I forgot about dropping under 50 on three separate times, I was thinking about
dropping the under 40 for a long term diabetic . Duh . You are on the ball Adrienne :cat:
Reducing the dose:

The TR Protocol is an aggressive method in itself. The modified version of the protocol is slightly more aggressive. Let's keep all our kitties in the Lantus, Basaglar, & Levemir ISG safe by taking reductions when appropriate.
  • If kitty drops below 40 (long term diabetic) or 50 (newly diagnosed diabetic) reduce the dose by 0.25 unit. If kitty has a history of not holding reductions well or if reductions are close together... sneak the dose down by shaving the dose rather than reducing by a full quarter unit.
  • Alternatively, attempt a reduction when the cat regularly has its lowest BGs in the normal range of a non-diabetic healthy cat (50 - 80 mg/dL) while staying under 100 mg/dl overall for at least one week.

If they drop below 40 it’s an automatic reduction. But if she drops below 50 three times it’s a reduction. Hopefully she does good this time with the reduction fingers and paws crossed
 
I thought dropping below 50 three times was only for kitties that didn't hold reductions well. Ruby will be a long term diabetic in 2 days. :( I need to get this straight. We're already only reducing after three times under 50 because I'm chasing steroid induced BG levels. Going under 40 sounds really scary! :nailbiting:

Automatic reduction if kitty goes below 50 three separate times. But not during the same day. Below 40 is an automatic reduction. Molly has seen 40 a few times. I was a little upset when Molly was considered a long term diabetic. But there is some kitties that still go in remission. Like @Diane Tyler's Mom. There is always hope and I hope one day Molly will. It’s going on three years now!

@Diane Tyler's Mom is an enormous inspiration to all of us! :cat: I hope it will happen for Molly, too. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
