I was planning on switching Mikey to Levemir on Saturday, but then I squirted too much Lantus out of his Friday PMS and didn't have enough Lantus left to give the full dose. ohmygod_smile

Michelangelo's numbers have been slightly better on the Levemir. I think the dosage might be too little? Should I increase yet?

Overall, however, Michelangelo himself has been doing much better! I used to "deal" with this issue twice a day, every day, where he'd flinch or cry from the shot and give a swipe or bite at me for hurting him. He hasn't done this once yet! :o His skin twitching and rolling has also gradually subsided and so far today, his skin hasn't rippled at all. He's also become more social all of a sudden and allows me to pet him for longer periods of time. I kept on swearing that it was the Lantus that gave him hyperesthesia and I feel like I'm starting to see evidence that I was right. It's still only three days in on this, so who knows what might happen the further we go along, but there are BIG DIFFERENCES so far, even if it's not yet reflected in his numbers.

And because I haven't had a Henry story for a while, this weekend, Henry has been in a lizard-killing mood. He caught one lizard, which my brother rescued, then he caught the lizard below, which did not do so well. Then, just a few minutes ago, he was attacking something in the grass. I investigate and it's yet another lizard. :YMSIGH:

Yay Mikey. Man he sounds like both Autumn and Musette when I made the switch. Amazing what a little tweak in insulin can do for their personalities.

I think you have a little room to increase but I would only fatten it since he is hitting high greens.
I've also found with both girls they take longer on Levemir to settle right after the switch.

I wasn't too sure if I should increase just yet, but he seems to flatline and just goes up after his evening dose till his morning dose (almost as if I were only giving him an AM shot and no PM shot). I'll see how he does tonight/tomorrow and if he's still flat overnight, I'll increase to a skinny 1.5u tomorrow morning and see if that helps things along.

And he's just chilling in a chair right now, completely relaxed. I only ever see him like that when he's in my room with the door closed. It's like he is no longer stressed about everything else going on around him. It's just such a remarkable change in such a short time that I'm now kicking myself that I didn't make the insulin switch earlier.

I'm very interested to see how this dose works on him tonight. :mrgreen:

Those are some pretty sweet greens, and I love hearing about Mikey feeling better. Woohoo! And congrats on being a basket winner!
