Ackkkkk 502 to start the day. Here we go again.

 

Yikes it went up and is "high" now...

 

is right! You dont wear hand lotion do you? I know its probably not whats going on but if you touch the strips with something on your hands it could throw the meter off. I dont know no expertise here.
Seems you were getting better numbers with a lower dose. That is until you didnt.

Is he still on the antibiotic? Was the infection bacterial?

 

Thanks Elise!

 

He’s bouncing again from the 112 blue I think.

 

He's in an antiviral and antibiotics.

I guess I could have something on my hands. I'll be more careful about that.

Maybe it's just going to take a little longer on this dose...hope so.

I'm at tennis but will check him when I get home.

 

Patty, I think Blue needs more juice. What’s your schedule like tonight and tomorrow?

 

I'll be around. You mean up his dose again?

 

Yep. I’d increase to .75 but you will need to get a +1 and +2 and maybe mid cycle on if he reacts quickly to the dosecrease.

 

I can do that. I'll check him when I get home but before feeding. Will dose .75 tonight at 9:15-9:30.

 

Patty, does Blue have diarrhea? If so it could use from the medication and that could be raising his bg which makes me think twice about an increase tonight.

 

Not that I know of but I'll check the litter box. I just got in.

I just checked him again and he's at 377 +7.

Litter box all clear.

 

He's feeling good and eating, right? Then I would increase. I don't want him having a glucose toxicity problem. Just needed to double check on that.

 

Yes, he seems fine but I haven't been here for several hours. I will monitor him, but he just ate like he was never going to eat again.

 

371 PMPS

 

I’d start with +2 and if going down a 3.

 

Okay will do

 

398 +2

 

Get a +3 please.

 

Ok I will

 

No change. Still at 398 +3

 

I think it’s important to set some alarms at night between +5-7 to see if he is going lower at night I’m also wondering if he’s on the right antibiotic and still has an infection. Is it pill or liquid? If liquid does it contain sugar? Does the other med have a steroid in it?
