Oh my goodness...this is really high. I never had it this high. It would be off the meter if I was using the AlphaTrak. I gave him food last night and I also got up at 4:45am and gave him food. This is really bad. Should his dose be 1.2 or more?
 
Re: 4/16 Merlin AMPS 522

I think I would try the 1.2u and see what happens. Merlin seems to come down from those high pre-shot numbers fairly easily. I'm guessing you may still be seeing some bounciness at work from those green numbers yesterday. What do you think?
 
Re: 4/16 Merlin AMPS 522

I'd do 1.2 also. Not sure whether this is a bounce or what....but it is one number. Let's see what happens next.

Merlin was constipated this morning but finally had a BM. You could tell that he was really uncomfortable and in pain. Afterwards he was fine. I have been adding quite a bit of water to all the cats wet food (FF Classics) so much that for Merlin, it is on the runny side. I read somewhere in this forum that maybe by adding a little Miralax might help.

Also I noticed in the past 3-4 days that maybe something is going on in his mouth. It is only for a few bites but he stops eating then he is doing this grinding thing or it looks like he is trying to get his alignment correct. I called a Wellness Clinic and they can get him for a dental check on 4/24 and a dental clean on May 19....that was the earliest.

Will do one more check at +5.

Nice slow drop. Constipation can definitely raise bg levels so we'll assume the amps was "off"
Yes, lots of people use Miralax

Do you know how much Miralax they give?

Thanks for the link on constipation. That is the thread that I read earlier and heard about Miralax. Well, we are back up to 423 and it looks like I will do 1.2U. Probably another late night of monitoring.

Good dose choice, Cindi. He really had a pretty good cycle today, if we figure the amps was partly due to constipation. Maybe if you get a before bed test and he is looking good, you can sleep?

Thanks Sue for being there. We shall see...I really wish I was a night person, on the other hand, this may make me into one!

Totally expected it to be in the green at +5. Not sure why it didn't go down. I took it twice to make sure and it was 214. GN.
