Those inevitable curveballs! Just when you think you need to increase they decide otherwise. It will be interesting to see where that takes Angel today. Definitely get that mid cycle BG today as the pre-shot was considerably lower this morning. I think I would have reduced the dose a bit based on previous drops on a dose of 2u.
 
Yippee! Looking good!

:joyful:
 
I think it's bouncing. The drop between the pre-shot and mid cycle yesterday was more than 50% of pre-shot. I wonder if you should try 1 u for a few cycles to see if that brings those pre-shot numbers down.
Are you available to get a test around +2 today? That is a low pre-shot and while the dose is lower too, it would be a good idea to track him early and slow down the drop if +2 is down a fair bit. If not, I'd leave food out for her.

Whenever I've given small doses she's always been crazy high for preshots. I'm at work but food is out and bf is home to keep an eye out. :)

Just made bf check. :) she's all good. 250.
 
You are certainly not alone hating the dreaded "bounce". While we all deal with them to some extent, just ask Kris about them. Her Teasel is the trampoline champ of all time. He got the "Best Bouncer" award awhile back! Maybe Angel is trying to get in on the competition! :woot:
 
I wonder if the 2.25U should've been held a little longer :bookworm:. PS's got a little lower each time (I know meter variance kind of makes them the same :rolleyes:) but the one evening she kind of had the ideal nadir for Vetsulin. She may just need a fat 2.25U before staying with the 2.5U. What do you ladies think? Maybe I'm hallucinating :smuggrin:
 
Yes I'm thinking the same thing. It looks like there was still some bouncing going on from the 2.25 and the 2.5 has just added to it and I think Angel is a bit of a bouncer. I'd back it up to 2.25u and hold it for 6 cycles to get a clear view of how that dose is working. Some cats are very sensitive to miniscule dose changes so it might be that a fat 2.25u would help but I'd go back to a normal 2.25u for now and see if you can't get those pre-shots down to yellow levels.
 
I agree it might be an idea to try the fat 2.ou. She's alternating between 2 and 2.25u now and interestingly sometimes seems to have a lower nadir on day cycles than nights. She may be a cat who is sensitive to very small dose changes so that small change might be the ticket to smoothing things out a bit more.

That's is my thinking :bookworm:
 
No you didn't. :)I am wondering what Angel does in the evening cycle between +2 and +6. We really don't know if she is on her way up or down at +6 right now so it appears she is staying higher at night. Maybe she's not. Can you get some random tests in earlier in the evening cycle?
 
Hope everyone is doing well. Been back and forth to vet with bfs cat. He was diagnosed with megacolon and a motility disorder. Poor guy. :( faith in humanity was restored today after we got an invoice for $550.00 but the vet only charged us $100.00. He said he can tell we really love him and are doing a lot for angel and her diabetes (he was so impressed to learn about us testing at home and our SS) so he was going to help us out. So thankful.

On another good note. Angel seems to be doing well on the 2.0F!
 
What a wonderful compassionate vet you have. Obviously appreciates seriously dedicated pet parents and loves animals much more than the money!
Happy Insulinversary!:cat: Angel does seem to be doing well with that little tweek of the dosage. :)
