Need Evening Dosing Advice, Please

[Blamethecats and Hannah]

Just as I was planning to up Hannah's dose within the next couple of days, her morning AMPS was 200 -- best number she's had in quite a while. Didn't shoot, fed her morning meal (which she ate enthusiastically, as she's still feeling the effects of Mirtazapine), took her BG 2 hours later, and it had risen to 271. Still didn't shoot, because knew it was likely going up from her food intake. Left the house for a few hours. Before doing so, pulled her food so I could test upon returning home. At the time of my return, 2:00 PM, she was at 286, so gave her 0.2U to tide her over, thinking I would test in another 8 hours (10:00 PM) to see if I would be able to shoot another reduced amount by then. If she is clearly rising at 10:00 PM, after no food, I will do so. My question is: What amount should I give? I am sure it should depend on her BG number at that point. I am hoping some of you ProZinc experts can guide us through this, as Hannah has had quite a week and I don't want to make it worse. Thank you!

Edit: Just took her BG at +3 (5:00 PM), after food about an hour ago, and it was holding steady at 286.

Interesting. I see nothing on her spreadsheet that would explain why she is lower today, but we'll take it! I'd think if she is in the 300s, .4. (if the .2 wasn't there, I'd say .6 but with her long cycle, I'd be cautious..

Sue, her numbers have been some sort of a puzzle, this week, haven't they! It sure has me baffled. I have no idea why she would have started out lower, this AM, especially after the week she has put in. It pleases me, but I wish I could understand it. And she's staying sort of level, even after food. We will see what the next, few hours bring. Anything could happen, at this point. Wish she was more predictable. Leave it to Hannie! confused_cat

Forgot to ask: That 0.4 would be after 8 hours, correct? Not after 12? I just need to be very sure about this. Thanks. nailbite_smile
