OK my cats's BG's have been in the 400's for months & we;ve slowly worked up to 7 units.. I did 7 units starting Fri night & today I started noticing a bIIIG drop!! Whoo hoo!! Now I don't know if I should give him 7 units for tonight- cuz that made his sugar go down 150 points- could I be at risk for hypo? Should I give him 4 or 5 units tonite until I can talk to dr tomorrow?
DOSING HELP!! AMPS 345 PMPS 197- on 7 units of lantus

You might also want to post or cross-post on the Lantus forum. I don't know Lantus, but hopefully you'll get it figured out!

It looks like you had a break through dose. Scanning back through your spreadsheet though ...I saw a note for ACROMEGALY. Have you had the test done?
You keep awesome notes I am sure your vet appreciates your diligence in that regard!
As far as dose, due to numerous the complications, I do not feel experienced enough to offer you dosing advice in this situation. Although I know Lantus does like consistency. You may see a rise in BG's today from the 1.0u you administered last night. That was a large change in dose from 7.0u.
I would encourage you visit the Lantus Insulin Support Group. They have folks there who are very experienced with more complicated situations.
We also have the Acro/IAA/Cushings Support Group you may want to visit. Again, a very savvy group of experienced care givers are there. And they can advise you on how to deal with an and Acro-cat.
