Raise the dose?

So I was thinking I could raise TK to 1.5 units in the morning. But I was a little hesitant because he's bouncing and thought maybe by I should leave it alone for a bit longer to see if he calms down.

Also,. Thinking I may switch to TR, but I feel like I need more information. I plan on making it a point to get +1 and try to get a +10 a few times a week.

I feel like I just don't understand how to REALLY use the information that I have. Any tips on how I should be using the information that I have?
 
I am not an expert but I can try to help.

Your Kitty SS is quite colourful!

It looks like she is seeing some decent blues on this dose. You can see on the 4th that she cleared a bounce and hit blue for a nice surf then her liver went into diva mode and she went to pink by morning. She cleared that bounce on the 4th cycle and again she bounced. It likes she takes 3 or 4 cycles to clear the bounce.

According to SLGS you hold for a week and do a curve. I am wondering if doing a curve this weekend would be helpful? If she keeps to pattern she will clear that bounce tomorrow sometime. Would be nice to see how she does on 1.25u.

Her numbers are high enough at nadir to go up to 1.5u but l would do a curve tomorrow if possible.
 
I think you test enough to do TR and it may help since you'd be able to increase the dose as often as every 3 days if it's not getting the results you want (which is nadir's in greens)

It's still very early since you've only been on Lantus about a month...it may just take more time. It was 4-5 months before I started seeing something that resembled a pattern on China

Hang in there....the sugardance is a marathon, not a sprint!
 
So I raised the does to 1.5 because he has been on 1.24 a bit and his numbers are high still. Also, I can give a more consistent dose of 1.5 and I believe that will help.

I can do a curve on the weekends, so I will be able to get some midday numbers.

I really value all the advice! Thank you!
 
I would have raised the dose. I'd also urge you to get an early test in -- maybe a +2. You're testing looks like your kitty's numbers dropped from +10 last night to your AMPS. I'd want to make sure that since you shot a dropping number, there's not huge momentum from the drop that may be a bounce breaking coupled with a dose increase.
 
I was a little late for the +2, but I'm watching him now.

I like the idea of switching to TR, but I'm nervous about the shooting with green. However, that's not going to happen overnight. It will take me a little before I even have the opportunity to shoot to green.
