12/19 Jade amps 260 +3= 452 pmps 446

I'm going to give Jade a curve on Wednesday just so I can give it to her vet but plan on upping her to 1U on Wednesday, unless I'm advised not to. She's just still too high in the #'s on the .75 U and Wednesday will be her one week mark on that dose. I really don't want to curve her but I also don't want to tell her vet that I've been following the SLGS protocol either as it irks her to the point of not wanting me as a client when I say anything about this board and going against her instructions which have always been 1U, twice a day and no testing. Should I just make up curve numbers? I hate to have to test Jade every two hours and risk stressing her out and bringing on a cystitis episode when I already know what I'm planning on doing.
 
I don’t think you need a curve. That’s for people who do SLGS and only test once or twice a day. You test enough to clearly show she needs the increase.

I don’t think I need one either. But, my vet wants one. She does not know ( or approve of) me following the advice and info I get here.

I thought about keeping two spreadsheets at first but my vet was behind me 100%.

I considered that also. It really bums me out. I hate being dishonest. But, while I have complete faith In her in most instances, I feel like in THIS instance, Jade is better here. And that is definitely not ok with my vet. She thinks that the very notion of a nadir is outdated and irrelevant. That quarter dosing is unheard of and testing is completely unnecessary unless it’s for a curve.
 
Wow! If we followed your vet’s thinking Macho would have gone hypo tonight and be in the ER fighting for his life. My vet is a board certified diplomat of internal medicine and he taught me about nadir and got me to test. I was afraid Max would hide from me all the time. Just read the professional writings on fd and you will see your vet is so wrong. I would not be able to have her as my vet.

I know. Had I not happened to have woken up and caught Jades 67 awhile back, I don’t know that Jade would be with me today. In home vets are almost impossible to find here.
I’m glad you have a vet that you feel so confident with! I really wish that Jade traveled well and going to the vets office wasn’t so traumatizing for her.
