Re: 6/24 Tidus AMPS 219

Jenn sent me a PM based on my post yesterday that I'm answering in her condo:

I think it's your call. You certainly have room to increase. The protocol will let you hold the dose for 10 cycles with those lovely blue nadirs.

I keep comparing his SS with Mikey's and MIkey was much different. He was green/pink, yellow/blue, green/red. Is it possible for him to go green without increasing? He seems so "steady" in the blue/yellows?

Well, ECID and given that you have 2 SSs to compare to, it does make the point!! My best guess is that I doubt that the numbers will go down all by themselves. Remember, the point of increasing the insulin is to get Tidus into a normal BG range so his pancreas has the best chance of healing. While the numbers aren't bad, they are still above normal range. Also, the longer any cat spends in a range that's above normal, the more their body acclimates to that range making it harder to get the numbers to come down.

makes more sense with that explanation, thanks!

If there is no drastic change today I will plan to increase tonight, which would bring his dose to 1.25u.

I think he ate some HC today. I've decided to find a new way to transition my now 1 remaining to wet food. I was using the HC with the hopes that he would eventually eat the LC wet but after 4 months with no luck it's become more dangerous to have the HC food here with Tidus. Mikey is not a jumper so I didn't have to worry with just him.

Would a fever cause increased BG?

I noticed that with the increased BG he is also very "out of it".
