Lando is on .25u of Lantus. His calorie intake is a bit lower than normal. Is dipping below 65 normal! It is making me concerned that he is way too insulin sensitive!
 
As for tonight, you will be shooting 0.1u of insulin. It looks like this:

Please feed Lando some medium or high carb food to bump up his numbers. And yes, a drop like that is possible.

Yup gave him a bit of med carb food! And roger that (.1 u) thanks for the response!
I guess my followup question is… is this just a bouncey reaction to insulin? The magical thinking part of me wants to make sure its not because he DOESNT NEED insulin anymore!

I certainly don’t have the experience to offer advice, but just to show you aren’t alone, my guy hit lime green on .1 unit. In our case, we’re hoping for an OTJ trial soon, because we’ve been steadily decreasing. Even on a drop, he swings down into low greens. Hopefully Lando’s pancreas is waking up!

I took a look at oscars spreadsheet and its interesting. Seems a bit similar. Started off on a higher dose, had some bouts of not eating ( tho with lando it was a pancreatitis attack). Then very sensitive to low levels of insulin. Im happy you popped up Andrea. Oscars “story” is great to see

I definitely saw some similarities too :) Oscar doesn’t seem to show the normal clinical signs of pancreatitis, but his vet thinks maybe IBD? I don’t know. It flairs every now and then, but for the most part, he’s constantly ravenous. Hopefully Lando’s numbers keep going down. Though steadily! Not scary.
