Hi,
I increased Carbonel's Insulin to 1.50 units, after having no joy at 1U, 3 days ago. You will see from her spreadsheet that she reduced initially and now she is really high again. nailbite_smile I don't believe she isn't getting enough Insulin. Do I wait 5 days until I give her more insulin?
I have read the info on consequences of reduction and increase in Insulin.

Many Thanks,
Carbonel and Carol
 
Hi Carol :smile:

I'd certainly wait for more advice before raising him again.... Sometimes too much insulin can have the
unexpected result of higher numbers. On her SS when she was on 1.5u previously, she had a fair amount of green,
including some low ones.... Usually at this low a dose, changes are made in .25u, not a full .5u, but there may be reasons
more experienced eyes will see ;-)

This has probably been mentioned before, so I apologize in advance if there's something in a previous condo, but you really have to get some
PM cycle numbers.... Carbonel could be going very low in the PM cycle (many cats do) and then bouncing high off those
low numbers the next day. Without knowing what she's up to half of the time, it makes it harder for even those with tons of experience and expertise
to advise you.
 
Hi,
Thanks for your response. I was getting good numbers at the end of the summer on only .75u. I have never in all the three years I have been treating her had her bloods behave like this. Unfortunately I work all day. My husband is on leave so he is doing the testing.
