Hi, Shadow and I are Newbs at all this. She is a portly 15+ year old. She was diagnosed 06-07, started on Lantis and we saw the vet or the vet tech every couple days. My vet tried to talk me into hometesting, I was resistant. in denial, I think. Continued to feed dry DM and give insulin as directed to get to this point. I have done enough reading now to see how flawed my thinking was, and she in day 4 total wet food, Purina DM. She actually likes it, but not enough to eat a whole can in one day. More like half to three-quarters. Today, we are at the +6 point of our first curve. The thing is, she is getting 7 units twice daily and I see a GIANT hypo episode looming in our future. AMPS 196, +2 152, +4 118, +6 132
Am I dealing with "storage shed" issues? When I look at other spreadsheets, nobody is doing 7 units. This is worrisome to me.
If Shadow doesn't eat a whole 5.5 ounce can a day, is that problem? If her BG stays like today, can she be a free-feeding wet food eater? She likes small frequent feedings, is this to be discouraged?
I would appreciate links for more reading as I am sucking all this info up like a Hoover Deluxe.
Our spreadsheet is under construction, I am only on day 2 with it. I'll link to it once I read up on how.
I appreciate the help and attention of the FDMB.
