Once again (part 2) Wolvi

Hi
@FrostD

Did you saw Wolvi's SS today?
what do you think its going on here?
This morning I was afraid to give him insulin and then at +6 he was 68 without insulin and now at PMPS I was expecting a lower value :(
 
Oh my goodness!

I would have reduced to 0.4 or 0.6U. So go with one of those but this time let's hold it 7 days unless he earns reduction.
 
Snifff
Reduced in the morning when he was with 109? Or today when he had 417?
But I saw that 400 and gave him 0.8...
Imagine that tomorrow he has again between 100 and 150 what should I gave him?
And if he his higher then 200?
@FrostD
So sorry to bother you so much but I'm really confused ❤️

Tonight with the 417. He's shown he can go red to green in a single cycle, so the more cautious thing would have been to reduce. But it's ok you keep a good eye on him I'm sure he'll be ok.

I am curious what would happen if you just stopped insulin altogether for a week, but that generally goes against most typical recommendations and risks ketones. Just looking at his numbers I wonder if he doesn't actually need the insulin and his body is fighting it

It can be a possibility
but right now I'm a bit afraid of trying it.
My daughter tested positive for covid and we are isolated at home. We cant go out until our national health system sends us a "free pass".
And if he needs a urgency vet I don't know what to do...:(
At least I must stay 7 more days at home
 
I understand! For now I'd just reduce to 0.6U in the morning. Hope your case of COVID is mild. We have a very big surge here right now, most of my family is getting it for the second time, even though vaccinated

Thank you ❤️
We are vacinnated twice and my daughter 3 times because she got the third one early because she is dentist. Until now she is the only positive in the house but with no symptoms. My husband, my son and I are still negative.
Just testing everyother day and waiting...
 
Good morning
@FrostD
Should I keep him longer with 0.6 U.
I'm feel so bad watching my boy asking for food every hour, I don't mind giving him but the poor doesn't leave the kitchen and never relaxes - the values are so high again. And if I try 0.7U (even though it's difficult on a U100 syringe)
:rolleyes:
 
Wolvi! It's your decision, you could try 0.8U again, or 0.7U if you think you can estimate it. Last time he was high for 6 days...we chose to increase and then he went low. So I'm not sure if we just needed to be more patient, or if it was coincidence. Bounces don't usually last that long.
 
Gah! Increase. Don't want these high numbers to get "stuck".

This is quite an unusual pattern. I'm thinking he might have IAA just at a very low dose (not sure if that's possible). It wouldn't necessarily matter because there's nothing to do but wait it out
 
I will increase to 1.2U???

Back in 2019 the first time he had diabetis we went to an endocrinologist because he had the same issues with regulation. Cushing/addison’s disease, acromegaly, insulin resistance and hyperaldosteronism (because he had low potassium but no high blood pressure) were ruled out.
:rolleyes:
 
Hi @FrostD
Hope you're Ok

I didn't said nothing before because I didn't want to bother you so much since we don't have many changes...
Can you take a look at Wolvi's SS...
Should I increase the dose or wait a couple of more days with 1.6U
thanks :)

It's never a bother! I'm sorry, usually I try to keep an eye on the cats I follow but I have been so busy lately.

That 98 doesn't really leave room for an increase. He needs to stop bouncing! He's having nice slow dips so there's not much you can do except (1) wait for him to stop bouncing (weeks/months) or (2) try an insulin like Lantus/semglee

I will wait some more time... I've just bought a bottle of Prozinc on 10th January... but changing insuline is something that my vet also said me once.
Changing makes me a little bit nervous, because the way of acting of Lantus is diferent isn't it?

That "98" was just that day sniffff... I will try to wake up in the middle of the night to give him food because we are having more high numbers in the morning maybe he goes very low during the night. What do you think? Could it be because of that?
Because during the day he eats every 3 hours...
 
I don't think he's going too much lower. Yes I would use up the vial and see how he does, unless he just keeps bouncing for another month or so...don't want him in those high numbers for too long

I thought Lantus was scary too when I first switched! It's really not that scary, just a little different. But there's a lot of people on that forum to help as well, day and night
