Too high

So it's 4:30pm. I just tested the cat. I highly doubt he will be in the full does range by 6 pm. This mornings dose is lasting long. He's at 91 now.

What should be my next step? I'm thinking I should lower the does back to 2u. I got the wrong u100's, but I would like to try a little under 2.25. thoughts?
 
I saw your post on the Lantus forum. Are you making the switch soon or were you just gathering information?

Re today's numbers: they're very good. I would keep 2.25 u for now, PMPS permitting.
 
On 2/9, he went from 92 to 317 in two hours, so he might make it up to a comfortable number. I agree with Kris, if he's high enough, I would try to stick with the 2.25u for now.
 
I'm just gathering information and trying to wrap my head around it all. I did however message the vet to update them with his SS and tell him my thoughts. I am still hoping that Prozinc can still work, but I am understanding that it may not.

I'm am so very grateful for all the diabetic help I'm getting. Learning something ever day.

Also, so where last night Tuffy was pretty much straight yellows. Would the 90's today tie back to the drop that was talked about the other day?
 
On it! I'm actually kind of excited right now, I really hope tomorrow he's not going to be super high. It'd be nice to see him in the yellows or I'd even settle for a pink, a low pink.
 
Did you just shoot on a green?!?!? :nailbiting: Honestly, I think he'll probably be fine, but definitely try for something around +3. (and good job using a lower dose to try it out)
 
No, I waited. At 5 he was green. An hour later he was blue and rising. Then I dosed a smaller amount. In the past I gave .25, but I raised it to a fat 1u because he ended up getting higher. My bf will be able to test when he gets home.
 
Really great job on that! Making sure he was rising, and giving a reasonable dose - lower than normal, but increasing from last time. That's a great way to safely start to find out what Tuffy needs on those lower PS numbers.

It's fun to scroll down your spreadsheet and see so many more blues and greens than just a couple weeks ago. You're doing a great job with him!
 
Thank you. I am getting more confident with dosing. I ALMOST wanted to do more, but I wasn't going to to push it. Especially since u wasn't home. I'm lucky he tends to get the same numbers around the same times so I have a reference . I KNEW he was going to be difficult this morning. I find that he tends to be finicky after a dose change on Sunday.
