Re: Cassie 11/26-27

Pmps 339, .1u (+12)

And then pink. Sigh. They missed a mid-afternoon snack today (oops); wonder if that's the problem? 1/4 can friskees.
 
Re: Cassie 11/26-27

Hmm...strong possibility 1 or both shots today were .25u levemir rather than .1u prozinc. I take lrvemir myself, and tonight I found the bottle on Cassie's side of the shelf. No way to know for sure but if today & tonight's cycles are funky, one possibility. Knew it would happen eventually...at least I didn't shoot myself with prozinc! :oops:
 
Re: Cassie 11/26-27

+6 288
amps 279, .1u (+12)

So maybe missing the snack yesterday did raise his bs.

that would definitely make the numbers wonky I would figure. Prozinc is a human insulin though, so it shouldn't mess you up too much. It's designed for cats, but derived from humans (recumbent human DNA) like the "L's". Now if you shot with PZI, that might screw things up...

Looks like we're going back to .2u for a while. We'll see what pmps looks like.
 
Re: Cassie 11/26-27

Not liking today at all. Did I screw up this morning by not waiting for a rising.number? Willing to take suggestions. Stick w/ .1, go back to .2, or take a day off and see what.happens? Pmps in about an hour (9 eastern).
 
I think your dose will be determined by the pmps....if your pmps comes down and shows an inverse curve, then I would stick with the .1. If it continues to climb or flattens out at pmps, then I would increase to .2.

At this point, the cycle looks flat to me....

Just my thoughts...
 
Unless you really think you gave the wrong insulin. Then chalk it up to a bad day and start over tomorrow, giving .1 another chance.

I, for one, would really like you to try no insulin for a cycle and see what happens.
 
Wrong insulin was yesterday; made sure this morning. Oh, and no ketones; got a mid-stream test rather than using an old puddle.

Today was day 3 at .1u.
 
Pmps 310 (+12)

So basically flat. Should I give .1u more time or go back to .2? He's eating now.

I'm leaning towards .1 for a few days; it usually takes 3-4 for him to settle and I screwd up the momentum yesterday.
 
Went w/ a skinny .2 (just a hair less) because I don't want him to do long surfs like he did last time on .2u. Got a new lighted magnifier-much easier to see what I'm shooting. Not ready for microdoses yet, but it's a start.
