Cheers,

Questions:

• How long have you been running both?
• How many times a day do you dose Triton?
• How many times a day do you KHD test?

• Control or measurement only?
• If control, do you use Add on or adaptive?
• Biggest lesson learnt using KHD?

How long have you been running both? 4 months Triton, 1 week KHD
How many times a day do you dose Triton? 3
How many times a day do you KHD test? 6
Do you KHD test before you Triton dose? (such as 30mins before etc) Yes, 30 minutes before
Control or measurement only? Measurement only right now, I have much to learn
If measurement, Add on or adaptive? N/A
Biggest lesson learnt using KHD? Learning to accurately calibrate dosing heads is practically an art form, good quality graduated cylinder or precision scales are needed.

Questions:
How long have you been running both?
9 months.

How many times a day do you dose Triton?
17 x 1ml

How many times a day do you KHD test?
6 times

Do you KHD test before you Triton test? (such as 30mins before etc)
I don’t really get this question?

Control or measurement only?
Control

If measurement, Add on or adaptive?
Adaptive

Biggest lesson learnt using KHD?
Calibrate the probe and heads frequently. The alarm is a handy feature for when something fails or something is wrong (on the ProfiLux).

Thanks very much for the reply.

The forth question "Do you KHD test before you Triton test? (such as 30mins before etc)" was written incorrectly. I meant Triton dose.
Do you KHD test before you Triton dose? (such as 30mins before etc) Is the corrected question.

However, as you dose 17 times a day it really doesn't matter, you're practically dosing all the time anyway.

Little and often sounds like a good approach

Yeh I get where you’re coming from.

When I started I was dosing 24 x 0.5ml but found the KHD was struggling to keep it steady. I changed to 12 x 1ml and had more stable readings. Over the last six months I’ve had to increase the volume due to growth etc.
