8/25 - Zed Blue/Red/Bounce Bounce Bounce

[Bree&ZeddyBoy]

Can you guys take a look at Zed's SS? He is bouncing daily through the blues to the reds...dose reduction?? Stay the course on 4.25? Dose increase seems counter intuitive to me, but open to suggestions.

Thanks all!

He’s clearing the bounces much quicker though. I’d hold the dose and see what happens when he clears this one. See what the others say. I would definitely not reduce.

If you are following TR as your signature says, you hold doses with blue nadirs for 6-10 cycles. I think I count 22 cycles at this dose? Time for an increase. You also don't want to hold doses that aren't doing what you need this long. They get used to higher numbers, it's called glucose toxicity. The goal is to get those healing green numbers on the spreadsheet. More insulin will also help reduce the height of the bounces. Zed is spending too much time over renal threshold. Time for 4.5 units.

That’s why I said see what others say!

@Wendy&Neko It’s okay to increase when possibly about to clear a bounce ?I was thinking let it clear and then increase.

He is bouncing daily through the blues to the reds.

The fact that he's only getting into blues is the "important" fact. We want him getting into greens!

I agree with Wendy....time to go up to 4.5
