Okay I will do that and thank you I’m trying my best. I didn’t give him any insulin tonight because I gave him the full 3 this morning initially as that is what I was told at first. But it’s just like you all said I just tested and he’s up to 464 I’m so upset. I know 300s aren’t great either but we had him down to at least 316. I need to have a different dosage schedule I don’t know why they started me off with just once a day.

I know everyone was saying to maybe spread out the 3 units.
 
its ok, those high numbers are upsetting to see in the beginning but it will get better. It's ok you didn't shoot, now you can set your 12 x 12 schedule for 830a and 830p, starting tomorrow, or 7am - 7pm or whatever you want.

best advice you got was start at 1u, hold it for 7 days. Insulin glargine likes consistency.
 
Gotcha thank you! I don’t know why they didn’t have him on twice a day to begin with even when I spoke with the on call today earlier they said it should be twice a day.
