7.2 is high? I thought that was good. I check anywhere from 4-6 times a day. At dinner we only do a sliding scale, example if it's 200, I will give 2units of reg(sometimes 3 if I know he will eat it all and possibly have 2nds) He doesn't always finish his food which is a hassle. I am afraid that if I give nph it might go too low and he could go into a coma. Fortunately when he is napping or asleep and it has gotten too low,....he wakes up in a frenzy(crying and screaming)
