09/20 Jerry AMPS 194 +2 213 +6 115 PMPS 197 +2 112 +4 61 +5 72

yesterday

Jerry's AMPS and +2 were a bit on the high side this morning. @Marje and Gracie your suggestion of upping the dose is probably not a bad idea. I just seem to be yo-yoing between .25 and .50 and getting nowhere sigh.

On a more optimistic note (I'm trying so hard) he is happy in himself. I'll increase his dose this PM cycle, I'll be around most of tomorrow so I can monitor the BG's.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day surfing or hanging out at the lagoon.

 

It's so easy to get caught up in just the numbers and forget about how the cat is doing. I'm glad Jerry is a happy kitty.

 

This is not uncommon to go back and forth between a dose. Take a look at Gracie’s SS and you’ll see we did it, too.

That’s why it helps if you are able to hold a dose until you see:

• Three drops between 40-50 on separate days
• One drop below 40
• A week in normal numbers

Of course, at any time that you are having to test and feed constantly to keep the numbers between 40-50 or a bit higher, it’s time to reduce for safety.

And sometimes it’s back and forth and then suddenly, the higher dose is like a kick in the pants and they quickly earn a reduction.

As frustrating as it can be, Carla has good advice....focus on how great he feels. And I’ll throw in this: don’t get attached to a dose

 

Well, increased dose to .5 IU and we have some action. I wasn't really expecting it this soon but at least we have some green!

 

It looks like he's really liking his new dose. Show us some surfin' Jerry dutchboy.
