Testing after 6 hrs and 365. Will moniter him and do a curve in a few days and let my vet know....

thanks for everyones help and concern..
 
That's great! 1u is a good starting dose. With Lantus, you want to get at least three tests a day--one before each shot, and one in the middle of either cycle (and a curve once a week). This is because Lantus is dosed based on the nadir, or lowest number of the cycle. Of course, testing more than that is always encouraged but those three daily tests are the ones that are really needed to adjust the dose correctly.

My schedule is crazy, so I used to set an alarm to get Bandit's mid-cycle test at night. I was literally testing in my sleep! :-D
