? 9/24 Indie PMPS 245...stalling, need dose suggestions...

Well as suspected she bounced likely due to dose reductions too fast. Ugh. I am clueless.

Should I go up now from 1.5 to 1.75? I hate the quarters as it's so hard to measure so I feel like I'm not even giving the right dose

I also did have work done on my place and people she didn't know came in but I can't imagine thats what made her go so high??

She has been eating HC food today because I was gone all day and she's been going low.

I have never been so tired. I feel defeated and worried. How am I going to keep this up. I can't keep jeopardizing my job by working from home during the week and can't keep not sleeping. If I knew an end was in sight that she could in remission it would be fine but we don't know what the future holds, only God does.

I need prayers and encouragement.

 

bump

 

Sending sugar dance prayers and encouragement to you..all I can offer is that this will get easier to deal with..you sound like you are at that wall we hit when we get so very tired..
I'm too new to offer dose advice, but I can send hugs and bump you up for help!

 

Awe, thank you thank you thank you!!

 

I would hold the 1.5 unit dose for now. See what she can do on it. SLGS has you hold the dose for a week, unless she goes below 90. She could be bouncing tonight.

 

Darn it, I couldn't keep stalling. I ended up giving just over 1.5 so I guess 1.75? Ugh, shoot!! I can't absolutely can not be up all night again!!! I will 100% lose my mind. Have a full day again.

She went below 90 last night but was told to hold the dose this morning.

Back to back reductions often don't work, so sticking with 1.5 was a good idea. Paws crossed for a gentle slide to blue tonight.

 

You are getting really good numbers, IMHO you have every reason to be looking towards remission if you can find a way to keep at it.
The first few weeks are so hard. Don't give up!

 

She just dropped from 245 to 111 at +2. Yikes! Am testing again at +3.

 

Good news is you know what you do to prop her up if need be! That's progress right?

 

you increased because the pre-shot number was high? Trying to understand..

 

That is true! Gotta look on the bright side!!

 

Yes. And because it was mentioned I reduced doses too quickly.

 

Aha.,thanks for explaining that!

 

I try! Beats going stark raving bonkers!

 

did you give her a little snack of low carb food at +3?

 

No. I honestly wanted to see what would happen. And she just continued at that rate (I believe its called surfing). Now at +5.5 I did give her some of her LC food (Purina DM canned). Because I am officially going to sleep for 5 hours. And wanted to make sure she was safe. Praying she doesn't somehow start going down.

But am already wondering what dose do I give tomorrow when I wake? Do I now stay at 1.75? Or stay at 1.5 since we never stayed there long enough? I am back at work Mon-Fri gone for 12 hours a day. So I wanted to be at a safe dosing place by Sunday amd hopefully carry into the week.

 

I think I'd stay at the 1.75 at least for tomorrow morning....let's see how she does tomorrow before making any decisions about Monday

You may get some other opinions before then too and you can always test at +11.5 in the morning and give yourself 30 minutes to get some opinions before you'd have to consider stalling and getting off schedule

 

She was 114 at +11.5
