Could I please get someone to look at Charlie’s spreadsheet.

should I increase insulin every second day and not third/forth day by .5u? Or is there any other suggestions?

It looks like after the second day his BG increases.
 
Now that you are at 10 units total dose, I would increase by 1.0 units at a time, every six cycles, as long as you aren't seeing greens. With one proviso, you have to get both AM and PM preshot numbers, and a second test each cycle, including the night. If you cannot get that many tests, the increases would be slower.

You don't have enough data to conclude that his BG increases after the second day.

Hi Wendy,

Do you think I would be able to increase Charlie's dosage to 11 Units tonight.

I am glad to see that you increased to 11. You didn’t see anything but pink and red on 10 units so no need to hold the dose any longer.
 
And someone probably already mentioned this, but it’s not uncommon to see BG higher on the second day after an increase. This happened a lot with my acro kitty. It was new dose wonkiness. The third day things usually settled down. I am so glad you are using Levemir! All paws crossed here for Charlie!
 
Good luck with the new dose. Glad you increased. By the way, since you are using Levemir, you could post the the Lantus/Levemir forum for dosing help faster. This forum is rather more quiet and not insulin specific.

I didn’t know that.
 
Usually if it’s a question or discussion specific to acromegaly then here is the place to post. If it’s a question about dosing, then the Lantus/Levemir forum would be the place to post.
