Seeking help for correct Dose

[Din]

It’s 20.7 Bron

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I'm not sure if Bron is around, but we were discussing that you could try 0.5U tonight. Do you think you can measure that on the syringe and post a pic here? 0.5U would be half between 0 and 1U.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

@Bandit's Mom and I have been talking and we think you would be best to start off with 0.5 unit twice a day. That is 1/2 unit in the morning and 1/2 unit at night.
It might not be enough but we need to start somewhere and we can always increase the dose.
So can you draw up 0.5 unit into the syringe please and then take a photo of it and post it so we can see you are drawing up the right dose as this is the first time you have used a syringe. ?

Hi Din, that is half way between 1 and 2 so it's 1.5 and not 0.5. You have to draw to half way between the first and second line. First line is 0 and second line is 1

When you have the time, this sticky has info and videos on how to draw insulin from a pen or a vial using a syringe. Bron might have shared it before:
Insulin Care & Syringe Info: Proper Handling, Drawing, Fine Dosing

Thank you then I’ll give it now

Great. If you need help with the spreadsheet, post the readings and I will input them in the SS

Yes. Like Bron suggested, we try 0.5u twice a day to see how she responds to that. We can always go up, if needed.

Let's see what she does tonight!
