Since we switched to Levemir, +4 seems to be a good indicator of where the cycle is going. If the +4 is the same or lower than the AM/PMPS, there's a good chance he'll have a green nadir. A pack of 50 test strips used to last 6-7 days, and it now lasts 3-5 days, so I'm looking forward to reaching the point where I know his patterns well enough to know when I need to test and how long I can wait between checks. I'm getting there.
I'm still amazed that he's gone below 205 on EVERY SINGLE CYCLE since switching to Levemir, and most nadirs are blue or green, no matter where he starts. And every cycle has a nadir! There were days when I'd give Lantus and his BG would just go up.
