Re: 3/29 Chuck 215 AMPS; 118 +2.5; 132 +7
I was afraid he'd "crash" again, but his +7 looks pretty good...
Since he's all over the place, I was wondering if stopping insulin completely for a couple of weeks, and then starting up again with the 0.10 U would do us any good. I was updating his notebook today, and noticed that in January, without insulin, he was pretty stable, even though his numbers were in the 300's. Stopping and restarting would be like wiping the slate clean.
I'm also contacting the vet to talk about blood tests for kidney functions (although those have been good for his age), and possibly urinalysis to rule out the UTI completely. I keep thinking SOMETHING is causing these extremely high and low numbers; he was on 4 different antibiotics for the UTI -- is it possible it never really cleared up and is just lurking there in the background, messing with his numbers? He doesn't show any signs as far as straining or blood in the urine, but he never did.
