AMPS 397 at +13, I slept an hour past my alarm, it was a long night! Asia had a big drop early in the cycle and obviously I did not give enough Karo to slow her down. About 30 minutes before her +5 she was doing some fast breathing, which has become an occasional thing, she likely has undiagnosed heart disease. About 10 minutes before her +5 she went to her food bowl, which has a little mat in front of it to keep her from slipping on the floor, and laid down in front of the food bowl. Not something I’ve ever seen her do, so I decided to test her a few minutes early... 32!
She went from 65 to 32 in less than an hour! That’s also with a lot of food and a little bit of Karo on board! She had no symptom other than being very hungry and the unusual laying in front of the food bowl. I was able to bring her up quickly, but I didn’t feel comfortable trusting she was going to stay up so we stayed up. I’m not sure if the fast breathing was a symptom or a coincidence, but I do want to note it. I’m going to go back through my notes and see if her fast breathing corresponds to fast drops or anything like that.
In light of her recent piggy eating and she can finally surf sometimes, the unpredictable action of either surf or sudden drop, I can’t help but to suspect the insulin playing a part in this. I’ve read a bunch of threads on here about people who switch to Lev and I just can’t see a reason not to try and see if she gets smoother curves and less of this herky jerky stuff, I’m pretty fed up over it. I’ve read about humans and Lantus lows, so it sticks in my mind that indeed, some of this could be the insulin and how her body reacts to it. I’m going to ask my vet for an rx and switch as soon as possible, I’m down to the very last bit of a pen of Lantus.
