The link above is to Smiffy's main thread where I update her progress every now and then.
However, she is showing a change in her numbers and the dose that she needs eg in the evening I used to hesitate to dose her at all on a number much lower than 10 (180) but now I can be confident to dose her at least one unit and her number will not come down much.
She does seem to have got herself into a pattern of coming down nicely in the day time but heading higher from her PM shot time even on the same dose. The question is whether she's dropping low very early in the PM cycle (have tested her a few times at +2 in the evening) and bouncing or whether she does just run higher at night and might need a slightly bigger dose then. It's a bit odd because when I give her one unit in the mornings, she pretty consistently drops a good number of points, but the same dose at night seems to send her higher - I wonder if someone on the here might have the answer to this for me?
Just from looking at the numbers, it almost looks as though I could be giving her 1.5 units even on a fairly low number at PMPS, but my concern with that is that if it is some sort of bounce or Somogyi, it wouldn't be safe....
My instinct is not to give her 1.5 units on a number around (just less or above) 10 (180).
I wonder if one of you - perhaps with experience of Caninsulin could throw some light on this please - I would be very graterful.
