Happy Friday

Have all the Ps this morning, but that high 377. I wonder if some of it is a food spike... There was still food leftover from last night and Zeus had his head in the bowl when I walked into the kitchen. OR Is it the Lantus ineffective from leaving it on the counter for 5 hours? Should I try to increase the dose again? This will be 6 days on the current dose.

If anyone has suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Do I increase now or try to get the vet to write a script for the pens.

Thanks everyone. Hope you all have a great Friday.

The pen should still be good as it can be left out for up to 28 days according to the manufacturer. Refrigerated helps it last longer. :smile:

I know that doesn't help with the higher AMPS, though.

Zeus...come down from there!

Decided to go up .25 tonight to 2.5. I am a bit nervous about it... That is what the Vet Started Zeus at when he was first diagnosed, and he used to get glassy eyes. I wasn't home testing then, so I don't know what his numbers were, but when I brought him back for a curve the vet said that Zeus was a little low. That was back in May... Jump ahead to now and I really hope this brings his numbers down to a good range. Right now I would be happy if he could stay in the mid 100's... Or even under 200. I am still concerned that I damaged the Lantus when I left it out on the counter for 5 hours. How will I know if that is the case, or if Zeus is insulin resistant? Or even if we need to switch insulin? Do I need to have my patience pants adjusted? It is ok, you can tell me if that is the case ;-)

Thanks for reading my ramble. Hope everyone else is having a good cycle :smile:
