Cadmium's BG (crosspost) Trace Ketones Detected.

Looking at his spreadsheet, it looks like after he has completed 14 cycles on this dose (per SLGS) he will be ready for a .25 increase (assuming things stay as they have been with no surprises.). Now, since he does have a history of DKA, if the ketones are creeping up, perhaps you can go ahead with it in the morning.

What is the Gentizol for? Is this an ointment/cream? You said topical.

He has a history of having yeast infections in his ears, and I have been told to keep a tube and give him some whenever he shows signs of irritation to help his immune system out. It is an antibiotic + antifungal ointment, but one of the ingredients is a topical steroid for inflammation.

He hasn't had positive ketones in a while and no history of DKA as he has only had trace values, his elevated sugars might have been due to the toothpaste having dextrose too. I was contemplating maybe trying a 0.75F dose tonight.
 
I also realized that he may have had trace ketones due to improper insulin preparation (not rolling the vial every time) and the fact that I was accidentally underfeeding him. Confirmed this with a food calculator for pets, he is supposed to be getting 3 cans (what he is getting now) while at that point he was only getting 2.
He also just got into the box and provided me opportunity to test for ketones, negative still :)

Well, you will have the opportunity to test and find out of Gentizol affects his BG or not. I hope it helps his ears.
