9/5 Willow made it to the yellow! AMPS 432 / +3: 374 / +6: 281

Yesterday: https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/9-4-willow-amps-463-3-405-5-372-8-372.234645/

Woo hoo!

Down from an insane high last night though. Seems like I should hold at 3 units for another day?

 

Yay, great job Willow!

Looks like you are following TR per your signature - if so, then you hold for a minimum of 6 cycles. Looking at your spreadsheet, tonight would be the start of cycle 6 (so shoot your current 3 units). Then, you can increase by 0.25- below is the section from the TR guidelines here. I'm still new here too but hope that helps You are doing great!

Increasing the dose:

• Hold the dose for 3 - 5 days (6 - 10 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are less than 200 before increasing the dose by 0.25 unit.
  • if your cat is new to numbers under 200, it is recommended to hold the dose for at least 8-10 cycles before increasing.
  • when your cat starts to see nadirs under 100, hold the dose for at least 10 cycles before increasing.
• Increase by 0.25 unit after 3 days (6 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are greater than 200, but less than 300.
• Increase by 0.5 unit after 3 days (6 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are greater than 300.

 

Also, if you have additional questions or need more clarity - edit your title and pick the ? from the drop-down on the left! It will help get more eyes on your thread!

 

Yellows are great progress! But green/blue is the goal. One more dose tonight at 3.0 units, then 3.25 units tomorrow morning - unless you see blue tonight.

Don't be surprised if you see a bounce instead though. But it is good to see the insulin working.

 

You were right about the bounce! She spiked again. I'll increase to 3.25 tomorrow, thanks- hopefully the highs will come down.

 

thanks for the tip!
