Good Saturday Morning to All!
Things went well last night in Kittyville, no near hypos and no high numbers!!!
Kitty is back to her 200 range preshots. Her amps (dosed tid) was 257 this morning-- I shot 3.5 units. She is still drinking a lot, but she seems to feel good. I have her scheduled for blood work on Monday, I am concerned over her kidneys. She has a good appetite and is showing no signs of kidney issues, other than the excessive water intake. But, due to her age, kidney disease is always a strong possibility.
Now, to Sweet Sally (dog)! Yesterday, Sally, dropped into uncomfortably low numbers. She never showed any symptoms of Hypo, but according to the charts, she was very close. I was concerned enough that I used syrup. Last night, her pmps was 388 (I think) and I shot 6 units of N. This morning, her amps was 233-- I shot 5 units. Her food intake is so varied, due to the Pancreatitis, that it is difficult to determine her carb intake. The last two mornings, her amps has been considerably lower than her pmps. I am not sure if that is due to the higher doses at night, due to the higher pmps--- or, if it is because she is not eating during the night. So, for now, I am trying to find a dose that will give us some consisitency on her amps and pmps. Today is the first time I have shot 5 units---maybe this is the dose!!! (I doubt it!!) From everything I have read, it appears she is on a very low dose of insulin--- so maybe, there is still some possibility, that the Diabetes is transient and due to the severe Ptitis. I am joining the doggy diabetes site today, to see if I can get some additional help with Sally.
It is a beautiful warm winter day in NC (63 degrees)-- a tease of spring! Sally, Kitty and I hope everyone has a Great Saturday.......
