Good morning
Enjoy the day!
Tansi is coming home in a few hours. We are beyond happy!
Pancreatitis seems to be improving and coming home with the right meds as far as I can tell.
Now I am afraid I will need a lot of guidance with dosing.
First, here is what they did in hospital. Since Tansi was running between 7 and 10 on pet meter, they skipped 3 doses. This morning, he showed a 10.2 so they gave him 1 unit of lantus at +1.75 .
Here is the dosing advice I received from the internal medicine specialist.
1. Tansi is likely in remission with his near normal readings with no insulin.
2. Don't worry at all about testing for ketones. This only happens at above 30 bg.
3. Try not to give insulin, unless "he really needs it." With his low numbers giving insulin will probably lead to a hypoglycemic event.
4. Try giving him insulin only once a day instead of twice a day.
Obviously I am completely flabbergasted!!!!!
So, he would have been normally getting his dose 8 hours from now.
I am going to stay with him constantly for the next couple days, so no problem testing very frequently.
What should I dose, and when??
Any thoughts appreciated and so very grateful .
