Hi all! I'm pretty new here. I'm definitely "relaxed." TR is soooo not for me ;-)
Anyway, I've managed to get my dosing schedule all screwed up and I need to fix it. My Skunky got her "am" shot today at 2 p.m. Yikes.
We started Lantus, 1/2 unit BID, on Saturday at 11:40. I wanted to do it earlier but I overslept and then spent time practicing drawing up dose, squirting it into a banana pepper, etc. ;-)
Then through a sequence of events I got later and later, then lost track of time today.
Ideally, I'd like to do 1030 a.m. and 1030 p.m. I contemplated skipping tonight's dose and starting at as close to 1030 as possible on Tuesday. (tomorrow). I have a meeting that may go long so, it could be later than 1030. Or I could try to back it up more gradually. We're only just starting to "fill the depot."
We are hoping to take a day trip to the mountains Wednesday, hopefully leaving around 9 a.m. But I'm not sure that is going to happen.
Dangit. Working out this 12/12 is harder than I thought. My schedule is crazy. 12 and 12 would actually be ideal except for when I need to go places early, which isn't often but does happen on ocassion.
I could skip tonight's dose, give her her AM shot at 830 Tuesday morning (tomorrow) and then start moving it down until it hits 1030. I'm more of a night owl than an early bird.
Last night's PMPS was 216. Woo Hoo. Today's amps was over 300. Not so woo.
I think we may have to up the dose to 1 unit, starting Sunday. I figured it would be better to get the schedule set before the dosage increase.
Ok, so, I'm flaky and freaking out. Thoughts?
thanks!
