2/1 Lee Lu's Curve Test Results - BETTER!

[pandabur]

Good morning all,
I wanted to post Lee's curve test results for review and comments.

Update - we were feeding Friskies until 1/26/15 (so her curve test on 1/24 was on Friskies) but changed back to BFF after realizing that Friskies has rice it in (and seeing that it is 8% instead of 3% carbs). We upp'ed her dose to 1.0 same day as her curve test (knowing that she was obviously in need of more insulin). I nudged her up to 1.0 FAT for 4 cycles prior to her 2/1 curve. Note: 1.0 FAT = seeing daylight between the stopper and the 1.0 line to me, maybe that's 1.25?

Results? BAM!
+10 279
AMPS 389
+2 426
+4 330
+6 282
+8 212
+10 262
PMPS 233

AND, a PM +10 this morning of - wait for it --- 159!!!!!

So, I started her on 1.5u this morning, based on her nadir of 212. Might drop her down to 1.25 if she's dipping too low, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

she's making some progress.

I'm glad you got the +10 because that tells us she was at least blue overnight. She didn't bounce *too* fast before +12, so hopefully that means she wasn't super low overnight. Not to sound like a broken record (sorry!), but if I were you I would make sure to get at least one PM spot check before each dose increase from here on out. It doesn't have to be +6. +10 is great but try to get something earlier every now and then just so you can have a decent idea of where the dose is taking her. That way whatever dose changes you need to make, you'll be able to be confident in them. Confidence is priceless in this case.

Yay for Lee Lu! I hope she continues going down, but not too far or too fast.
