? Stalling - Should I shoot at 180 AMPS?

Hi everyone, I am questioning whether I should shoot at a 180 AMPS about 2 hours after eating. He is currently on 3 U of Lantus BiD.

I know my spreadsheet has many holes - my vet explicitly requested that I stop testing as frequently but I've been doing AM/PM pre-shot tests given how dramatically Turkey's numbers have decreased since getting him off of the very high carb dry K/D.

If I do shoot, what might a good reduced dose be? Should I stall an hour? I just don't want to get him on a 12 hour cycle where I'm now doing his PM shot at 11:00 at night every night. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi
I cannot give dose advice but I can bump this--
The experts will want to see history if possible....

Thanks, @jayla-n-Drevon - I didn't get a definitive answer re: a proper dose before I had to leave the house this morning so I just halved it. He was the same as his AMPS when I tested at +7 so I guess that was the right call? I'll see where he is tonight soon.

I hope all is good

Better too high for a day than too low for a second.
I will tag a few experts for you

Thanks, @Chris & China and @jayla-n-Drevon - if mods want to delete this thread due to redundancy, that's fine - I've gotten info on the Lantus/Levemir board!
