Re: Cassie 10/15-16 -- TID curve odd help?
Hey...just remember...it is only inverse, if it comes back down at the end of the cycle...or at least that is my understanding. If he climbs the entire cycle, that to me would indicate too little insulin. When is your midsot...I will be glad to check back and let's see if we can figure out a plan. Do you think it could have been a fur shot?
It always scares me to reduce insulin a lot in kitties that have had previous ketone issues----unless you are seeing scary nadirs.

I was thinking about the inverse curve again...you know, since with tid we shoot every 8 hours it really might be hard to know if the curve is inverse....because we shoot before it normally would have time to come down. We need to think about this!

Those look inverse to me. I would stick with .3.
It will take at least a few cycles to see results, I think. Even though you shot .3 at MDPS, there's probably still a little overlap at play so maybe Cass hasn't realized the reduction yet.
Hoping Kim is around to chime in... Or Robin, Sue, Joanna, Denise, etc. (someone besides me!).... ;-)

Good Morning!
As long as Cass is feeling ok.. Eating and no ketones, I would stick with the .3 a couple of cycles and see what you get. The early higher numbers could be residual overlap from the previos cycle. If his true nadir is late, and you are shooting at +8, you could be seeing some overlap early in your cycle.... too much insulin onboard. Let's see what the .3 does.
Have a great day!

I am glad you stuck with the .3 for another cycle, this preshot should be high enough to give us better data on the .3--- it will be interesting to see if the .3 is enough to bring the bg down. Let's see what happens!
Keep the test posted, so we can see where it is headed.

Personally, I like that the curve is going in the "right" direction.....lets see what happens the rest of the cycle. If the .3 was too short, I think you would have seen the curve stay flatter....I am happy that it was enough to move the numbers downward. You really could be dealing with some overlap...thus resulting in the lower dose.
You have about 2.5 more hours...lets hope it stays yellow.

I concur. If any overlap was the reason, then it will take a couple days at point3 to see the effect of the reduction. This cycle looks good.

I agree. Stay with the .3u for a few more cycles to see what it does.
Sorry but I've been suggesting a dose reduction since you got here.

No, this is not the first time it it was indicated. It was obvious from the beginning that he needed a lower dose, Sorry.
