Hi!
Here we are again, with a whole new batch of questions. Here's our history so far:
Hi! Our Story + LOTS of questions! : ) Mon Aug 1
In danger of hypo? Wed Aug 3
So I've been testing; I'm trying to do a good thorough curve* today. I've done some more reading and research, so I have a better (but not complete!) understanding of how to interpret our results. I have a spreadsheet set up here. Our schedule** was thrown off yesterday as I had to leave town at 2pm and didn't return until 11pm. Schedule changes are one of my hugest questions and challenges, but let's take one thing at a time.
**Normal Schedule -
5-6u [AM] 6:45-7ish [PM] 5:30
My main concern at the moment is why/how did he go from 270 to 307? Shouldn't his BS be going DOWN right now? Thoughts? Interpretations? Advice?
Other questions:
- *How do you do a thorough curve? Test every 2 hours, right?
- What a curve for a normalized cat look like?
- What should BS be before insulin in a normalized cat?
- How much of a change from hour to hour or injection to injection is too drastic? It would be too drastic if I gave Sushi a big ole dose in an attempt to drop him from 342 to 120, right?
Thank you!!!
