    I'm wondering if I gave her a little too much insulin the other day....I'm really having a difficult time seeing the exact spot for .25 - and when her numbers went down a couple of days ago, I 'may' have been putting 1.5 into the syringe - my husband pointed out to me that where I had the plunger wasn't 1.25 - so he set one of the syringes up for me at the 1.25 step - and I use it as a guide. Is that possibly why she had some blues and greens the other day and none since I've been more careful about getting the .25 on the syringe more exact? It's very hard for me to see the 'blank' space between the two lines...there was a discussion about this the other day as well...so I think I've got the dosage right now - however the results after 3 days indicate that this may not be enough insulin? Of course, we'll wait for another 5-7 day cycle at this dosage before changing - which should be coming up soon.

    I’m doing the same. Waiting til I can increase. When I measure a quarter unit I fill to the half then squeeze out a drop. Eg 2.75u I out in 3u and squeeze out a drop. Seems to be accurate. At least it’s consistent.
