In case curious minds want to know how I measure .68U:

1mm = 1U

Re: Gandalf 5/20 AMPS 221/ spilt .68U
That's exactly what I was going to ask you! But photo looks like .8 or something (on the syringe). And weren't you dosing 1.25? Wouldn't have of that be .63?
Do you overdraw and they sqeeze off the excess with syringe next to the micrometer?
Nice PS.

Re: Gandalf 5/20 AMPS 221/ spilt .68U
Ugh! math skills!!
Sheila, you are right. So I gave a total of 1.36U this AM. No biggie as he was pretty nice tonight at 232. Still considering an increase either next week or the week after when I'm off and can get some decent curve numbers for a change. I can begin the increase as early as next Saturday because I work early both the Sat & Sun of Memorial weekend. He needs a minimum of cycle changes so the dose change is the only factor and maybe it will stick. Even with the splits I think the main reason I'm getting nowhere on doses now is it changes too frequently to establish the right amount of overlap, then we go have to do earlier shots, which causes too much overlap....
Round and around we go....

Oh, I can't believe you didn't call me on my spelling of "have" (half).....!
I know what you mean about the schedules. I don't even have an excuse, but it is tough to keep Jed on a 12/12 schedule - and as it is, he is off from his eating schedule - I am shooting an hour after I feed him. I need to get that back in sinc, let it settle and do a curve too.

Oh and in answer to your syringe question, yes, that's what I do. I squeeze off a little drop or maybe a little air and then remeasure. Sometimes it takes me a minute.

Definitely impressed with not only the micro-dosing but hell, the math skills as well :lol:
I hear what you guys are saying about having the consistency of shot schedules but no one gets insulin more consistently at 12 and 12 than Molly and her numbers are a trainwreck so please don't beat yourselves up over that.
Like you Vicky, i need to get some curve numbers and am hoping to do so tomorrow. Too bad we couldn't round up all the kitties and take turns with curves - kinda like i'll take everyone tomorrow and run a day of curves, Sheila, you get everyone next time 'round, hee hee.
Have a great week end all my Lev friends!!
