Your Questions from post #94 with my responses in blue:
I will put in my signature that I switched to lantus and the date but don't know how to put it on the spreadsheet.
We can just put an extra row into spreadsheet with the Text "STARTED LANTUS". I can do this when you start.
I know it has to build up and not to be worried if I see higher pure shots correct?
Exactly. You won't see the full effects of the Lantus until the depot is filled which takes about a week when you start.
Try to stay as close to the 12 hour dosing as possible
You have 30 minutes leeway with shots each day. One shot can be 30 minutes early or late or both shots can be moved by 15 minutes.
Test, shoot and feed immediately is that correct
Test, feed, shoot all in a few minutes. You just need to know Tyler is eating.....he doesn't have to finish his food before you shoot. You can shoot while he has his head stuffed in his bowl.
Won't see a drop until around +2 Is that correct
You may or may not see a drop around +2. Depends on cat and that cycle. Everyday can be different.
Will worry about increases or reductions later
Exactly. Take this one step at a time.
Onset is usually @+2 is that correct
Yes
Also Putting a link in for the previous post for lantus I don't know how to do that
Go to previous day post, copy the URL and then start new post and paste URL you copied into first line.
Do you agree with me on waiting to start the lantus until Monday morning?
Absolutely fine. You can start whenever you want.
I will be following SLGS because of the dry Dr Elsey's food
Yes.

You are just wanting to do right by Tyler .... very thorough rather than slipshod
I was the same back when Elmo was getting ready to switch from vetsulin to Lantus 
....they decided to take him to vet last night instead 
After xrays and exam , guess what the vet did ? Stuck his pinkie up his bottom and said “ get ready for a poop”....
the exact words I’d said 
You are forever a hoot !!!
