Morning all, no more yellows last night.

I know yesterday the suggestion was made to increase to 3.25U today. I will increase the dose tonight when I can be around to watch her and pull a mid-cycle check. Numbers tell me she would be fine this morning, but my daytime wacher/feeder isn't available today so I'd feel better waiting until this evening's shot.

Have a great day!

 

Good plan! An increase is definitely in order - best of luck tonight with getting some better numbers although it may take a few days before you start to see much change.

Have a great day!

 

Gd luck with the increase.

 

Good luck tonight. Increase is needed.

 

Good luck with the increase tonight. With the depot insulins, you might not see much of a change the first cycle of an increase. Of course, that's up to the cat. Over time and as you learn Smudge's patterns, you'll learn whether it's better to be home the first or second or third.... cycle after an increase. Another phenomenon that sometimes happens after an increase is something we call New Dose Wonkiness, which manifests as a couple of cycles of higher numbers. No one knows exactly why, but it could be because the depot is rebuilding.

 

Does Levemir have a smell if you give a fur shot? I don't know if I'm just imagining things or not, I swear I saw the needle in her skin, didn't feel wetness but it's been a long day.

 

Oh dear, please tell me that's a typo in your title, you didn't up to 5.25u, right?! Good luck with the (hopefully) increase to 3.25u

 

Good God, yes that was a typo. I think I stared at the syringe for too long trying to figure out where the. 25 increase was best seen at.

 

Yes, Levemir has a strong smell. Paws crossed the shot was good.
