4/23- Chloe - AMPS 132, +4.25=84, +9=47, +11.25=55, PMPS = 59, +1 = 69

I was able to get a +9 after a +1 and a +2 last night and so far she's doing good on the .75. Hubby will hopefully get a +4-5 today at lunch and then I'll be able to get a +6 later as well. That's the best we can do with our work schedules until closer to her PM shot time.

We'll see how she does with the .75u BID!

 

Good luck with the reducie,

Hope she continues to see green with the new dose.

 

Very helpful to see those extra tests, glad you could get them in. Chloe looks really close to achieving fantastic regulation, I hope you can keep at it and see how well she can do. Paws crossed for reduction to hold.

 

Hubby was able to grab a test at +4.25, and she didn't fight him at all! Woohoo! lol Hope this trend continues for my sister coming into town later this week.

 

Nice!

 

Ok, at +9 she dropped to 47. Continue with the .75u later in 3 hours?

 

It’s so close to your last reduction and back to back reductions don’t usually work out. Assuming she doesn’t go lower still, I would probably hang on to the .75 and see how it goes when the 1 unit depot has a chance to drain. You also flip flopped with 1 unit and .75 a few times, so it destabilizes the depot. If you haven’t given her some food to bring that number up, do it now so you can take the food away 2 hours before shot time and see if you have a shootable and non food influenced number and we can decide then.

 

+11.25 = 55. Will update thread title soon (can’t do it from my phone for some reason)

@Stacy & Asia - she had food, took it away about an hour ago. We are 30 mins from her PMPS time.

 

Hopefully she will come up a wee bit more in the next 30 minutes. Good for getting the +11.5 that should tell you if you are shooting a rising or a falling number. Do you know when her typical onset is with Lantus?

 

Thanks. I was thinking about that the last couple of days. I need to review her notes from a couple of years ago again. I honestly don’t remember but I think +4-6 or so? I will see if I can find my notes I had on her from 2015. I have the Google doc from then, but hid it on the current doc. I can review it and see if I can tell from old shoots.

 

PMPS = 59. Go with .75u?

 

So I don't have a lot of data to go on. You know Chloe best. If you are able to monitor you can shoot the full dose, shoot a reduced dose or skip. Given her DKA history, I would not skip. Be prepared to get a +1 and feed her HC or honey if necessary. Make sure you can monitor her tonight and leave food out when you need to go to bed (hopefully after she's on the rise).

 

I can get a +1 and maybe a +2. I shot and will monitor as I can. Hubby gets up at +9, so will have him test her then too!

 

I like that she's staying flat... after you get that +2... if it's not going up...
i really think one of you should try to get a +5 or 6 or 7 just to be safe.
