initial Lantus dose.

Yes!! That's good!! You should probably get another test in an hour or 90 mins and see where he's going...hopefully he'll surf through the night

Did you increase to the 1.25 tonight or not? Your spreadsheet says no, but I just wanted to make sure!

It might also help to add when you feed Chinookie in the "Remarks" part of your SS (and what you're feeding...wet, LC? Dry? the YA zero carb dry?) All that information only helps to figure out how he's responding.
