Hi Ashley! Happy to see you over here from the Facebook group!
With Lantus, it takes 5-7 days before you'll see how well the dose is working (since Aragon hasn't had any insulin for awhile, I'm treating him like he is new to Lantus)
I'd hold the .5 unit dose for at least 5 days (unless he drops below 50 at any time) and then let's see how he's doing.
On your spreadsheet, 1/2 unit would be noted as .5 (but that's no big deal either)
Take some time when you can and read the sticky on our dosing methods....Tight Regulation and Start Low Go Slow.....the method you choose will effect the advice we give you going forward.
TR gives the best chance at remission, but requires a little more frequent testing. Once the "loading time" is over (that 5-7 days) you can adjust the dose as often as every 6 cycles if it's not getting you where you want. Reductions in dose are earned when they drop below 50
On SLGS, you hold each dose for 7 days before increasing and reductions are earned when they drop below 90. Sometimes this can leave kitty in higher numbers than we'd like but we've had some kitties go OTJ on SLGS too
You can always change the dosing method you choose later if you want. You're not "locked in" or anything.
