Re: POTENTIAL HYPO ALERT - THE NEW TEDDY
Thanks for the link. We have some corn syrup (karo syrup) ready to go if needed, and a copy of a similar document on our fridge. I'll probably be up all night (I used to work nights) and I'll keep an eye on Boo.
EDIT
My roomate has responded in the original thread

Re: POTENTIAL HYPO ALERT - THE NEW TEDDY
We are pretty confidant that at this time (looking at this curve after the AM shot) that he's within a good range, but I will test him in a few hours. We do have the "old" food they were eating, and, some "treats" that do have gravy, so we do have options in case of a hypo. I understand that we are trying for a tight-regulation lantus (though my expertise in this is more with keeping the cat calm, doing pokies when vidya or boo gets stressed, and keeping track of the numbers) but Vidya (my roomate) is generally the one who is on top of the medication and I trust her judgement.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention however. My original plan was to turn in but I will stay up with Boo just to be sure. We are still new at this!

If you post over on Lantus, there are several folks there who are very experienced, especially Sienne.
If she says you're oK, you can relax. If she says not, grab some coffee 'cause it'll be a long, long night (Which I did one of the first times I shot too low with no data).
