Sunshine diagnosed on 2/1/2010. Used Vetsulin up until 3/23 with limited results. Switched to Glargine at one dose daily on 3/24 (per vet). Numbers show little change w/ dosage increases. Concerned that: need PM dose? insulin not effective for my cat? bad bottle of insulin? still filling reservoir...gas tank...what is it? oh....storage shed? I need to be more patient (and not overshoot target)?
Here are my numbers:
3/24/2010 8:00a 2.0u New Insulin - glargine
11:07a 439
4:04p 434
10:34p 431
3/25/2010 8:00a 3.0u
4:28p 451
6:57p 435
11:22p 391
3/26/2010 8:30a 3.0u
10:48a 397
3/27/2010 8:00a 3.0u
2:25p 348
3/28/2010 8:00a 4.0u
10:32a 411
2:27p 357
5:58p 427
11:13p 388
3/29/2010 8:00a 4.0u
12:42p 397
6:08p 393
3/30/2010 8:00a 4.0u
8:37a 390
1:21p 353
7:46p 370
3/31/2010 7:30a 5.0u
7:37a 426
10:44a 388
9:16p 409
11:35p 377
What do you think? Compared to what I read tonight (first time on site), the units seem higher than most. Might I be increasing too fast and not waiting for insulin to stabilize at one level before moving to next? Will get your Google.doc ss and start the color chart.
Thanks for your input,
