Dosing Advice Needed - Schedule Out of Whack

[Critter Mom]

Hi all,

Saoirse's dose time has been on the late side for the past week or so and I've been trying with limited success to shift it back to a better time.

Things are worse now because I missed her scheduled time tonight - by an hour. (I am really hacked off at myself.)

Saoirse's currently on a dose of 0.5 fat Lantus BID. Blood glucose on this dose ranges between c. 12.5 and 7.2 mmol/L (Alphatrak) quite consistently.

Is it OK to give a Big Chicken 0.25 IU tonight and give the next dose after 10 hours? (I'm at home all the time so I can test as much as needed yesterday.)

Alternatively, would I be better to skip tonight's dose completely. PMPS is 11.2mmol/L (Alphatrak). Saoirse typically runs lower on night time cycles.

I'd be grateful for any input.

Am I just blind tonight? I can't seem to find a current spreadsheet for Saoirse

I'd just skip tonight and get back on schedule tomorrow....it's the safest thing to do

Thanks for replying, Chris,

You're not blind, but I shure am stoopid. I didn't realise I hadn't updated my sig link to connect it to Saoirse's current spreadsheet. Duh! (If I had brains I'd be dangerous.)

Here's her current spreadsheet:

(Apologies in advance - has custom colour ranges and only mmol/L values.)

I wasn't hopeful about getting a reply so I gave her 0.25 units Lantus. Not sure what to do tomorrow.
