Hoping he perseveres today...he just started onset- maybe he will go will the flow and not fight the insulin today. Paws crossed. o_O
 
@Sandy and Black Kitty any advice on keeping this dose for the 8-10 cycles? Since he is "new" to numbers under 200?
  • if your cat is new to numbers under 200, it is recommended to hold the dose for at least 8-10 cycles before increasing
It seems to me it was more the R doing the job of getting him below 200 than the 15U. Should I stay put and see what his +8 gives me? If he's above 300 - should I give him 1.5R at +8 OR just ride this cycle out and see where he lands at PMPS?

He seeems to be rising quickly - going to give him 1.5R (@+8)....hoping it brings him down but not as much as the 2 did. Paws crossed.

Since you are using R, it is hard to follow the TR protocol exactly since some lower #s are due to the R interacting with the Lantus and not just relying solely on the Lantus. But, I think many would argue to stick to the TR protocol no matter what.
 
I wish I had dosing advise:bookworm: but I know nothing about R.
Just cheering you on Jimmy

Hmm...I am expecting the Levemir to arrive tomorrow and plan to start it on Wed. Just wondering if I increase just one day and then decrease on Wed how much I'll be screwing with his BG. On the upside - the 1.5 R at +8 helped him from shooting to the moon without too much of a large drop.

Well, you do have R to control any high numbers you might get when lowering the dosage. I only lowered from 7.5 to 7 when I switched and went right back up to 7.5 after I saw Lev wasn't causing any abnormal low numbers.

With just 3 cycles remaining before you switch to Lev, I'm leaning toward holding at 15 until the transition.
You have R to deal with any undesirable numbers

That's what I'm leaning toward. He seemed to respond well to the 1.5R at +8...just trying to keep him below renal threshold. It really makes a difference in his physical well being (less urination, less hungry, more alert, etc.).
 
The normal switch from Lantus to Lev is starting Lev at 70% of the Lantus dose. Bronx had barely been seeing any yellows at the time of switch so it was safer to start higher.
