    As seen in the spreadsheet. His AMPS is 40. I think it is sure that it is no shoot. After half hours of eating, his BG went to 67 ml. As mentioned by @Nan & Amber (GA) and @Bron and Sheba (GA) , his dose should be adjusted to 2.5 U. But given the information now, what to do?

    I'm thinking the 67 is food influenced. If you don't get a reply from more experienced members with dosing, I think I would skip the shot.

    I would plan on skipping tonight and reducing your next dose down to 2.5

    He's had a lot of low numbers in the past week and that's a pretty good case for the dose being too high.

    I agree with Chris. Definitely skip the dose. Monkey is doing very well in Lantus. I’d get a few tests in during the cycle to see how he goes without the insulin and to see he comes back up. is he eating ok?

    He is eating ok, more than the past few days. It seems he regain his diabetic huge appetite. I want to add that his weight increase by 10 lbs within 10 days. He has more muscle now.

    By saying "skipping tonight". It is 14:05 PM now in Hong Kong. Do you mean skip that AM dose that I skipped already and give 2.5 U for coming dose at night. Or do you mean skip the coming dose? Or do you

    Has Monkey put on 10 lb in 10 days .....do you mean 10 ounces? 10 lb is a huge amount.

    Yes, Chris meant skipping the am dose....it is night time for her and she probably didn’t realise you were at AMPS.
    Have you got any other tests in after the 130 at +3?

    So it’s only about 2.20 pm for you isn’t it? And you don’t shoot til 10.30 pm, is that correct?

    Yes, I dont shoot til 10.30 pm Hong Kong time. , it is 6 hours later. Yes, I get a test at +5, his BG is 250 ml in

    My mistake. He put 2 lb of weight in about 10 days.

    2lb is still wonderful Peter! You will have to take another photo of Monkey to show us.
    Monkeys BGs are going up because the dose was skipped. Can you get another test at +9 low I can see what it is. I’ll be asleep by the time your PMPS comes around.

    Yes, 2.5U is his current dose. This high isn't surprising-- he went low and had both a reduced shot and a skip, so the depot isn't able to keep up.

    How is he doing otherwise? How are the skin issues?

    I agree with Nan the dose is 2.5 units, as long as you can test during the cycle.
