High at 4am, give dose early or wait?

I poke the bottom... I wipe it off really good and that helps get the circulation going. He's laying down when I test him... after the test I make sure he lays still for a little while so the wound can seal... usually distracting him with treats or food.

 

Is anybody online? I just tested at +11 Lewie is at 380. I only gave him 3 units this morning because I didn't want to have to stall tonight. It's 9pm here. Can I go ahead and shoot now at +11 without fear of "insulin overlap"? If yes, do I give 3 units or 3.25? I want to move up his schedule.

 

Yes, go right ahead. He'll probably be glad to have his insulin early with that number! Do you have a hunch on the dose? I'm leaning towards 3.25, but that has caused you some long cycles, so I think go with whatever you think is best.

 

Awesome Djamila. Thanks! My hunch is to do 3.0 tonight and then move 30 more minutes earlier in the morning to get me to 9am Central Time shoot time. I hope my thought process is correct.
3.25 indeed has caused some long cycles, so I guess he doesn't quite need a full 3.25. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll do 3 and a smidge.

 

Three-and-a-smidge is a great dose!

 

Love the three and a smidge!

 

I'm a fan of doses like "something and a smidge" or a "scant something".

Housekeeping detail: would you mind starting a new thread? This one is very long.

 

Good! Thank you.

Yes, next time I post I'll start a new thread.
