I have been reading a lot about how to increase or decrease doses but would like some guidance. As you can see from the spreadsheet I was checking before every shot but adjusting the dose based on the result. I have since learned I should not be doing that. For the last 4 days we have stuck with 1.5 units and numbers look pretty good. Just wondering how many more cycles til I increase him and if I should do .25 or .50.

I will be doing a curve tomorrow. Thanks Carol
 
First, Lantus is dosed based upon how low it takes your cat. You don’t have any tests to show that. Can you do a curve tomorrow and test every 2 hours for 12 hours or every 3 hours for 18 hours? most cats nadir, reach the lowest point in the cycle between+4-7 but it can happen earlier or later. After the curve read our dosing methods to decide which one you want to follow. To follow TR, you need two tests every cycle. Since you have only been testing at amps and pmps, you likely will want to follow SLGS.
