Leo, whatcha doing up in the trees, get down u crazy cat

 

Hanging out with you now Bella!!!

 

I hope Leo keeps sliding down today.

 

Thank you Carla! Have a good day!

 

Thanks Joy, you too! My best to you and your little "shark lover", also to Peggy Sue, I hope she keeps eating.

 

I told him last night,I'm surprised you haven't had your tail bitten off!

 

LOL, crazy kitty!!!

 

Hi Sonia. Leo's looking good in blues!

I wanted to clarify what I said the other day. Sometimes cats will respond almost too well to a lower than usual starting dose... which is why many of us are cautious and re-start insulin at a low dose. Starting low is hardly ever a bad idea. Once you have an idea of how Leo will respond you can adjust the dose up or down as necessary.

Fast tracking up the dosing scale is also an option after starting low if you're not seeing much of a response. Although, seeing mid-blues today looks promising! *Usually* BG numbers will go up before they come down. Keep an eye on him. He may be one of those kitties in a hurry to get back to the Falls!

Can't wait to see where this dose takes him once the depot is full!
Good luck!

 

Hi Jill, so I misunderstood where you were coming from yesterday. From the protocol, I was under the presumption that I needed to start at 2U. It was suggested I start at .25U but his numbers were creeping up all of a sudden and quickly. I started at 1U thinking it was a kind of middle ground dose between the .25 and the 2.

I was a little surprised to see the blues so soon but no complaints, I’m going to follow his lead now.

If this was your cat, would you keep the same dose or decrease it?

Thank you! Your help is really appreciated.

 

If I were able to monitor, I would continue with 1u for 6 cycles to see where it'll take him... unless he happens to earn a reduction, of course.

 

Good, thanks again, it's what I was thinking.

 

@Jill & Alex (GA) So his +10 was 182 and his PMPS was 157? I totally chickened out and shot .5. I hope I don't regret this...

 

That's fine. No regrets allowed. It's important for you to be comfortable with what you're doing. Leo just started back on insulin so this could go either way. Who knows? In the meantime, collect the data and treat it as a learning experience.

No biggie. See how things plays out...

 

Leo is looking good! It will be interesting to see how low this dose will take him.

 

Sorry Leo had to get back on the juice, but he’s in pretty good numbers quickly. Hope he continues to work the juice.
