Yesterday

Raised dose to 3.25u going by TR protocol.

My question though is why is it that we were getting greens on the 2.75u dose but since we raised him to 3u, not a one, not even really close. The lowest we have been is 137. Makes me concerned that with raising him a full .25u that we have missed his perfect dose.

If you are raising the dose systematically, it's unlikely that you overshot what would be a good dose. Many cats' insulin needs increase. The best dose is the dose the cat needs.

 

+2 264

Even though he was getting greens before?

 

Yes, unfortunately....they are leading this dance, we can only follow

 

Ok, was really concerned on that. Just seemed odd that we were getting greens then change dose and none.

 

+4 163

Heck of a drop so might get some action.

 

It also helps to remember than insulin is a hormone not a drug. It's not like you add a little bit of insulin and the numbers get a little bit better. You just have to keep increasing until the numbers all improve - instead of just a random green here and there.

 

That makes sense. I tend to forget that.

Same thing going on with Silver. Baffles me. No real reason given. “Cats do their thing”. Hopefully both our kitties will see green again soon.

 

Every cat is different, yes, but as Wendy said, it is a hormone and hormones do act differently then drugs. Eventually both our kitties will he back into greens.
