Hello,
Sat. @3:45pm Michael.s bg was 131. Sat @ 4:45 pm it was 138. (The 2nd reading was after he ate.)
This Morning before he ate, the bg read 468@ 5:30am. Why such a big difference? He is taking 1.5u of lantus 2xday.
Also could someone look at Michael's ss to see if I am posting correctly.
Thanks,
Paula and kitty Michael
 
It is most helpful if you reference the numbers in terms of how long it has been since the insulin. This is because members are in numerous time zones and because where the test is in regard to the shot helps determine what may be happening.

AM PS = morning pre-shot
+# = any test # hours after the shot
Ex
+2 = any test 2 hours after the shot
+4 = any test 4 hours after the shot
PM PS = evening pre-shot

(And my phone has trouble with the spreadsheets, so I didn't get a look at it yet.)
 
Thanks.
According to your instructions, I think I'm posting correctly. When you get a chance, take a peak at Michael's SS.
Still don't know why his #'s go from one extreme to another. For example, one day @3:45pm (+10) his bg was 131. The same day at 4:45pm (pmps) his bg was at 138. The next morning at 5:30am (amps) his bg was 468. That is quite a difference. I'm doing everything the same way.
I test before he eats.

Sometimes too much insulin, a sudden drop, or a drop to an unfamiliar glucose level results in compensatory hormones releasing stored glucose (glycogen). In the latter 2 cases, we call it a "bounce"
 
Thanks for explaining this, BJM. I know now that he had a bounce.
