Re: 2/10 Blackie AMPS-331,+3.5+324,+8-403
Hi.. I'm a high dose mom, and I see you're high dosing in here too. I have an acrocat. That's him in my avatar pic. He gets 30u Levemir BID. Took us a long time to get here, and we've actually been as high as 40u BID. I don't have any money either, I got laid off 2 weeks after I adopted Leo, so I know how it feels. (((hugs)))
I've been studying your SS on and off all day trying to make sense of what is happening. I know you're frustrated, but I think you should go only .25u. I have been debating whether that was a good idea or if he should be held another couple cycles because I am wondering if this is the "high before the break" we're seeing. Since it might be the high before the break, I think .25u might be a safer bet for you. You've got recent blues which say you could be in trouble if you go .5u and he breaks tomorrow morning or something. One of my good friends used to say "You can't squeeze that insulin back out!"
As far as tests go, I don't see classic acro in your numbers, but IAA might be in play. The closest spreadsheet to yours that I can recollect is Jan/Buddy. She's got an IAA kitty. If you've got IAA on your hands, here's the treatment: shoot insulin. IAA is a temporary thing, not a permanent condition. I'd like to review this ss for the next couple days and see if we can step up your pace a bit, and start increasing more frequently. I will warn you, it's possible we may not be able to, but if we can, I'll help you. :smile:
Hang in there, I know it's frustrating as hell.
