Guidance and reassurance please

[Steven Oreos Dad]

Steven, with Levemir, you may find that the cycles aren't going to be the same as what caregivers find with their kitties on Lantus. For most kitties on Levemir, onset often happens a little later and the nadir can also be later than +6, to where you may get it at preshot or just before. There are times when you can get a bit more action earlier in the cycle, sometimes due to the previous dose carryover. On Lev my kitty sometimes has had nadirs at +14-15 in the past. I'd be watching for those cycles particularly like on August 12th where Oreo tested 78 at PMPS, but no further tests happened.

I agree that you should hold the 0.75u until you get a better idea of how Levemir is working for Oreo. I also think you may benefit from breaking up Oreo's daily meals so that you feed some snacks during the cycle rather than feeding all of his food just at am and pm with shot.

I put .9 because I know I was near .75 and definitely less than 1u….. I figured I’ll note .9 and if the numbers go nuts we will know idk. I noted that I need to test more. I’m working from home fortunately but I’m monitored. I can’t just step away 10-15 mins to find him/lock the other 4 cats away (they are so cute they all rally around him making sure he’s ok) Is not that I’m not listening as mentioned prior. I’m going to get a “third hand magnifier at harbor freight today. That will help me. Anyway. I’m moving over to the other thread.

With such low dose make sure you look at where the Zero mark is when the plunder is fully depressed. I have had ones where the Zero mark would be 1/2 unit of insulin.
