10/22 Vinnie amps 314; +3.5 301

Yesterday's Post

Dropped the dose last night from 1u to 0.75u due to nadir < 90 (SLGS method; he dropped to 83 yesterday). PMPS was 289 and +3 after the reduced dose stayed high at 284. Already gave him his am 0.75u dose this morning, but I'm wondering if I can split the difference with the drop? Instead of going all the way down to 0.75, maybe do a skinny 1u? or a fat 0.75?

We don't skinny or fatten doses with SLGS. Even with TR, one gets around to skinnying and fattening doses only when a cat goes between 2 dose repeatedly and it seems like the ideal dose would be one in between.

He is bouncing from the lows he saw yesterday. It is hard to see those higher numbers after that beautiful cycle yesterday!

Thank you! I guess I really have to be patient, but it is so hard!

It is!

When you get comfortable with lower numbers, you can switch to TR, I read your previous post about losing a cat to hypoglycemia, so I can understand.

Nice numbers yesterday, Vinnie's Mom. Hope he breaks the bounce soon. Would you mind giving us just your first name? It is easier to address you.

Sure, it's Arloa.

Beautiful and very different name. If you can put it in your "signature" then folks can address you personally. It is, of course, completely up to you. It helps our correspondence to be more personal. Nice to meet you, Arloa, and welcome to you and your Vinnie Van Gogh, to this site. Bandit's Mom (Bhooma) is the best. You are lucky to have her looking after you and your Vinnie.

Patience pants get passed around a lot here. With SLGS unlike TR there’s no such thing as a failed reduction either. So you hold the new dose 7 days.
