Re: 03/27 J.D. PMPS HI
when you say you wish you could get help for his BG's, are you meaning you want someone else to suggest dosing help?
i'm happy to give you my 2 cents for free.
one thought is to try Lev - it looks like JD maybe doesn't get as much duration from the Lantus as he needs - he seems to rise pretty high at the end of most cycles. since Lev has longer duration, that in itself might help flatten him out. it might be worth a try.
my other thought is to try using R when the bounce is beginning. it's impossible to do when you're gone til the next shot, but you might be able to make progress with him just by doing it when you are home. For example, on 3/23 at am+9/233 it looks like he's on his way up. He's gone up 150pts in 2 hrs. I wonder if the drop of R at that point would've cut his rise off without causing him to plummet.
Just seems to me that using R when a cat is really high can cause such a large fast drop - it's like they've jumped off a skyscraper - that it often sets up a bounce for the next cycle.
another thought (apparently there are more thoughts in my head than i expected!) :lol: is to see about getting the R diluted. You can't do that with the L insulins, but i think i saw something recently that made me wonder if R could be diluted. I have no idea where, though, so can't provide the document. Might be a question for a compounding pharmacy. that might allow you to have more control over his response to it, because he's obviously very sensitive to the R.
