I went back to the office yesterday so this is second-hand via Rachel. I'll just give a summary and Rachel can fill in details later if she likes.
The doctors decided that the short-term insulin just wasn't working on its own, and gave Isaac a dose of slow-release insulin as kind of a baseline. Then they supplemented that with additional short-term doses. His glucose reading was in the 100s and low 200s all day and night, and at least once he didn't need the extra short-term shot.
They also got Isaac a glucometer that just needs a small drop of blood to read instead of a pipette's worth. A pipette is already pretty small but this should make things just a little easier on him.
Isaac continues to eat well.
