Re: Help/New to this glucose game
Hi and welcome ! It is probably best to start with NPh and see what pattern develops before adding in "R". At four weeks in, your dog hasn't really had enough time to tell what his pattern will become. A curve really needs to be done before any further changes are made. I am a little concerned with how rapidly your dog has been raised without a curve. Sometimes, if you go past the correct dose, the numbers will go higher instead of lower. But, the spot checks you have done don't look too bad.
Patience and consistency is key to conquering this disease, so try to keep the same food, times, treats, etc. as close as possible every day. Make one change at a time whether it is food or insulin because if you don't, then you won't know what really worked.
