Leo recently switched to Lantus 1U from Vetsulin 1.5U and has been too low to give insulin some evenings/mornings. Skipping the dose makes his BG go...
Well after some research I can answer my own question. The reason it seems like I was giving more Vetsulin is because I was. Now to delete this...
Oh and not 4U of Vetsulin, 1.5 of Vetsulin which from the conversion chart would be 3.8 on a u100 needle if I'm correct?
Hmm yeah, the vet understood that he was on u40 Vetsulin (I think) and that he was getting 1.5 U, but still told me to start him out at 1U on the...
I guess I'm just confused because it seems like I was giving him so much more Vetsulin, like near the 4U mark on the u100. And now it's down to 1U....
Hey everyone! Leo started Lantus today after being on Vetsulin for over a year. I had been using u100 needles with my u40 Vetsulin following the...
Hi all! I just purchased my first new box of syringes from Walmart today. I'm used to using U40 syringes and here I have some U100 1/2 mL 29...
Thank you everyone! I did leave detailed instructions for Leo's sitter including some Gravy Lovers for emergencies lol. He even asked me to show him...
Good morning! Today is the day! I will be leaving in a few hours. If anyone has a moment to look at my chart and give any dosing advice for when I'm...
Leo's AMPS is 403 this morning. If anyone is awake could I get some dosing suggestions? Maybe try .5U again? @Yong @MrWorfMen's Mom
Sunday morning.
His PMPS was pretty high but I still gave him .25U. Do you all think this dose will be fine while I'm away?
Today is my last day to get a full true "curve." I'm planning on freezing some FF to be put out in-between insulin since nobody will be here during...
He definitely has a good appetite and is drinking just a little less. I haven't tested for ketones, can I do that at home? I just checked out the...
Leo's AMPS was 382 this morning so I gave him another .25U. His stool was really soft, light in color, and really smelly! Do any of you know of any...
Yes, sorry I just fixed it. I thought I had typed it in before work.
Thanks for the tips guys! The vet has actually sent me home with U-100 without telling me they are different. It wasn't until I looked it up online...
The syringes I have aren't marked for half units. Do you know how I go about getting syringes from a different source? If possible, I would like to...
Thank you @Yong. His PMPS is 163. I will try the .25U in the morning but it's going to be difficult to tell where that is on the syringe lol.
I can't believe he survived 5 units either, it's amazing. I have been taking his BG every 2 hours today as you can see on his chart. The only...
