Hey, Emmett below 50 again!

Just gave him some of his normal food.

Am I going to 4.5 iu or 4.75 iu?

Thanks again all!

Rather than tagging people, a better way to get attention is to put the question mark prefix on your subject title, and ask your question in the title as you have done.

In my opinion, I would go down to 4.5 units. The protocol says 4.75, but something has clearly changed in Emmett and he's going down fast. The 0.5 unit change gives a little margin of safety with what is still a decent sized depot and since you are away and unable to test during the day.

One big caveat, do NOT shoot if he's below 50 at shot time. It's too dangerous. Any preshot number will be food influenced. A skip may be a better choice to help drain the depot.

 

Hey Wendy, yes, you’re right I’d get a quicker response. I will do that next time.

As for this time. I was delayed tonight so I wound up being an hr late. So the PMPS is +13 and it was 74.

Dosed 4.5 iu. Thanks! We’ll see how he does.

I agree with the reduction! As I said on your 7/1 post, he has "snapped" and if you aren't home during the day, safety first.

This is exciting to see.

 

This is very peculiar. Haha. I guess he has "snapped" for now. Tonight is very, very flat – almost no fluctuation so far. I'm gonna try and get a +6, but I'm not sure I can get myself up...
