In the beginning i didasmany test i could, so after a few days i had a pretty good idea of when Props nadir was. Now i test at shot time and then try to get a test between +4 and +6. Every other week i try to make a mini curve, where i test every two hours from +3 to +9.
 
Christi - when we (DH and I) first started testing, we also tested a lot. 9 times the first day. The spreadsheet really helped us get a clear picture of what was happening, so the more tests, the more filled-in boxes, the better. More on weekends, of course, as we had the time. During the week, it usually turned out to be four times a day (AM, lunchtime, PM, before bed) as that was just more convenient for us humans. Now that Alice is off the insulin, I plan to test her just twice a day for this month and then taper off.
