? 11/18 Yellow amps- increase or not?

[Becca84]

Hey y'all!
After candi was in the blues what looked like all 11/16 with no insulin, she was in the yellow this morning. I gave her 0.5u. I checked her bg at +4.5, she was at 232. I'm thinking I need to increase. The vet mentioned yesterday that it looked like she peaked at +5 with the insulin. I'm thinking I should increase again. Thots or advice.

Thanks!
Candi & Becca

No...I would hold the .5 unit dose for at least 6 cycles and see if you can get in two shots per day.

You've skipped so many times that now we have to re-establish the depot so we can see what the .5 dose will truly do for her.

You really have to try and get more tests in during the 12 hour cycles.,
Just not pre shots

Unfortunately, that is only doable in the evenings during the week. The vet said to increase her to 1u as long as shes eating well and then do a curve this weekend. I've increased her before I got a chance to look back here, sorry. Her pmps was 232 and she ate a good amount of food. I will be checking her bg +2 to monitor until +5. She actually was hounding me this morning for food. it's been like 5 days since shes done that. I feel like shes back to her old self. Not 100% but shes getting there. Thanks guys.
