Good afternoon LL and
Zeke's previous condo http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/4-11-zeke-amps-110-2-25-105-3-72.117060/
Well looks like Mr Zeke was trending upwards so I fattened his dose a bit last night. Didn't really seem to make any difference to his PS number this morning however. Seven days on 0.1u and doing really well and then on day eight, preshots started getting yucky. So back up we go again.
We’re still feeding him only 4%. Had been giving him some salmon treats but gosh now I think I’m gonna eliminate them. They shouldn’t be affecting his BGs but that’s about the only thing that has changed in the last week.
I’m curious. If it takes the insulin about three hours to kick in, why is it that sometimes Zeke’s BGs drop by +1? What’s very ironic is that often times we find that when Zeke has a lower PS number his BG rises at +1 but when his starting point is higher it tends to drop by +1. We’re feeding him exactly the same meal in either case.
Last weekend we tried a snack but it appeared that the snack made his PSBG rise. Since he was making such nice progress earlier this week, my thought had been that I would try the snack again this weekend. Unfortunately, Friday morning the yucky numbers started and I decided to wait to see if he’s numbers would settle back down before adding a snack to the mix. Unfortunately they did not. Hopefully, this fat 0.1u will get him back on track.
When I saw Zeke PS this morning, I had actually thought that perhaps I should go back up to 0.25u but with the 47 this morning I guess I just have to throw on the patience pants and see what Zeke can do with this dose. I know dosing decisions are based on nadirs but Zeke's nadirs are fine, it's the rising preshots that are my cause for concern and so for now are dictating my next move. Paws and fingers crossed this was the right move right now.
Here's a recap of what’s been going on with Zeke. Any advice greatly appreciated.
