? 2/21 Luciole AMPS 301, +3 178, +6 149, +9 234, PMPS 457, +2 513 - not 911 but help, please & thanks!

[Lara & Luciole (Lu)]

Yesterday

Started Lu on her increase from 1.25 to 1.5 for yesterday's 2nd shot.

I wonder why she was going so high on low carb food. Is this something cats can do while adjusting to insulin, or a sign of another underlying problem?

 

[Lara & Luciole (Lu)]

I don't know how dairy might affect BG, but I gave her some yogurt at +6 and maybe (?) this pushed her up.

 

[Lara & Luciole (Lu)]

This is a very high PMPS. What is going on? When, how many cycles, before it's clear that another increase is needed?

 

[Tiger(GA) and Ruth]

It is my understanding that plain yogurt has a fair number of carbs from the sugar in milk. Greek yogurt is slightly lower. I could not say if this is the explanation for her PMPS though. How much did she get?

 

[Lara & Luciole (Lu)]

Hi @Tiger(GA) and Ruth, I gave her two teaspoons of plain, 3% yogurt.
Her going so high has me mystified. I've checked that all her food is low carb.

Thanks for your reply and the hugs!

 

[Lara & Luciole (Lu)]

Post PM 1.5u, an increase of .25 since this time yesterday, she's at 513.
Am I giving her enough insulin?
I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on.

Remember the phenomenon of New Dose Wonkiness? I'd also double check the ingredients in the yogurt. Some have sugar added.

Hi Lara, I hope Lu comes down safely! Hope you both have a great night

Thank you @Staci & Ivy and @Wendy&Neko - replies in today's thread.
