PMPS 97

Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA. Cosmo's numbers were really high last week so I increased his insulin to .75u. It still was staying between 250-380ish. So I increased to 1u. We've been doing this for a few days. This morning his amps was 152, I fed him and gave him 1u. His PMPS is 97. Should we skip insulin tonight?

Thank you!

 

Yes

 

I would lower it back to .75 tomorrow because I was told that we want to lower so we don’t have to skip

 

Skip tonight and go to .75 in the morning?

 

I’d lower the dose to 0.75 u. If you’re off today get some tests between +4 and +6. You need mid cycle data to properly assess a dose.

 

Okay, so we skipped last night. Kris I didn't get your response until this morning. I just did his AMPS and he is 121. How would you dose him this morning?

 

Really good number after a skip last night. You could try 0.75 u but you really need to check his response to this dose. A test at +2 can give some indication of where he's heading. If he's in the dark greens at +2 I'd test at +3 and +4 to see if he's holding or dropping.

Novolin can drop BG fast and low but we need numbers to know for sure.
