9/16 Loki AMPS 320 +2 300 +3 250 +4 200 +5 191 +6 148

Decent day - don't want to increase insulin yet think this is a resolving bounce.

 

Very nice day indeed.

Since you're following the SLGS dosing method, an increase would not be in order until after 7 days.

From the dosing method:
https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-low-go-slow-slgs-tight-regulation-tr.210110/
Hold the dose for at least a week:

• Unless your cat won’t eat or you suspect hypoglycemia
• Unless your kitty falls below 90 mg/dL (5 mmol/L). If kitty falls below 90 mg/dL (5 mmol/L) decrease the dose by 0.25 unit immediately.

After 1 week at a given dose perform a 12 hour curve, testing every 2 hours OR perform an 18 hour curve, testing every 3 hours. Note: Random spot checks are often helpful to "fill in the blanks" on kitty's spreadsheet. The goal is to learn how low the current dose is dropping kitty prior to making dose adjustments.

• If nadirs are more than 150 mg/dl (8.3 mmol/L), increase the dose by 0.25 unit
• If nadirs are between 90 (5 mmol/L) and 149 mg/dl (8.2 mmol/L), maintain the same dose
• If nadirs are below 90 mg/dl (5mmol/L), decrease the dose by 0.25 unit

I do hope you can wean Loki off the dry food soon...

Have a great evening!

 

Thank you!!

 

and earlier at night?

 

Would you mind putting your questions in the same condo?

We're only allowed one condo in this forum per day...

 

What is a condo? is that a post? Sorry not meaning to be daft..

 

nadir and pre shot are pretty much the same thing for kit.

 

Hi Amethyst usually is a Late Nadir Kitty I have to always test her twice before each shot because of this

 

Ah, sorry...it's what we call the post/thread/condo that we each post to the forum each day.

I cannot find the comment about 'one condo' per day...I'll see if I can...but this is very helpful information too...

 

Ok - glad its not just me!

 

Thanks!!

 

Nova is too.

 

Sue, it's in Making the Most of your Lantus, Basalgar, Levemir ISG Experience

 

When a cat is breaking a bounce, the nadir is often later too. Neko liked to nadir late too. It means you have to get used to shooting lower.
