12/03 Butters AMPS 191/+2 209/+4 185/+6 279

[Butters & Lyla]

Yesterday Butters was.....high and flat. overnight she was not a happy girl. Restless, not sleeping well. My best guess is it was because of the high BGs. Hard to say for sure.

This morning, Butters was slightly less high and a little happier. Never one to disappoint, she appears to be heading back up to "high and flat" territory now with that 279 @+6.

I started a new vial of Lantus yesterday on the PM cycle. Her numbers haven't improved. This is cycle two with insulin from the new vial, but cycle seven of her current dose. I was wondering, since I started using new insulin last night, should I wait longer before I increase her? Per TR, I could technically have increased her this morning.

Thank you for any thoughts.

Have a great day.

I would not wait. I never found a new vial or pen made a difference. How old was the vial?

It was about six months old. I am all out of patience pants.

Whatever you decide, you and Butters will do great Sorry Butters was restless overnight...I hope she feels better today. At least she stopped by the beach again this morning - maybe her and Jax caught up for a minute - Jax can be feisty so I'm sorry if he scared her off.

Hope work goes okay today

That was the maximum I used a vial too. Maybe increase tomorrow if no change just in case?

Afternoon Lyla, if you decide to increase Butters tomorrow I am keeping my fingers
crossed it lowers her numbers. Sweet girl I hope she's feeling better ♥

 

[Adrienne & Molly (GA)]

Same as what Diane said good luck if you decide on the increase. I hope she's feeling better soon

With blue nadirs you can hold the dose 6-10 cycles. I tended to go less cycles for higher blues, longer for lower. I agree with Elise, I'd wait until tomorrow morning. Split the difference.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Makes sense to me! Thank you @tiffmaxee & @Wendy&Neko

Hope it's a good evening Lyla and the change in dose tomorrow helps.

Hey Lyla, is everything ok? I saw Butters had a seizure this evening. Thinking of you

 

[KittenTheCat]

I find the new vial always seems to “work better” but perhaps it’s placebo effect. I do know that when I aim to shoot in the shoulder/side area vs the middle back scruff the BG seem better/more responsive (is it placebo effect again?!). Hope Butters can get some rest (and you too!!) and feel better

Happy to see Butters spent some time at the beach . I don't see anything about a seizure? Is Butters ok? I saw the last comment and started searching through threads in a panic, but don't see anything. I hope everything is alright

I saw it on the spreadsheet

 

[Butters & Lyla]

I'm so, so sorry everyone. I was still working when it happened. Didn't really think about people looking at her spreadsheet. butters is home with me. It was NOT a diabetic seizure. I was going to mention it in my today's thread.

I apologize for alarming you. I am so, so sorry.

Don't stress about us! I'm very nosy and like to check people's spreadsheets to see how their babies are doing. Just as long as you and Butters are ok
