    Hi everyone,
    Hate to post all around and drive everyone nuts.
    I've gotten wonderful advise from all of you
    I've updated Bubbas current condition on the lantus board (tr)
    Im a bit beside myself at the moment. If you could take a look and let me know your thoughts, that'd be great.
    Eating ok, just started drinking a bit more
    Water ( set up his water fountain) last night.
    Thanks

    Hydration is good.
    Eating is good.
    Ketones @ trace level suggest infection or possibly not enough insulin.
    Remember urine collects over several hours, so recheck with fresh pee, within 15-30 minutes after urination.

    You're dealing with an infection which may cause glucose to run higher.

    What insulin & dose?
    Get some mid-cycle tests regardless. You've been @ the same dose long enough that you may be due for an increase.
