Until you have a good week or two of numbers, we'd like you to give insulin only if the test is over 200 mg/dL.
When your 1st test is less than 200 mg/dL, wait 30 minutes without feeding and re-test. If still below 200, you can either wait another 30 min or skip.
What you might do is stick with 0.5 units even if he is high tonight. Lantus effects build up over several days, so you just have to grit your teeth and be patient.
