? Charlie AMPS 275, +6 253, PMPS 76!?? Help

AM preshot was 275 (8:30 central), +6 was 253 (2:30 pm), pred at 5:30 pm PMPS (8:15) 76!

This is day 6 I think of his pred dose reduction...We went from stable low-mid 100s to all over the place.

I tested myself right after and it read 109. Just in case.

No insulin given...He's eaten. His ear has been bleeding more lately, so I will try him again at 10:30 before bed... I was fully prepared to increase his dose tonight.

What on earth is going on here? Any ideas? Vet never called me back after I sent the spreadsheet.

Link to earlier thread this week... obviously not dose increasing!

I think bg can drop quickly after it is not being influenced by pred. This happened for Simon. I think you need to be extra cautious with insulin during and after the reduction phase. So glad you are able to reduce the pred!!

 

Can you get another test right now? How long since he ate?

 

That has been what I was expecting this week and he was back up in the high 200-300s.

He ate about 45 minutes ago. Should I grab another test now or try again at 2 hours post food? He's hard to test. So I'm trying not to overdo it. The other night he absolutely refused to let me get a +3 on his PM shot. Sigh. But his ears are bleeding easier than they were when we started

 

Does he get a treat after a test? That might help. Hang in there. Testing does get easier with time.
If you can get a test now, that would be great. If his numbers are zooming after food, you can give the shot.

 

He gets treats before, during, and after. He is very particular about how he's touched. I can't even brush him he just runs away.

 

He is at 92 right now. An hour post food and 76

 

If you're following SLGS, I would just skip the shot tonight. You could try a drop dose from tomorrow.

Please take off the 911 now? Thanks

 

Yes? Thank you for the reassurance!

 

He was at 306 this morning. He's like a yo-yo
