Hi everyone,
I have been trying to figure out a dose that works for Blaze, who is now out of remission.
Vet suggsted 1U once a day. I changed it to 0.50 twice a day. I just tested the BG before dinner and it is the highest it has EVER been even during our first round of insulin last year.
Should I increase to 0.75 for his shot tonight? @tiffmaxee

It was shot time and didn't hear from anyone, I decided to go with my gut and left the amount to 0.50U for tonight's insulin still. I am going to see how he does in the next few hours.
 
Hi Paola :bighug: Glad you didn't increase - IMHO, I'd hold the dose at least for 6 cycles per TR (unless Blaze goes <68 on your pet meter)...and perhaps longer since you are still building the depot back-up (when starting on insulin the dosing method sticky says to hold for 5-7 days (10-14 cycles)). Perhaps @tiffmaxee can stop by to weigh in too.

Yes exactely, I just panicked when I saw the high number but i did read the sticky as well...I am going to wait a few more cycles. I won't let the numbers scare me.
 
Just seeing this. The initial depot takes a week to build. No increases until then. The one bad thing about tags are I miss them if I am not on line when they post and they are too far down the list. You can always pm me and ask me to look at your condo.

No worries! I will do that and thank you!
Blaze was very low at +3...he actually ate a lot right after. I am gonna test again in 30 min.

That is fantastic news! I was worried about the really high 26.4 reading he had at PMPS last night and thought he should remain at 0.5U but I am starting to remember how this works now...when there is such a low reading at any point, it's ok to lower. I hope we are going in the right direction towards a second remission. School has not started yet and I am able to monitor my baby and feel safe he is ok.
