? May 13, Sinatra, 16 cycles, enough curve? Can we increase? help

[Gabrielle H.]

I'm trying to be careful and ask my question appropriately. Honestly - I'm unsure if we can flat out ask for help with dosing or if we need to just ask for "suggestions"? Can ya'll let me know so I don't worry I'm doing it wrong.

Having said all that - I feel like there is enough data there now...should I increase him to 1.5 units 2x day? If not now, when? Seems like his mid cycle numbers are generally in the 300's. Goes up at +9. I've read about depot and nadir and my head is spinning. Thanks....

Yes you can ask for dosing advice.
Have you looked at the two dosing methods? If not have a look and choose one of them. Put the method into your signature and the top of the SS so we can see?..thanks
Here is the link to the methods https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-low-go-slow-slgs-tight-regulation-tr.210110/

Are you giving snacks during the first half of all the cycles as well as the preshot meals?
Are you testing for ketones oil the urine? If not I would recommend you get a bottle of Ketostix from Walmart or a pharmacy and test the urine as per the instructions on the bottle.
Yes I think you can increase the dose. But I would only increase it to 1.25 units.
Do you have 1/2 unit syringes?

I think you could go up, but I'd only go up to 1.25 (which is why we need to know if you have syringes with half unit marks)

You have to eyeball in between the 1.0 and 1.5 lines
