Tomorrow will be one week since I started back on the sliding scale.
Baxters PS numbers have been a little more consistent, but over all I still don't see much movement in numbers.
I think it's time for some scale tweaking.
On Monday I start a job so I will be working 4 days a week. I'm actually pretty sad because now I won't be home to test Baxter or monitor him like I use to. I definitely don't want to try different doses while I'm not home. I will be a nervous wreck while I'm at work.
I going to increase I need to start very soon & have a few days of testing before I start work.

I am at a loss of how much to increase each range on Baxters scale.

Also I have a new bottle is this the time for me to open it? My vet said I wouldn't see a difference in numbers.
My vet also thinks I am not giving enough insulin. He thinks I need to give 1u or higher.

I'm open for suggestions, advice & support.

AMPS-280-.6
+9-337
 
It looks like he could use more insulin, Jenn. I am not up on sliding scales; would you just up each section by .1? I know Robin was having trouble with her computer, but you might send her a pm.
 
Im thinking the same thing about needing more. Yes a increase by .1 or .2.

Baxter has lost a lot of weight & really having problems with his back legs.
When his numbers were better all those problems went away. Now that his numbers are higher all the diabetic symptoms are back. I'm really worried about him.
 
I would leave the lower part of the scale alone, and only change what you see isn't working. I might adjust the ranges some...

226-275 .6
276-325 .8
326+ .9. ?

Hoping Robin sees this...
 
It's close to the border of the range, if 2.0 (.8) feels better?
