Prop is now almost 15 years old. She got her diagnosis when she was 11 years old. After a foodchange and 4 weeks of caninsulin she went OTJ and was it for a little over 3 years.
But now she is back (spreadsheet not updated)
I started her out on levemir in may and her numbers are pretty much the same everyday. Just around 200 at ps,nadir between +4 - +5 and around 90-110. She gets 0,25 U twice a day.

My question is: I really like her numbers. I dont have to be affraid she goes to low on that dose and her numbers are not to high at PS. She dosent bounce because everything is just the same. I know i could get her numbers even lower if I just gave her a bit more levemir. But do I really need to, does her higest numbers at ps do much harm? Right now its easy and i dont worry when im not home. She ishappy, playing like a kitten, eating and sleeping close to me like shealways has.
 
Hey Charlotte!!

Sorry to hear Prop is back on the juice. To answer your question I'd say no. Regulated is preshots below 250 with nadirs in the blues and greens but as you know not below 40. Will she go OTJ again with that range, probably not but she will live a normal happy life as an insulin dependent diabetic.

I'm in the same boat with Autumn kind of just Autumn will never go OTJ. So I see no reason to hold her tight in the greens and I like sleeping at night. Plus my girl is ancient (approx 15-18 years old)

Thanks Mel

I dont think Prop will get OTJ this time no matter what. There is no reason as I can se of why she is back on the juice, no food change, no bad teeth, her helth is fine. Latest blodtest from only a few weeks ago showed that her kidneynumbers havent got any worse in the last two years. So I think her pancreas is just old and tired.

Is the chance of getting OTJ bigger if I get her numbers further down?
 
There is a possibility I suppose but honestly I don't know. Although I've only seen maybe a handful since being on the board pull a second OTJ and those it was normally an underlying cause that threw them out. Knock wood Maxwell is still holding his OTJ status and will make 4years this November 1st.
