http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/3-23-smudge-amps-232.227400/ Lately we can't seem to get back to any regular numbers, and it was looking so promising there for awhile. I know the cats lead the dance, but I'm ready for a song change. I'm going to keep getting data at night, but I'm thinking dose increase again sooner rather than later?
Hi Bridget, it dose look like Smudge could use more insulin. Following SLGS you would hold the dose for one week. If you switch to TR you can increase every 3 days as needed. If you could get one test in during the day cycle you would test enough to make the switch , then you could get Smudge into lower numbers faster. Looks like you work outside the house which does make it harder. Some peeps change their **** time so they can get a +2 before they leave to indicate how active the cycle could be.
Bobbie's right...not sure what your circumstances are, but perhaps you're at home during this time? Any chance you could switch to TR for a while? It might be just what Smudge needs to give him the push he needs...if I've missed another conversation on this (your ability to test)...please forgive me...I miss so much lately because of work. Have a great day Bridget!
Looks like Smudge has lost her blues and needs that increase. You are only a couple days away per SLGS.
I will have the ability to work from home shortly for a bit, not every day, but maybe be around enough that a short term TR would be possible. Can someone remind me again what the absolute minimum readings you need to take for TR are? Yes, I'm generally gone during the day from immediately post morning shot to right before evening shot so the only extra numbers I get during the week are at night. Then I use the weekend to test during the day and finally get some sleep at night. I'm going to aim for a +6/7 tonight just to make sure her low time hasn't been dipping super low at night, but I doubt it.
For TR, you test at preshot, and one other per cycle. Even getting a +2 or +10 will help us figure out what is happening and make sure it's safe to increase faster. You need three days or six cycles of such data.
