question about remission?

[Lulu's2Moms]

Lulu's been otj for a little while now, and i am wondering what to look for as far as bg #'s that are a warning he might need insulin again. He seemed a little funky today. we have been cleaning things out in preparation for a move in march, and wonder if all this activity and change might be stressing him out. I haven't tested him in a few weeks and decided to today and his bg was 116 an hour or so after eating. Should I be concerned? We were using NPH, but if he needs insulin again we will need to change insulin because we didn't like how he reacted to it. Any ideas, advice, experience is great appreciated!
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Any chance she got into some high carb food? Have you seen any indication of an infection?
Any dental issues? Those are often the reasons we see higher bgs. I would test for the next day or so to see if it's a pattern or a one time thing.

No advice on OTJ, you lucky girl, you! (and LuLu)

Just want to say hi to you, Amanda, and Sue, too!

hi amanda, your boy lulu (?) is still low for a post meal test. tom went back on the juice after 2.5 years. the things i noticed were loss of weight and persistant hunger. his initial tests were erratic, a good non diabetic # one day, 180 or so the next. finally started him back on insulin. very low doses at first. you just need to keep testing so you can nip it in the bud if he's having some problems.
