Hello everyone,

Ducia's numbers climbing a little :(...

History: Monday 7/17 AMPS 290, +6 274: PMPS 164, +2 255, +7 317

Last night I opened new Solostar pen and had numbers that were even higher, like PMPS +7=317 :eek::blackeye:. I do not see any change in the behavior/acting/habits in Ducia that would suggest medical issue but who knows?

Decided to open 2nd pen from the shipment I received on Monday. The insulin was shipped with ice pack - one reason to think it's gone bad; also the package sat in the post office over the weekend - could very well be in the none AC facility, and that's another reason to speculate it's gone bad, it's hot here. :(:(:(

I should have increased Ducia's to 1U this AM but I didn't BC I read that increases were not recommended when starting new pen/vile.

Right now I am thinking of trying every single pen in the shipment if I see no improvement in numbers on the same dose of 0.75U. Is it stupid idea? If no improvement then I'd try the old vile again and will increase the dose. I am growing slightly frustrated here and ran out of ideas.

Hopefully not the entire shipment is bad...Although the price is twice as cheaper it is still significant amount to spend for me. Ducia looks her usual self, maybe a bit more lethargic but that's how she is in high-ish numbers.

Wishing everyone better day!

I'd wait on that. As soon as you poke into a pen its lifespan is reduced to a few months instead of the expiry date on the box. She might be bouncing and/or she might need a dose increase. Give it a week. That insulin is too expensive to discard because it *might* have been too warm. There was some info posted on FDMB recently about the ability of Lantus to handle high-ish temperatures better than very low temperatures.

If it is bouncing it would be awesome! (I cannot believe I am saying it). But what does she bounces from? The 30th six cycles ago is only thing I can think of...but it should be done with by now (me think).
Give it a week.
To give a week on 0.75? And to use the pen I opened this morning?:confused: And if doesn't work then too increase from the same pen or from the old vile? Sorry to sound silly, I haven't slept well since the +7...a bit confused...

Yes, I read it - afterwards...When I ordered last Monday we had heat wave and 120F was reported in some parts in CA over the last weekend. @my place it was over 100F. I decided to order the ice pack to come with the package BC girl at the Mark's pharmacy recommended it if the temps were above 90F... Now I have reason to think that the ice pack damaged the shipment.
I'd wait on that.
I will. It is very hard to see Pinks and not take any steps at all.
 
You could try an increase to 1 u maybe tomorrow.
Sounds like a plan. TY, Kris! If no movement - tomorrow AM I will increase to 1U.

On few occasions in the past after I whined and complained about no movement Ducia would throw in a Green, maybe a bit low-ish/ or drop-ish but still. Maybe she'll grant me this wish today..?:rolleyes:o_O

She's a bit unpredictable so it's best to stay calm and wait it out if you can. :bighug:
