Good evening!!
Day one on the new dose, 4.4 units. I thought her numbers ran slightly higher today which was the opposite of what I would expect. I didn't expect any change yet but she seemed just a tad higher than normal. We'll see how it goes over the next few days. I will hold longer than 3 cycles because I won't be able to test much mid day tomorrow and Thursday but I will be able to get numbers Friday and Saturday and go up if no improvement. Of course I'll reach out for your feedback based on her SS.

Keep up the ketone testing because of these high numbers. We'd say increase after 3 cycles if a dose isn't giving a positive response. The longer she sits in high numbers, the harder it can be to get her down. Glucose toxicity can set in which makes the cells less responsive to insulin. The way through that is regular, careful increases until you reach a sort of "breakthrough" dose.

Thank you! Will do. Certainly don't want that. I will post once I make a change and won't wait too long, I'll give it 3 cycles no longer. Thank you, thank you :bighug:

Yes, keep posting here. Someone will help. You have U100 syringes so stick to increases of 0.2 u at a time because you'll be increasing often at first. This might not be what your vet would recommend but this is tried and true among the many FD kitty owners here. This will take time but you will get Beenie to a better place. :)
