    Currently I am giving Teal'c 1.5 units of prozinc twice a day. Still seeing high numbers. I had caught him in the dog food once and thought that might be why but have since picked up the dog food after feeding to keep him out of it. Still getting high numbers. If some one could take a look and let me know if they agree I would be grateful.

    I have to work tonight but off the next 3 day so would implement the change after work in the morning so I can make sure he does ok on higher dose.

    It does appear Teal'c needs a little more insulin. Do you have 1/2 unit markings on your syringes? We probably discussed this before but I'm a blank right now. If not, then I would strongly suggest getting syringes with 1/2 unit markings so you can make smaller dose adjustments. Ideally you'd raise the dose to 1.75u at this point but if need be you can raise it to 2u. Good idea to do the increase when you can monitor.

    Yes someone gave me a link to order syringes with 1/2 unit marks which I ordered and have received. Will go with the 1.75 over the next 3 days which should give me a good idea of how he will respond to the increase.
    Thank you for your help I know his numbers are trying to tell me something just figuring out what sometimes is confusing.
