Yesterday: 12 June
I made the executive decision to reduce his dose by 0.25 u this AM. I realize that it might not have an effect for a cycle or two. He didn't have 3 lime greens at the previous dose: one was a definite on 09 June and the other was a 50 that showed as lime green on the US sheet but not on the world sheet.
On 07/09/12 June he had great runs of green but I had to: 1. cancel plans away from home (I'm the sole CG), 2. watch him like a hawk, 3. steer with food and 4. test so frequently that my very patient "easy" kitty was getting fed up with it. I'm learning quickly where my limits are in keeping on top of his numbers.
The rest of my week is busy with commitments away from home at key times relative to Lantus's action. Autofeeders aren't a solution with three cats who eat differently - one on a hypoallergenic diet. Going forward, my plan is to try to schedule things later in the day if I can but it isn't always possible.
Layered on top of all these issues is Teasel's bounciness and unpredictability. Yes, he's become more stable recently at 3.5 u. However, I don't feel that I can rely on him to stay safe when he's treading that close to the cliff's edge. That's why I want a little extra margin.
So - that's my thinking for today. I might well change my mind later. All part of the marathon ...

I was really enjoying her long swim in the lagoon but I wish she'd stayed closer to shore overnight instead of threatening shark territory. Living up to her name yet again! 
Finally shot at +16.5 at a wopping 138!
