Meika is home and they said she settled down just fine there all day.
Unfortunately, results were not good. After a week of insulin (3 units 2x/day) her glucose only came a little from the 558.... lowest today was around 400 and they want it down to 100.
So her dose was increased to 4 units, and we do another 12 hr. glucose curve test next Saturday. At least I can do that one at home and she will be more relaxed and hopefully better. He said she will likely need a couple more increases, but they do it slowly so the body adjusts, and so they don't send her into hypoglycemic shock.
In the back of my mind I'm still wondering if she also has Cushings which causes insulin resistance, but he doesn't want to test for that unless we can't get control in the next few weeks with increases.
We are exhausted, and just hope things look better in a week. |
