You know your stuff James!Glad to have you and Buttons here.
Last night. . 9:00. Hi. Then shot. 1 1/2 prozinc. 11:00 498. 1:00 461. 3:30 441.You know your stuff James!
Ahhh. Thank you. Was wondering wher the time was. I will get in it.Aw, was hoping for lower numbers - at least we're seeing a dip though!
James if you can take some time today and fill in all the test data you have accumulated we can start seeing what dose is going to be right for Buttons.
Your AMPS is the test number right before insulin
+1 is one hour after shot time
+2 is two hours after shot time
Etc.
PMPS is the test number right before evening insulin
U is number of units given at that time
Any data is good data! I think it will be helpful if you put in any important notes in the Remarks column on the far right - such as if you gave Vetsulin instead of Prozinc that day, or was told to give insulin at +6 (that's when the vet had you double dose him).
Will do.
Ok I’ll do that. Thank you. Here’s today’s news. Let me know if you think it’s going to fast.
When I was testing him constantly. It was around 6-8 hours if I remember correctly. Got to where I only tested him before his shot. Most time he’d be around high 200s low to middle 300s before shot and food.
342 at 2:24. Going’s to the vet now. HE keeps looking around with wide eyes and crying. Did it this morning also. Checked him instantly. Wasn’t too low. Not sure what’s up. He’s constipated and looks bloated. Gonna take him in.What a cute FACE!! He looks so cuddley!
How's his BG?
Hi. It’s not his diabetes. Poor old guy is failing in many ways. I’ll come back and let you of know the car entails. Just gonna snuggle him for a bit.Good, like seeing better numbers. Let us know how the visit goes, hope he's okay.
Little guy has cancer.
.Thank you. It’s not gonna take him away yet. We are gonna treat him some holistic ways. Have done it before. The issues it’s causing at the moment we are gonna treat. No operations or Kemo. In my experience that only tortures old cats. They barely make it past healing from the operation. But. Good news. It was bad insulin. The new insulin is working great. To great. Vet had him on more than he needed. Was at an 99 this morning. 20 mins later at an 80. Been through it before. Fed him some food with syrup. Slowly rose all day. He slept peacefully. Its now 9 hours later and he’s at 183. Vet wants me to lower dose obviously. I’m thinking if he isn’t in the hi numbers I’ll give him no shot at all. And test in the morning. You’ve been so helpful I felt comfy asking you about that. Thanks for all the support. Oh yeah. Vet had had me giving him 2 units morning and night the last two days. Too much.I'm so sorry James. Buttons and you are going through a lot.
Thank you. He was well regulated on 1 in the morning. 1 at night. Even seems I shouldn’t start lowering that. Didn’t even think about freezing the insulin on accident. Used it after for weeks and weeks. Hopefully we can keep them levels good and it’s will make the rest way easier.I agree. I've never had a pet with cancer (knock on wood) but unless there's a high success rate with no quality of life lost after I wouldn't want to put any of them through chemo.
In other news that is excellent to hear! I'm glad you lowered the dose after that. Looks like you need some fine-tuning but you'll get there. As long as you're checking ketones when you skip I think you're good.
