4/17/22 Buddy AMPS 115, +4 66 +5 102

Since you and your vet got the same bg numbers you dint need her to do another curve. You have real time numbers from every day. The only thing I disagree with is that we would evaluate the dose in a week instead of two unless he is low enough for a reduction sooner.

I think you should change your method to custom by vet because with our SLGS he has earned a reduction to .25 because his bg has been under 90.

Hi Tiffmaxee, Thank you for your input!
@Bandit's Mom recommended to keep him on .5 for now but maybe that has changed. He hit the lowest number I have seen so far today. Do you think I should start the reduction to .25 tonight or wait another week?
 
If you continue with SLGS I would decrease. If you want to try TR, I would hold the .50. You test enough for TR so if he were my cat I would try it. Yesterday the depot was in play so I see why she said to not reduce although technically if following SLGS he earned a reduction.
 
I would like to stick with slgs. I’m reducing tonight to .25. thank you!!
If he hits below 90 tonight does he get reduced to 0 and if so how many cycles would you wait to do that?

Hi Patty, just to clarify, I had suggested you not reduce again on the night of 4/14 because it would have been too many back-to-back reductions all at once. It had been only 3 cycles on 0.75U and 2 cycles on 0.5U and the depot would not have adjusted/caught up. A cats insulin needs can and do change which is why we evaluate the dose every week with SLGS - sooner if they earn a reduction.

Congrats on another reduction. Buddy is looking great :-)
