Curve done on Orion

[Airway]

I completed a curve on Orion yesterday and would like to hear your thoughts on the results. I recently reduced his insulin because he was having repeated instances of being too low to shoot. His vet recommended backing off to 1.5u.

FYI He did get 1.5u with the recent 124 and 134 PM numbers but the sheet shows 0 so the vet's office doesn't hassle me.

Orion started taking Prozac in June for a peeing on the bed problem that wasn't resolved by any other means. The great news is he hasn't peed on the bed since starting the medication. I'm also wondering if the medication might be contributing to the lower numbers. Perhaps his stress level is lower so his glucose is lower?

Does he have a lot of stress? noisy environment? kids? nervous fearful temperament?

Glad the medication has helped.
Stress does raise bg....


What time is your shot time for pm?

If it's earlier in the evening, like 6 or 7 pm.... would you be able to get a +2 at night?
That sure would be helpful.

Is he liking his testing treat? That could also help his stress level .

Flat yellow can indicate they are about to have an active cycle .
But he could also having a small bounce response to a green ( he seems to see pink after a green)

if his numbers stay in yellow...
I'd be looking at 1.75 as his dose.
You don't have to be perfect with that amount, you just want to repeat whatever you shoot with each shot thereafter.

I googled feline prozac diabetes and found something at http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Medication_warnings
that says prozac can lower blood glucose levels. I didn't see a date associated with it and you can't believe everything you read on the internet.
Prozac does show up in many posts on this forum.

The great news is he hasn't peed on the bed since starting the medication.

Interesting.

thinking that flat yellow cycle is probably because there were less skipped shots. Hopefully will see some movement today
