08/19 Mouse PMPS 211, +2 188, +3 151, +4 109, +5 114

[Phoenix R.]

I guess we're going to continue to be stuck in this constant bouncing, is it possible the dose is too high? I've read a couple of things that said if the dose is too high you you can get these drastic drops when the insulin kicks in and jumps when it wears off.
Idk, maybe I'm just being impatient, this is just so frustrating.

I got a hold of our vet yesterday and she will be taking clindamycin for her teeth when it arrives from Chewy since her gums are still red by her canines after the round of Orbax.

Her body is reacting to being in lower numbers that it's used to. She also needs more insulin. That will give her more duration and also help with bouncing. Unless you see green today, I would take her up to 1.25U tomorrow.

Btw, the PM+5 from last night has to be added to the SS.

Ok... Will do. Thank you

 

[Phoenix R.]

Looks like it might be a long night...

 

[Bandit's Mom]

She's been flat all day so hopefully she will continue that and give you a gentler PM cycle. Like on 8/17.

I hope so... I'm so tired

Did she get food at +2? Can you get a +3?

 

[Phoenix R.]

I fed her at +1, +1.5 and +2... 1-2 tsp
Yes I can get a plus 3... It'll be about 10 min from now...

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Don't fill her up. You want her hungry enough to eat later in the cycle, if she has to

Ok... +3 151

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Ok... +3 151

A gentle curve. Her nadir might just be at +4. Think you can stay up for it?

[Phoenix R.]

Yeah I can do that... Hopefully there won't be a steep drop off... +4 is in about 45 min.

+4 109

 

[Bandit's Mom]

+4 109

Almost green! Did she get more LC?

 

[Phoenix R.]

Yup... Gave her another tsp lc

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I expect she'll head up from here, so you needn't stay up. I'm sure you could use an early night

+5 is only about a half hour from now... Was thinking of taking a 20 min nap and grabbing one last test... Do I still increase to 1.25u tomorrow am?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Do I still increase to 1.25u tomorrow am?

We haven't seen any greens on this dose yet. Let's see what she does at +5. You could give it 10 cycles in all but I wouldn't hold it longer.

Ok... +5 114

Looks like her nadir is indeed +4. That's a good piece of data you have now

You can hold the dose one more day, but I would increase after that.

Ok... Sounds good... I'll put her snacks out and go to bed I think . Thank you
