what a great report, anna! glad he's feeling better.

When he had that blue streak on 9/29 - the 121AT = about 90 on a human glucometer. That was only one cycle, but looking at the protocol, I would be thinking about at what point you should slow down a little on the increases:

Increasing the dose:
Hold the dose for 3 - 5 days (6 - 10 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are less than 200 before increasing the dose by 0.25 unit.

if your cat is new to numbers under 200, it is recommended to hold the dose for at least 8-10 cycles before increasing.

when your cat starts to see nadirs under 100, hold the dose for at least 10 cycles before increasing.

hi Julie!
so do you think I should hold this dose abit longer then?

I would go ahead an increase. You reduced Bailey's dose when you switched to Lev. We recommend the reduction for safety reasons but most frequently, you need to get back to your Lantus dose. As long as you can monitor, if it were me, I'd increase.

i agree with sienne - i didn't mean holding it yet, i meant to watch and when you're seeing mostly green nadirs, then consider it. i was just giving you a heads-up because you don't post every day.
