2/15 Darcy AMPS 374, +4.5 425, +6 381, +8 439, PMPS 393, +1 383, +2 403

Update for evening: Gave 15 L and .5 R. Tested at one hour. Down a little bit (10 points so not significant). What I think is good is that, with a meal at PMPS time, when he normally would have had a rise in glucose, he really didn't. I'm interested to see what happens over the next hour.

Morning post:
This insulin does nothing. I don't think he'd be any higher without any insulin at all. I can't think how many times since his diagnosis that I have said those words... stood in my kitchen looking at my daughter saying.... (in a loud and animated/passionate voice) "this insulin does NOTHING... NOTHING!!!" Then I look down at my Darcy who is sitting on the barstool just looking at me like.... well.... aren't you going to feed me?? So I say, well of course, your such a GOOD boy... etc. (lots of praise for the kitty in case he should think that my overly animated tones were directed at him.)

But ugh! I would have expected he could at least be a tiny bit lower at +4.5... the insulin should do something. He hasn't even had food since first thing this morning at 5:45 a.m. so the food should be cleared. Oh well.... I know I am impatient (except that we've been doing this since last June). Oh well, best not waste any more time complaining. Will keep on keeping on... will be trying the .5 R with the 15 units this evening. Sorry for writing so much.

Greetings to all the extra special sugar cats out there!

Except the ketones are down. One more cycle at 0.5 U R, then we'll increase if no action.

Today is also New Dose Wonkiness day.

 

Thank you, Wendy! About to start his .5 R with the 15 L in minutes this morning. I appreciate your help. I’ll post again today.

 

Hey Suzanne, hope you see some movement today

 

Thanks Gill! I’ll be posting soon.

 

How are you getting on Suzanne?

 

Thank you for asking. Sorry it took me so long to post. I didn't get a chance to actually updated his SS until after I finished running my kids around this morning So far, not a whole lot of movement. I think it may be keeping him from spiking when he eats though. Maybe a little more will be necessary to "help" the Lantus.
