3/3 Jasper increase followed by reduction Pmps 259 +5 315

[Aaron and Jasper]

After his increase in mid March he just never seemed to come back down towards the desirable 100 area. An increase to 1u last night was met with a lime green this afternoon (I'm glad I caught it. Gave him some lc)

Shot .75u tonight obviously.

Any thoughts on the ss?

Since Jasper has been diabetic for over a year, he would be considered a long term diabetic if you are using TR. That would mean a reduction point of 40, not 50. Some people with kitties that do not hold reductions well use the alternate reduction method of 3 times under 50 or once under 40. However, in spite of your signature saying TR, you are missing tests in a number of cycles, especially during the evenings. So either you have to add more tests, or switch dosing methods.

315 @ +5

O I didn't know about the 40, or three times under, thank you.
And yeah, a recent job threw me off hour wise but when filling it in I knew it to be unacceptable. I try to always get a mid cycle

Hello! I'm glad you caught the lime green.

With Jasper being a long-term diabetic, you need to follow TR closer and increase every 3 days if you aren't seeing any greens. However, if you are unable to get at least 2 tests per cycle, it may be better to switch to SLGS as per Wendy. I think part of what you are seeing is glucose toxicity because you are holding doses too long when they weren't giving you greens.
