2/22 Darcy PMPS 339, +2 327, +3 310, +4 400 :-(

We had a good string of yellows (or very near yellows) last night. +6 and +7 were both 284... where he went after that I have no idea because I went to sleep. It's so nice to actually be excited about testing him today, instead of dreading it because I feel so hopeless. I'll keep updating up until about noon (EST), then I will update in the evening.

Nice to see Mr. Darcy's numbers come down with the R yesterday. Amazing perseverance on your part, Suzanne!
I hope he comes back down again today.

 

Good yellow at 268 at (almost +5) now he's pigging out for his second large meal of the day (first one was at AMPS). He's happier today, I can tell. Mama is happier, too. Let's go kick some glucose booty, Darcy!

 

Progress! Let's do it again tonight.

 

We haven't quite made it into the yellows tonight, he ate at PMPS and then at +3 when he was very hungry. Hopefully, +4 won't be too bad... but he's just finished stuffing himself with food, so who knows.

 

I just checked him for a disappointing +4 of 400. He'll probably slide down tonight, but I'm going to bed. Do we go to 20 units tomorrow? No R. I'm really afraid that I'm going to run out of insulin soon. I may have to buy the Lantus locally for almost $300. Once I buy it, I'm going to keep using it for a while. I'm just afraid that if I get an Rx for Lev tomorrow and send it to Mark's that it could take a while to get to me and I'd be without insulin at all.

 

I'd do 21 units L. Looks like he's started a bounce from the yellows.

 

Okay. 21 it is. That’s very aggressive.

 

Not really, increases are 10-15% of total dose. This is just a little bit over 10%. And same size increase as last time.

 

FWIW, I'm in NC, USA and ordered Mark's (lantus pens) on 02/12 and they are supposed to arrive today (so 11ish days from order date...they already had my Rx on file).

 

I'm just fine with it. I feel like I'm never going to get ahead of his growth hormone or his numbers!

 

Thanks, that does help!

I think I'm going to have to go ahead and fill this Lantus, get an Rx for Levemir ... send it to Mark's to keep on file, and then order it a little later. Right now, I have quite a few cats to get to the vet for various problems, so I will have to keep using the Lantus for a while after I pay $294 for a vial.
