12/16 Webster- Positive ketones - Dosing advice

[julie & punkin (ga)]

I gave punkin fluids while he ate his second dinner at +3. You want to avoid giving them in the same time and vicinity as the insulin.

If we got everything ready before putting down punkin 's food dish, we could get through it before he got done. He ate super fast too. Watered the food so it lasts longer.

Do you understand the strategy that Jill and Marje described with increasing the dose and using whatever carb food needed to keep his blood sugar from bottoming out?

Start with two people. Be sure he understands this is good for him and you control when he's done.

Thanks, I'm looking further into giving fluids now.

As of right now, I'm able to get him to inhale water when I mix it with a little food. Hes drinking every drop when I do this.

I'm sort of getting what they were saying. Sorry today has been complete information overload for me.

So basically I need to be concerned with getting him enough insulin to drop him down and bring him back up with food (LC,MC,HC, whatever it takes) if he gets too low?

What do you think about tonight's numbers? After hanging out in the high numbers for several days he suprised me with tonights quick drop off. What do you think? Insulin depot is building up?

After seeing tonights drop I'm now hesitant about raising his dose in the morning.. :-|

Thank you Marje.

A little more BG information before amps may help make it clearer about what to do with tomorrow morning's dose.

Can you get another ketone test before then as well, please?

Hi there

I neglected to ask earlier - how is Webster? All Ps in place? Appetite good?

Sorry, I went to bed last night and put my wife in the pilots seat. Will test ketones shortly.

Hi Sandy. Webster's 5 P's are better than ever! Judging from his appearance, you would never know anything was going on.
