Good Afternoon all,

AMPS 296, 2nd time since Jessica on insulin back to Feb 2013. Hope it will continue.
Plan to increase the dose to 4U from 3.75U but very nervous, since I won't be home at day time!!!

I'm going to give Jessica B12 subcutaneouse injection. Will this have any impact on dosage??????????????

Please advise and wish me luck.

Thanks

I still think you have room to increase, Frankie.

The B12 injections should not impact her BG.

Come on Jessica.....lets see some better numbers!

Thanks, Marje.

Do I need to shake the bottle before I draw the B12 into syringe?
Do I need to inject air into the vial like the way we draw insulin from a vial?

Thanks

Hi Frankie - looks like Bob and Jessica's numbers are in cahoots with each other!!! Our spreadsheets look VERY similar! Bob and I will be hoping for better numbers for Jessica! Good Luck!

Hi Dara,

Yes, indeed. It's very similar but Bob seems much better control. Jessica is more erratic. I am planning to increase her dose to 4U.
I think you may increase her dose for another 0.25U.
I was told don't hold the dose for too long

The risk of holding a dose overly long, especially when the dose isn't bringing numbers into a closer to normal BG range is that glucose toxicity can develop. (The term sounds worse than it is.) What this means is that Whitey's body begins to become adjusted to higher numbers and treats them as the new normal. As a result, it's harder to get the numbers to come down. Even if you're opting to follow Start Low and Go Slow (vs. Tight Regulation), the dose needs to be evaluated every 5 - 7 days.

Good Luck
