Dosing advice needed.

[Mariaana and Milo]

Our Vet increased Lantus dose from 2 Units to 3 Units yesterday. (May 6th) At AMPS i decreased Insulin to 2.5 Units, as i felt very uneasy giving another whole Unit. BSL was going down nicely in the day...but at PMPS
Milos BGL was 5.5mmol/L i stalled for 30 min and retested @ 5.4.mmol/L Decided to not give any Insulin. *** The Vet has always stressed to not give any Insulin if AMPS/PMPS are below 10 mmol/L.***

AMPS This morning (May 7) was + 20,so i shot 2.5 Units.
What am i to do now? Now when we get a 'nice' PMPS number like 5.5 mmol/L i cant
give him his Insulin and then of course his AMPS is always high...
I am unsure how to get of this "merry go round" and need some guidance please.
PS: Milo is due his PMPS dose in 8 hrs. Food: FF Pate and Friskies Pate.
Thank you.

I'll tag a few members for you for advice
We increase by 0.25 units not 1 units glad you didn't give the 3 units like your vet suggested

Lantus is a depot type insulin, so what you give as a dose this cycle, does not all go to work in that cycle.

I think you would be better posting over in the Lantus/Levemir/Basaglar ISG group.

Lots of sticky posts at the top of that forum too, to give you more information on how Lantus works.
