So much for my last post -the 'yay, finally lowered numbers'. Today's amps was 425! So frustrating! I just want to help the poor girl and yet i'm like a mouse running on a wheel - not going anywhere :( Stay the course or drop the dose down?

Hope all your kitties are doing better and you're able to stay warm. How cold is it near you? It's about 12f degrees here with a winter weather advisory in effect due to the wind.
 
Did you get any spot checks in yesterday? SS is not updated? Well, too soon to tell if this higher BG is just that first reaction to a higher dose or not - wait, she has been at 2.5u for a few days now hasn't she?

Read, and re-read the somogyi rebound page on wiki. http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Somogyi_rebound There are just some things about her numbers that says rebound to me.

And this is from that wiki page:
"Anytime blood glucose numbers seem higher after dosage is raised, consider the possibility of a somogyi rebound. But other things can cause unexpectedly high blood glucose too, so look for a clear correlation with dosage changes."

Dose reduction questions

Yeah sorry about not having an updated ss - it just dawned on me. A lot of the time (most of the time) i record it in the notebook i keep but then forget to actually add it on to the spreadsheet.

I am thinking of reducing the dose and conducting a rebound check. When i read the wiki on rebound, i fear some of it sounds like Molly is being described. I will reduce the dose tonight. Now i just need to figure out how much. Half? She's currently receiving 2.5u - should i administer 1.5u? In your opinion, does that sound like an appropriate amount?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated my lev using friends.

Okay, this looks great...

she's eating now, will get the +10 as well.

I really think Molly is nadir-less. Impossible i know but her lowest # changes all the time. We call her many things but consistent is clearly not one of them!

We started out lousy but it was actually a great day for her number-wise. Guess we'll be sticking to the 2.5u for now.

Keeping fingers crossed :YMPEACE: Oh, that's not a pic of fingers crossed is it? Keeping fingers crossed and saying PEACE.
 
Peace, man.

OK, nice numbers. I am zeroing in on that PS which is about half of the am one. Any way you can get a +7 spot check in tonight, or maybe even a before bed one would tell you if she is headed low.
