Really tired of all these pinks and yellows...

I moved his shot up by an hour and fattened up his dose this morning - neither helped. Frustration setting in again. Can't wait for 7 days at 2.5 units to be over so I can put him back to 2.75 for a few cycles to get his numbers back down.

I'm sorry things are so frustrating right now. I hope Rudy gives you some lower numbers soon. Remember he is more than his numbers.

I just get to a point where I feel like I'm not helping him. I feel like we've gone backwards on this dose. Very frustrating.

Hopefully, Furball is having a better cycle than Rudy.

Unfortunately that's how this dance goes. It's one step forward, one step back. Sometimes you just have to go back and forth with doses. There's a saying around here that it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Don't ever feel like you are not helping him. If you weren't treating his FD, he'd be much worse off. You're doing your best for him.

Thanks. It just gets to me. It's not his fault he has diabetes. I want him to be better already. Seeing numbers in the 300s for 3 days in a row doesn't inspire confidence or hope though.

And he's definitely a dose wobbler. He's done it twice before. If there was a failed reduction for SLGS - I'd be able to increase tomorrow morning and we'd see normal numbers before Monday. Guess it's just a waiting game for now.

I still don't understand why with SLGS, nobody can say it's a failed reduction and go back up.

However, I'm sure Rudy will eventually give you better numbers!
