Good afternoon,
Jack's first dosage increase was 2 weeks ago. We went from 1IU 2x daily, to 1.5IU in the morning and 1IU at night. Since he has started insulin, he has been bouncing hard. from 150 range to over 600 overnight. The past few days, he has stayed between 329- 478. If you look at his Libre graph, he is now just going up and down all day instead of the long declines and long inclines that take hours.
Although his numbers are still extremely high, Is this what "normal" is supposed to look like? Does this mean his body has adjusted to the increased dose?
The vet would like to reassess every 2 weeks, so I will be reaching out to her today. Would now be the time to increase his dose again? I think we should increase his PM dose to 1.5 as well, since his numbers always seem to be high in the morning.
