December 3, 2018 Condo - 27 Days Post Dental - Failed Reduction

Good morning all,
Yesterday definitely showed that Lou failed his recent reduction. He's back up to 3.0u this morning. I'm bummed, but I'd rather him be in better numbers than at a lower dose. His levemir has shipped and is tentatively expected to arrive on Thursday. I sincerely hope it does and it's not delayed too long in Canada's postal backlog. I was originally going to wait until I had some more days in a row to switch him over, but I think I may just switch the first weekend after arrival so I'll have at least 4 full cycles to watch him closely.

My heart goes out to @LizzieInTexas this morning. Hug your kitties close folks and give them scritches or boops for me. I hope you all have a wonderful day and your kitties stay safe out there. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Good luck with the dosecrease. Sometimes you have to go up before you can go down. I hope you get the Levemir quickly. Don't forget to ask for dose advice a couple of cycles before you start the Lev.
 
Just remember you will start at a lower dose. When the time comes ask for thoughts on what to start with. It is more potent than lantus and you could see a quick initial drop in glucose before the depot of lantus is gone and the lev built up.
 
Hope you get the Levemir soon! Ravan took nearly a month before his BG started getting good! It takes a while for their body to adjust. ( You can take a look at Ravan's SS when I switched to Levemir)

I think the Levemir stays in the body a bit longer than Lantus. I did a few reductions too quickly. The depot was still affecting his BG. I should have waited. Every cat is Different!

Best Of Luck on the Levemir! :)
