Hello friends -
I know we're not very good about being around much, but I do check in occasionally on everyone and offer my thoughts. Tomorrow is officially one year since we switched to Levemir, after "swimming in a sea of pinks" for most of the previous 5 months. A LOT has happened since then: the switch, his one and only time boarding, several business trips, his trip to Colorado State University for SRT to zap his pituitary tumor that causes Acromegaly, climbing the dosing ladder (acro's are guzzlers), flying to Grandma's at Christmas, coming down the dosing ladder a little way, and now - several days of his best numbers ever! :mrgreen:
On Sunday I posted that I was sick of these crazy weeks of bad numbers (interspursed with good weeks, that is). So I check him and get a 341 :shock: I had to be aggressive... so I gave him 2uR - although normally it takes him 3uR to see a move. Well, it moved him alright! He's not been over 200 since Sunday at noon! Even got to have himself a little bit of 20% carb GRAVY food a couple of times! He likes gravy! ;-)
Along with the lower numbers, has been lower doses, and lower appetite. No poop issues this time, just less intake; therefore less output. And he's not scavenging to get every crumb that hits the floor, or everyone elses' food. (although he'd still sell me for a bowl of Kitt-N-Kaboodle! - some things NEVER change!) He's still catching a chair before he jumps to the table - he's filled out his little 22 pound suit again. No more anorexic looking 12 pounder lately!
So the report is good. Good numbers, better dosing (after 45 weeks we're seeing SRT results - they said as many as 70 weeks to see a significant change), better overall ... and the Ps are back! I couldn't have gotten to this point without all the help from here and the Acro folks. Thank you all - and hang on for the ride - it's not over just yet!
