I reduced her a.m. dose to .5u PZ (from 1u). (I'm still recovering from last week's trip to the black end of the SS scale and not keen to visit the pale green end!) (~20 years ago dangerously low numbers earned my beloved Sporty a 4-day stay at the U of MN's acute care unit. It nearly killed him, and it nearly killed me. To say nothing of the $2000+ (in 20xx dollars) it cost. No sir, don't want to go down that road ever again!)

Her appetite is good and demeanor/behavior is back to normal. However, she's here to tell you that despite what you read on the interweb, her ears have PLENTY of nerve endings thank you very much. <insert scowly face here>

My plan is to test her again at +5.

Thoughts?

Can't comment on the dose (haven't used Prozinc) but +5 test looks to be a good plan. From your previous mid-cycles it looks like a good time to catch how low the dose is taking her BG. (Note: Nadir time can move around.)

She was so soundly asleep in her sunny window at +5 that I decided to let her sleep another hour.

That's cool! :)

It's good to grab tests at different times because:

- It can help you catch nadirs that occur at different times.

- It gives you information about the duration of the dose and overall response to the insulin.

Lola's demeanor has returned to normal: long periods of sleep in the sunny windowsill interrupted by periods of tail-twitching, chattering bird watching at the feeders just outside the window. Her appetite is good. I'd be happier if she at a little more because she got so skinny, but at least we're moving in the right direction.
