Well, this is certainly surprising. AMPS is 222. +7 last night was 158 BG. Thinking about moving down to 1U. Currently at 1.1U approx. Any thoughts?

Choices as I see it:
1.Hold stead at 1.1U?
2.Move down to .75-1U?
3.Wait one hr (as I would love to get him back on a 6AM-6PM schedule) then test and see....?

Will be home all day to observe.
 
Retested 30 mins in. Holding steady at 216. Definitely going to take advantage and get him back on 6AM-6PM schedule. Will shoot after another 30 mins.. Leaning toward a .80-1U.

Decisions...
 
Ok. I waited an hr to get him back on his 6am-6pm schedule then dosed at .8U.

Fed him 3.5oz which is the norm and he did not scarf it down. Usually he eats as if it were his last meal on Earth but he left food in his bowl. Neuropathy noticibly different. He is definitely back on his toes in the rear, although still limping. Going to continue 2 methyl B-12 pills in AM, 1 in PM.
 
It is great that you are thinking out the dose adjustments and making good choices, Lisa.

One thing that might help is not to think that a change will make a vital difference either way, but to look at it as data gathering. At this point, you can test, shoot and feed your way our of any unusual numbers so you are just figuring out how he reacts to changes.
 
Hi Lisa
Sorry I was not on this moring, I am off for a couple of days and I only wake up feed and shoot Shakes
then go back to bed..
anyway..glad you are back on schedule..
Since you are home to test, I would think that if he dosenot get good numbers today I
might bring him back up to one unit and see how Jax does there if .8 does not pan out
Keep us posted on his progress today
 
PMPS 333

Well, the .8U didn't do squat. It didn't help that Jax got into my Civvie Dooley's wet food either. He finished his and polished off Dooley's for good measure when I dozed off. He should feel stuffed. :roll:

Back to 1.1U and hoping for a good evening cycle.

I probably could have raised it to 1.2... maybe in the AM.
 
Was the food higher carb, Lisa? If so, I would call it a screwy cycle. I think I might stick with 1.1 for another cycle before increasing. The 1.5 gave you an unshootable pmps, I think. So you might want to give the any doses between 1.1 and 1.4 chances to settle in before moving up.
 
I agree with Sue, I would make small increases between 1.1 and 1.5 and hold them before moving up. It appears from your SS that 1.5 was too much and the 1.1 has given you some decent cycles. I would stick with the 1.1 for a few cycles and then only increase by .1 if needed.

Good Luck!
 
No, It wasn't a higher carb food, he just gorged himself.

Looking to see what this evening's #'s will bring. I'm thinking of 1.2U come morning.
