From 3 nights of hypo to this giant swing! Please look at Tucker's SS for the big picture but a recap:
After a dangerous night, we skipped his insulin yesterday morning. After yesterday's day time blood tests showed lower average numbers than they had been (compared to the two previous days of testing), a reduced dose of 0.5 was given last night. His numbers climbed higher and higher over night. Our vet advises us to go with 1.25 units now (Friday morning here in Australia), and retest every 2 hours to track his BG today.
Now the good news : We see no signs of the hypos in Tucker. The blood test results from the vet have all come back perfect so far. He is bright eyed, cold nosed and his usual hungry self. He trills his hello's when he enters the room and has been chasing Daisy up the hallway, then she is chasing him back down the hallway since 4am...'love' wood floors...sounds like a heard of elephants!
They each ate a tin of FF Classic and a large chicken neck for breakfast ( he got a side of 1.25 units of Lantus) and are currently bathing each other. Bless
Thank you for your advice and encouragement over the last several days. It's comforting to know you are out there and care about this little naughty boy in Southern Australia.
