Hey all, just thought I'd update you all on Emmett. All is going well, and Emmett has been on a nice, steady insulin dose decline, every 7 days (14 cycles for the past few months -- June 22 to be precise).
EDIT: I thought I should add, he's gone from 7 units of Lantus -- currently at 2 units.
There have only been a handful of blue numbers (since August, only 4 blue readings -- since July 9, only 9 blue readings; July 9 is kinda where he started to get green numbers consistently).
Averages (taken from my glucose meter iOS app):
7 days (34 readings): 4.3 (77.5)
14 days (73 readings): 4.4 (79.3)
30 days (156 readings): 4.3 (77.5)
90 days (604 readings): 5.3 (95.5)
Essentially glucose readings since Emmett started Lantus treatment. Quite cool to see the drop at the end of June! (February 10 until present)
Chart of Lantus insulin dosing since the start of treatment (February 10 until present):
BG Report -- Kinda neat to see the readings within the target range for the last 90 days
Contour diary -- This is real cool. We can see the average deviation of the readings from June 22 on a week to week basis, and we can see them get tighter and tighter (from 4.9 (88 mg/dl) to 0.5 (9 mg/dl) (present) deviation -- deviation is the low reading to the highest reading for the day ...I believe). We can also see the number of readings within the green target range (from 14% of the readings to 100% in range!).
*Note: yellow readings in the diary are what our charts have as blue readings.
June 22, he had an AM reading of 16.2 (292 mg/dl)!

Far more attractive than their movie counter parts
