Hi all,
Can someone take a look at Charlie's numbers the last couple of days and give me their opinion as to what's going on?
I started introducing raw food a couple weeks ago (the same stuff he used to eat before his diabetes), and he was doing well. His numbers were in the greens pretty much all day every day. Then a few days ago he had yet another constipation/pancreatitis flare/GI episode.
He got .075mg oral bupe that night and the next morning. After that second dose of bupe, he started having side effects: he was extremely skittish and jumpy, and he had weakness in his back legs that severely affected his ability to walk. These side effects lasted about 14 hours. I think clearance is longer because of his CKD. As they tapered off, he started sleeping under the bed (he almost never does this) and his BG went up to ~140-150. He was under the bed all that night and all day/night yesterday. Numbers are totally flat. It's so strange.
Any idea what's going on and if there's anything I can do about it? Did the extra dose of bupe mess him up? Stress? Or could it be lingering inflammation from the episode? So far today he has not gone under the bed and he seems to be feeling a bit better. I'm wondering if I don't see improvement in his numbers by tomorrow if I should give him an increase.
ETA: Just noting that this is the first time he's ever had more than one dose of bupe
Thanks, and I'm wishing everyone a safe and boring day.
