    Hi folks,
    Still pretty new here/to the FDM game. Bear with me lol.
    Nico recently switched to Prozinc from Vetsulin (Monday.) Apologies ahead of time as I've just been swamped with family emergencies, and haven't been able to add his spreadsheet but I am testing. First few days looked pretty good - Tuesday AMPS 274, nadir 163, PMPS 254. Yesterday AMPS 257, nadir 174, PMPS 282. Today AMPS 362, nadir 300, PMPS 517. I think he's constipated - I haven't seen him go # 2 since Tuesday. Could that possibly cause high BG? Or is it just normal for him to go up a little after first switching insulins?
    Appreciate anyone's insight!

    That could definitely make the numbers go up. Try adding plain pumpkin (I like to use pumpkin baby food). If that doesn't work, 1/8-1/4 tsp of Miralax.
