I can see it.

Wow - he can get as much as a 200 mg/dL drop on 1 unit! You'll want to consider that when shooting.

It looks like he nadirs around +6, and possibly the insulin may wear off a little before 12 hours. Some tests in the +10, +11 period may help you determine if that is true.

 

This morning was low. When you get a number that far below 200, be sure to retest, so you are sure she is headed up and not still down, and nearer 200.

I think I might reduce a bit, Matt. It looks like she almost always has blues, especially overnight and then maybe bounces up for the pre shot..although not this am. Do you think you can eyeball a dose between .75 and one unit? If not, maybe stick with 0.5 for a few cycles and see if she continues to drop.

She is looking really good. Gradually dropping over time is exactly what you want to see.

 

Wow! I agree....looks like it is time for a decrease.

 

Sorry just now saw this. Yea I was wondering why her morning preshot and some night preshot were in purples now.. guess that makes sense

 

Yep, bouncing can cause that!

 

Dang it. I should of known .. so if I drop to .75 is that going to be enough or should we go .5.. .5 is hard to do in that dang syringe. They need to make those things easier to do .5 units

 

Whichever you feel you can do. If you can eyeball .75, go for it. If not, stick with .5 and we can see if that works.

Have you thought about getting u100 needles? They make it much easier to give .25 adjustments. IF you do get them, let us know before you use them. There is a conversion chart you have to use...it's really easy to use, but it's important so that you give the correct dose.

 

Think I'll eyeball for now. A conversion is another thing to add into the mix lol. Never ends.. and I did just buy 100 more syringes so have to use these guys up first then maybe. I'm gonna drop to .75 tonight and see how it goes. I'll keep posting updates for guidance

 

I'm lovin' what I just saw on your spreadsheet, Matt - GO, Tabby! (Have nothing else to add; great advice from all above!)

 

Thank you all

 

i have updated tabbys chart for this past week...

 

She is looking okay, Matt. As always, we are reluctant to push because you aren't around to monitor. What would you think about upping the dose to 1.25 on a cycle you can monitor and maybe a week you can sneak home for nadir a few times?

My guess is that she has gotten used to the 200s and she needs a little jump start to get lower. But we want to do it safely.
