Blackie's feeling fine; grooming, drinking water, chasing after anyone that gets too close to her. All is good. :-D

Question: Is Blackie a good candidate for more frequent dose reductions? The reason why I ask because with her previous dose reductions, and those rather low nadirs, I've had to fight her with almost every reduction to get her back to being stable by feeding HC. I appreciate any insight in this.

MY WISH: For God to continue to help heal Lori's broken heart... For God to help heal the broken hearts of those who lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to help heal those ailing make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s... For everyone to be OTJ.

She came into the office. I heard her at the LB, and she decided to seek me out. I guess I can't hide for long. :lol:

I'm not sure I understand your question. Dose reductions are given when:
Tight Regulation (Tilly) Protocol said:
  • The cat regularly has its lowest BGs in the normal range of a healthy cat and stays under 100 mg/dl overall for at least one week,
  • If the nadir glucose concentration is 40 - <50 mg/dl at least three times on separate day. (We've modified this to allow for one drop below 50 in a newly diagnosed cat.)
  • If the cat drops below 40 mg/dl
The reduction is done very slowly in a step-by-step manner (0.25 or 0.5 IU increments). At each newly reduced dose, try to make sure the cat is still stable in the normal range before reducing the dose further.
Click to expand...

It's not a matter of how fast or slow reductions are given. It's a matter of when the numbers meet the criteria based on the protocol. If you're fighting to keep numbers from dropping, you can reduce by 0.25u vs. shaving the dose.
