Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the excellent information!
We have a 7 year old 25 lbs miniature schnauzer named Buddy -- just diagnosed a month ago with glucose at 460. We started him on 4 units Novolin N and have slowly raised it to 6 units. We feed 2 cups presription WD in morning and 1 cup in eve with some chicken breast and 96% lean hamburger (boiled) and he is still losing weight:
Here are the latest curves the past two days:
11-03-12:
8am 600 feed and shot
10:30 127, 152, 171 took three tests from same sample
1am 252, 269 took two tests from same sample
3:30 610, 600 took two tests from same sample
11-04-12
8am 645
10:30 159
3:00 600
I was thinking too much insulin and a Somadji rebound. However, on 11-03, the glucose was only in the mid 250s by 1pm.
Also, I posted a curve below that shows results after 2 weeks on 5 units -- not much effect.
8a.m. 300 walked Buddy for 1/2 hour before the glucose test. Gave shot and food right after glucose test.
10a.m. 320
noon 432
2 pm 330 walked 1/2 hour at 3pm
4:30 450
6:00 450
8:00 p.m. 697 gave shot and food and walk 20 minutes afterwards.
I know I need more blood samples and glucose curves which I will take as soon as the Accu-Chek SoftClix Plus arrives. I take the blood samples from Buddy's carpals as it is close to impossible with the gums or ears.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
