I am concerned that Dolly is not getting enough insulin. Yesterday she was drinking and urinating like she was pre insulin. My thoughts were, something is making her thirsty, I wasn't thinking about pre insulin days, haven't seen this in awhile. She is eating well for her, nothing else stands out except I started her on the Zobaline and she has been through a lot this last week. I still get confused about SLGS and dosing. I probably should have raised her 3 days ago or am I supposed to hold the dose for a week and do a curve? What am I not getting? Someone did mention that I was changing the dose a lot. Need advice. Her glucose went up at +4 from AMPS reading.

I will raise her tonight to 1.25, I feel like my brain stopped working.

Hi. I’m glad Dolly is still eating well. With SLGS you hold the dose for a week and then do a curve. This is just the 4th day.

Are you following SLGS or TR?

Your ss says SLGS do you should not increase.

What about the high nadir’s. This is where I get confused. Does this mean the nadir of the curve? Sorry to sound so stupid.

SLGS. I got it now. I had it before and lost it. Days without sleep are hitting me hard now even with sleep.

Sleep is not overrated!

That’s for sure. I know I shouldn’t bother you with a chat but I just have to say, even at my age, when you have to stay awake for an emergency, I’ve had many with my husband and our cats, you suddenly become alert and awake for however long. It’s afterwords, like a hangover, that you pay the price. Can’t wait to feel like me again.

I can relate. And you are not bothering me.
