    Hi I'm Diane, Tyler's my boy, I don't have a spreadsheet because my tablet is old and won't support Google sheets, people on here have tried to help me but no luck.I started a thread under the title
    Alpha Trak 2 strips vs Freestyle Lite or FreestyleInsulinx test strips it's 2 pages.
    I just don't know what to shoot tonight. I would appreciate it if someone would take a look at it. He did go into remission for about a week, then back into the 200's. Sorry it's in bold letters, I don't know why.I guess it's in bold letters because I copied the title. Thanks so much
    I'm ready to shoot around 10 pm
    Don't know whether to stay with 0.5 skinny or go to 1 unit
    I guess I'll stay with 0.5 units since I haven't heard from anyone
    Sorry I just found the Vetsulin forum

I saw it but am definitely not one experienced enough to give dose advice -- all I can pass along to you is what I've been advised == look for trends over time, rather than reacting on a dose-by-dose basis, realizing that we're only taking intermittent "snapshots" of the BG -- however, this was conveyed to me, since I'm still in the early stages of treatment, and it's apparent that Catcat is a bouncer, at least at the moment -- whereas you are flirting with remission (yay! :joyful:)

I'm reading the experience of those using the Freestyle Libre, who are finding unexpected lows, often "missed" when doing routine ear sampling; clear to me that it's all more complicated than we know now --
 
Here are some of Tyler's numbers

    You are too funny, I was so happy to see this number, his poor ears are so red from all the testing, I wonder why all of a sudden it's that low, I'm only going to test him tonight hoping I see a good number

    How about checking him again at +4 to see if he's down any more or not. I'm just curious as to how low he is going on the 0.5u dose and his nadir may be before +6.
    Oh it's to late , I already checked at +6
