Did a curve on day 5 of 1.75U dose - forgot about being patient. Day 6 (yesterday) she had much better numbers. Reduced her dosage to 1.5U based on her PMPS of 189 last night. Went back to her 1.75 dosage today to complete 7 days at 1.75U and her numbers keep going up. I probably made more than one wrong decision and would appreciate any input of where to go now and what/if I made any wrong decisions. My husband does the shots and he assured me it wasn't a fur shot this morning. So sad that she didn't stay in blue. Do I need to raise her tomorrow to 2 units? Is she getting too much? I can't make sense of what's going on. I am pretty much doing a curve today the best I can with other things I need to take care of. No Ketones. Dolly is over me!!!

Thanks for any help.

I don’t understand what made you decide to reduce last night. I would have stuck with the dose. Nadirs were not mostly under 90. Hold the dose now at 1.75 is what I would do.

Thank you. I knew, after the fact, that I probably made the wrong decision. Her preshot number was under 200 so I was conflicted in the moment. Do I hold that dose for another week?

I think so. See what the numbers tell you.

I may have to take my husband to emergency hosp. Should I just skip her dose to be safe? Shot due in 1 1/2 hours. Don’t know yet what or when, just monitoring him. Sorry, just looking for best thing to do to keep her safe if I have to leave.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes. Skip. I hope your husband is okay.

Yes. Skip. I hope your husband is okay.

He’s up and hopefully better. Thanks so much. Scary. I appreciate your thoughts.

For future reference, you should have held the 1.5 unit dose for 7 days, instead of increasing on the 20th. That 85 yesterday also meant you should have reduced the dose back to 1.5 units.
