2/2 Bart Amp 500 + 6 335

Bart has been increased to 3.2 as of yesterday at his PmP it looks like heBart's SS is bouncing on me. I will check him again at +4

Glad you increased. Do you mean 3.25 (vs. 3.2)?

much nicer +6 !!

celi

yes 3.25 and he was high again this morning 520

C'mon Bart work that juice!

glad you increased the dose, debby. we'll see what this does.

just to double-check, do your syringes say they are u-100? what brand are you using?

great job getting that +2 or +3 check in his evening cycle too.

Bart's SS I use the relion u-100 with the half mark. I'm going to do a curve on him Sunday I've noticed the last 2 days he has been in the 500's in his amp.

ok, i just wanted to make sure you had the right syringes. my vet switched our insulin from one that used a u-40 needle to lantus, which needs a u-100 syringe. when you said the dose at .2 i thought you might have the other ones.

there are a couple of options (i think) on why he might be that high at amps. one is that he needs more insulin, the other is that he's bouncing from a low number somewhere in there. as you are gathering data we'll be able to figure it out.

a third possibility might be if the lantus isn't good, but each time you've increased the dose he seems to have a blue number thrown in there. i saw you joined here in october - is the lantus that old? do you know when you had a new vial/pen?

and another check - have you looked at the yellow starred sticky on taking care of your lantus? no leaving the lantus out, no shaking it, no see-sawing the insulin between the syringe and the bottle as you draw up the dose?
