Well I hope we are regulated when I go away as my pet sitter won’t be able to adjust dose. I’ll likelt have to give him no insulin for two and a half weeks or half his usual dose.Unfortunately insulin is a hormone and it's not consistent. What numbers you get on a dose at one time may not happen the next time. Hopefully you'll see some green soon.
Well I’m hoping to try again for the testing but she won’t be able to make judgement calls re reducing if she sees a low number.
Thanks. But she won’t be able to draw up doses either. I will either have to prefill or have another friend (not asked yet) come in and prefill a couple days at a time. And es I know we are not supposed to prefill but sometimes you have no choice. I do all the time anyways as I can’t see straight to draw at 5:30am so I do it the night before. I don’t think she will be able to test as she couldn’t last time. Thanks for the advice but it’s either no insulin or shooting half dose blind.
I wish. She’s not computer literate and can barely text.
Could this be an explanation of some of the unexplained variations you're getting? It might be interesting to keep track of which doses were predrawn and which ones weren't. I've heard that you don't really have a choice, but if I recall what I've read predrawing might really change the potency of the insulin. So if you're doing that it's important to take it into account, I'd say.
No choice. Prefill daily. Not much point tracking as this won’t change. I really don’t have the time for all the tracking. Only doing three tests a day now and posting rarely. Life is busy and I can’t be on here daily.
I said I heard you had no choice, and wasn't questioning that. Even if it won't change, tracking it might help you understand how it influences Silver's numbers. It's another variable in the mix.
