I gave him 2 spoons of ff florentine. I dont want him to go lower.
ill check hi when he is done.

We hire an animal nurse company called spooknyc. We are going away for a week. He is going to stay here with our friend and the nurse will come to check him.

The higher depot is still at work. It takes 4-6 cycles for the depot to adjust to the reduction.

Which days are you gone for?

Most likely tomorrow.

Then you want to reduce his dose to a vacation dose from tonight itself. Will he be getting insulin when you are away?

@tiffmaxee Vacation dose of 3U?

 

[tiffmaxee]

How often will the nurse be coming? I think 3.0 should be good.

will be like the last time but this time a nurse will come to check his blood.

oh we did it last time.

It’s not recommended. Your friend should be able to easily draw up 3.0 I would think?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

If not, you can use pen needles and use the pen to give 3U. You will need to prime the pen each time so there will be some wastage of insulin.
Might be more accurate than your friend measuring the wrong dose and risking a hypo like the last time!

Here’s why pre-loading is not a good idea. See #17 by Julie.

[Ashleigh & Ares]

Whoa! Scary!

 

[tiffmaxee]

Oy. Will the nurse be administering insulin? That’s super scary.

We got back and the nurse told that she reduced the insulin because he went lower than 50.
