Peeka Dosing advice

[Peter (Boo) (Peeka GA)]

Hey, curious if I could get some feedback regarding Peekas dosage and if it warrants an increase. I’m fairly confident a .25u is in order, just would like some expert opinions on the matter.

Appreciate the feedback!

@Deb & Wink or @Panic -

Is there any chance one of you could have a look at Peeka's spreadsheet and give some suggestions to Peter on dosing, please?

Thanks Mogs!

You might also want to post on the Vetsulin forum Peter. Each insulin has its own forum with members who use it and can offer dosing advice

Will do, just posted on here because the last time I posted on that one, I didn’t get any responses lol.

Well, went ahead with the 2.25u. I’ll be home to monitor tonight and see how we get on.

As long as you will be there this should give big answers. I agree with your decision good or bad.

The Vetsulin forum is basically only checked by Deb and I anyway.

I think the increase was called for, Peter. We want to see some lower blues anyway on Vetsulin if possible.

That assurance means a lot! Felt weird taking matters into my own hands, but based on conversations over the last few days and the numbers we have been getting, it felt like the right choice.

Yes - and remember, you did drop her dose when switching from low-carb. It's always possible the dose was dropped more than she needed (better safe than sorry!) and you just need to work your way back to what is right for her. If it's been a few days (SLGS has you increasing after 7 days) and you're not hitting any numbers under 150 you want to increase. That said, you want to make sure you're testing around her nadir too, to know if she is dropping low enough.

Understood, just want to keep Peeks safe, especially during the morning time when I can’t test. I think we’re starting to see her nadir anywhere from +3-+4, so those will be the crucial times to test for me tonight to see where we are.

HIGH FIVE PETER!

 

[Peter (Boo) (Peeka GA)]

I shall keep you all posted on her levels. Hoping for some numbers below 150, but higher than 100!

I probably wont see till morning need to start dinner and all that stuff.

GOOD LUCK and please give little Peeka some scritches from me.

+2 update: 255
+3 238

 

[Peter (Boo) (Peeka GA)]

Final update for the night, +4 was 255. Hoping her numbers don’t get too high tonight, but we will cross that bridge in the morning.
