? 9/17/20, Tiger, amps 83, +8 59

[Wendy Jones]

Tiger has been averaging 58-80 for a while now. You'll notice on his spreadsheet I dropped him more than I should have from 2.5 units to 1.5 after only a day but that 53 he got scared me. Scared that could be more like 42 on the lower end of the meter variance. So I dropped him to 1.5 and he's been there for 3 days and still getting 50's at nadir. If he continues to stay in this range how many days do I leave him at a dose before reducing it again? Will I continue to reduce it by .25 until his numbers start going back up so I know where to leave him?

What a change in Tiger! He's become regulated. With SLGS, anytime he goes below 90, you reduce the dose by 0.25 units. You should shoot 1.25 units tonight.

I know! I'm so proud of him. It's like he got in normal range and just decided to stay. Lol. Is that a daily decrease like if his numbers are the same tomorrow if dectease again? I thought they needed a few days to adjust to a new dose before you saw the difference it will make

I might switch to TR. I think I can do it. I get up once at night to check him now anyway

 

[Wendy&Neko]

SLGS says to reduce immediately if you see an under 90. TR lets you stay on a dose until under 50 (for a newly diagnosed cat), or a week in green numbers. And with TR there is the concept of not taking back to back reductions, not in SLGS.

How much longer do you hold a dose on TR?

 

[Wendy Jones]

I don't want him going below 50 so that doesn't make sense to me not to reduce unless he gets hypo

Very nice numbers! Keep up the great work.

Hope to see a pic of your kitty soon

A week in normal blood sugar numbers (essentially all green) also earn a reduction. If his numbers creep up, you don't hold the dose as long as SLGS.

Ok. So a day under 90 on slgs and a week in normal or a day under 50 with TR. Thank you
