    As I'm home this weekend, I thought I'd see how she would go with a 0.1 as we've had 13 cycles of 2 drops and I'm still seeing blue spikes. Unwise, perhaps, but we'll see how she goes today. I'm not sure why she does this jump up at her pre-shots, especially the AM ones. She'll often do a nice drop at +11 and then jump up an hour later. No idea why! :confused:

    I know the nadir is what's important, not the pre-shot, but most of her numbers are in the high 80s and 90s, so I thought I'd see how today would go with the 0.1.

    I did try to figure out how many drops are in the 0.1 with the insulin ruler. I'm not sure how one really does that, but it seems like there are three drops. I don't think I'd be very good at drawing 0.1 and then getting rid of a drop or two! I'm sure there are tricks to that, though...?

    I hope all are well! :bighug:

    I always twisted the plunger of the syringe to help get air bubbles out. Sometimes I would get out drops by doing that, but other times i would get a bunch of insulin. :rolleyes: Not sure if that would work with such a small dose of insulin. Overall, Girlie’s spreadsheet looks awesome! :bighug:

    Thank you! I look back at 2017 with all of the high, high blacks and reds and the dramatic dives and think: what a difference! I tried, but I don't think I can trust counting drops. She'll just have to get a syringe per drop! :)
