Trying out 1.5u now, after a really good run on 1.25u. I can't understand how a dose can call for a reduction one day pm cycle 21-Jul, then we go wonky. I held out thinking I missed something later cycle, or fed higher carbs to fend off a big bounce/drop here and there, but then realized we needed more juice. Since increasing, we seem stuck in weird cycles. Just really checking in, I'll try and get the world SS updated, sorry about that for my US friends. I've kind of settled a bit, thinking nothing I have been doing makes much difference, after a year in diagnosis, we couldn't really celebrate much improvement.
BUT: Mav is still playful with his spongy ball, happy purrs all the time, cuddles with me, I'm so happy for these moments, just can't quite get a good balance going with his numbers on a regular basis.
Sill looking into Levemir, but that's been it's own problem in sourcing without a prescription, though it shouldn't be. I'll need to run some numbers for the vet, using AT2, but my last order from Amazon was held up by Cdn customs
, finally released at least not confiscated. Yup, all good here

Great report on how he's feeling, that's very important.
, I've gone to three different pharmacies they each told me I can't get it without a prescription, even though I mentioned I thought I didn't need one. Their comment was consistently that for a cat, they need one, and one pharmacy actually said it's against their code of practice to refill the insulin without another script which is what I've been doing with Lantus. So weird. I guess I could try and walk in at another, and not tell them it's for a cat, but they'd be taking my info to enter into their system...and i don't want to be dishonest. It may be easier just to take Mav in for a recheck and try and see if I can get the script. Or, maybe Levemir isn't a good choice for us anyway, I don't know if I want those potential late nadirs and low preshots. I'm just feeling a bit done trying to over analyze every little trend in numbers, carb counts, etc. It only works for a few days then we go back to whatever weird jump to numbers and work our way back to something that is somewhat better, but only lasts for a short time. I just didn't expect this to be where we are at a year later, and it's really frustrating.
