AMPS 151. I gave almost .5 this morning. Closer to it. Hope that was okay. I will be home all day with him. He ate a full breakfast. Should I have stayed with .3? I was thinking I should take advantage of being home and testing the increased dose...but reading your post I'm worried I shouldn't have.
It’s all good - and that AMPS is a little higher than we would like to see. You can test him so he will be safe with your care.
Thank you for the reassurance! this is nerve wracking to say the least. Don't know how the medical profession handles this kind of stress on daily basis. He looks good so far.It’s all good - and that AMPS is a little higher than we would like to see. You can test him so he will be safe with your care.
^ this lol better to hold for consistency
Should say +3 is 113 NOT +2
Would be so much easier...I will have to eye-ball it. He ate some more dinner with chicken dust sprinkled in and seems to feel fine. +4 is 110.
That’s nice and level with the last test.
Yes, the U40 I'm using have the half markings, but I'm trying to give in-between the half markings and my eyes are not on board with the new plan
Such a tiny amount and I wish I could be a little more exact.
He slept well all night. AMPS 114. I'm trying to get him to eat all his breakfast before I leave for work. He is demanding the magic chicken dust with every meal
And he will have snacks during the day?He slept well all night. AMPS 114. I'm trying to get him to eat all his breakfast before I leave for work. He is demanding the magic chicken dust with every meal
Do the best you can , I always eye balled the 0.25 and even the 0.1 and still got Tyler into remission since 1-24-21Yes, the U40 I'm using have the half markings, but I'm trying to give in-between the half markings and my eyes are not on board with the new plan
I was able to come home at +6 and check BG and give a little treat size LC wet food with chicken dust. +6 BG 101.
I really hope we can achieve the same for my Fin.
I was home at +10, not to leave again, and BG 111. Then PMPS 121. The problem is he doesn't have as much of appetite when on the insulin. He is eating but it takes coaxing and stirring and topping with chicken dust. When he only eats partial meal he becomes agitated about an hour post shot. When he eats a full meal his mood is fine. I hope as he adjusts to this amount that his appetite increases.
Never give up hope, believe it or not it took me 2 years and 4 months to get Tyler in remission with the help of everyone here. If I remember correctly one member said Tyler was the first one to go into remission after having diabetes that long. I don't want to jinx what I just said
I can't let Tyler hear that
You are awesome, Diane!Never give up hope, believe it or not it took me 2 years and 4 months to get Tyler in remission with the help of everyone here.

PMPS is 143. Not sure what happened. I gave him tbsp of LC wet food, same one he eats regularly, at +6. I did the same thing yesterday and the PMPS was 121. I changed the insulin out today and gave first shot from new bottle just now. So, maybe the old insulin that I gave this morning was going bad? I read online it's only good for 6-8 weeks. Fins is 8.5 weeks old.
I found this answered by a member Janet that used prozinc she said
Well the difference between 121 and 143 is within the plus/minus 20 percent meter variance. If you take 121 and multiply by 1.2 you get 145.2 so it is within the meter variance. I would not blame the snacks. A lot of people use their insulin to the last drop, but I do hope the new vial may help.
Thank you! That is good to know as this stuff ain't cheap
...I didn't notice any change, other than the PMPS 143, but I thought I read somewhere that it's only good 6-8 weeks so I swapped it out.
As long as you didn't see any white floaties in the vial the old one should be good.Thank you! That is good to know as this stuff ain't cheap
Tonight he went from 143 PMPS to 115 +1 hour. Usually he doesn't drop that fast. He isn't eating as much as he did when he wasn't getting the insulin. He licks the food and eats some but not what he usually would. Maybe that's causing the dip? Should I give a snack twice a day? and should I just give freeze dried chicken breast instead of the LC wet food? thank you!
Most of us feed LC food as snacks twice during each 12 hour cycle , say around +2 and +4
You threw it away crap lol , well now you know how long a vial is good forI threw
it away so I wouldn't confuse it with new one
