1/13 Max AMPS 268, PMPS 139

[hollyall]

Last time I saw 268, I thought I had maybe done a fur shot the night before, but, now, I'm wondering if maybe the Miralax can cause a little BG spike. Both mornings where I saw 268, Max had a tiny dose of Miralax the night before (less than 1/8 tsp). Anyone else see something like that before?

One other question, after not quite 2 weeks at the .4u, I think I'm seeing that I'm not getting much of a nadir but good pre-shots. Near the beginning of the change, I was getting both: good pre-shots and pretty good nadirs. Now, there's not much difference between pre-shot and nadir. Pre-Shots seem to be around 150-190 and nadirs seem to be around 120-140. Any thoughts? Should I skootch the dose back to .5u? I think I was seeing a little bit of bounce at the .5u, but maybe things will have settled now that it's been about a month on Lantus. I did .5u this morning due the higher pre-shot, just not sure if I should keep it there or hold at .4u for a little longer.

Mine have never spiked on Miralax but ECID. And yes I would bring him up just a tad and see if you can bring his overall curve down.

Thanks Mel! I'm always lookin' for a reason and maybe it's just coincidence. I was going to try a small dose of Miralax one or twice a week to see if that would help for "maintenance." ;-) I'll skootch it to .5u, see how we do, and maybe try for a curve this weekend.

You're doing all the right things. I use Miralax as maintenance for a civvie too. It works. I just can't get enough of that face. Max certainly has some beautiful coloring

Remember insulin is a hormone so it has about as much logic when using it as a pregnant woman or a child in puberty...lol. Seriously think how logical any creature is when hormones are running amok.

PMPS is more like it! I gave .5u this morning and this evening.

Thanks Robin! I'm really hoping a little Miralax will resolve the problem. I know I'm totally biased, but I do think Max is pretty darn cute and tell him so all the time. Alska is right up there, looking picture perfect and kissable in your pic. In fact, I'm pretty impressed with the calibre of cute kitties on this board. ;-)
