Good morning!

So I have realized that we've been on .25U for quite a while at this point. We did have a 33 a few days ago and few readings in the 40's within the past weekish. His AMPS's are usually pretty high still (for him). It looks like we're bouncing around a lot, which isn't super normal. Any thoughts on his dosing? Should I just keep it at .25U?

I can't give dosing advice. I'm here to offer support. He looks really good, Betsy. I wish Susie had his consistency with numbers. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Love his cute face.
 
A drop into the 30s usually warrants an immediate .25 unit reduction, leaving you not very much room to go. How about a reduction to .1 to see how Squeaks does? I know you've been there before. He needs insulin, but he also needs to be safe. Hopefully somebody else with more experience can chime in here.
 
I agree with Katherine. That 33 definitely screams reduction. I'd try 0.1 units for a bit and see how he does. Are you using calipers? If 0.1 unit doesn't work - hard to say if that will happen, a cat's insulin needs changes - calipers might help you get an in between dose that works.
 
@Wendy&Neko, I didn't get an email that I had comments on here and I completely forgot to check back in--so I'm just seeing this now. :arghh:
Looking at his numbers, do you think I should still try a reduction to .1U? Forgive my ignorance, but what are calipers?
 
Thank you for the info!! Ok, that sounds like a plan, will definitely I try the decrease if/when we see that again.
