Sparky was impossible to regulate prior to our diet change. I believe that we once broke glucose toxicity and were regulated shortly until our bottle of insulin started losing its potency. We are just starting to regain control. We also have a lot of negative results when trying to shoot at low preshots (under 200).

Some excerpts of recent numbers since diet change:

5/26 amps 285 4u Okay then...

+4: 227

+6: 145

pmps 377 4u (got into EVO) See the difference??

5/29 amps 255 4u

+5: 89

pmps 221 3.5u

5/30 amps 237 3.5u

+13.5: 137

pmps 160 1.5u (+14)

6/1 amps 245 3.5u

pmps 159 2u

6/4: amps 183 2u

+4: 351

pmps 360 3.5u

6/5: amps 225

+5: 145

pmps 205 3u

6/7: amps 355 3u GOT INTO DRY EVO

pmps 360 3u

6/8: amps 276 3u

+3: 275

+6: 83

+12: 139

+13: 159 2u

+2: 267

6/9: amps 382 3u

pmps 110 .5u

+3: 196

6/11 amps 158 2u

+5: 205

After this our numbers got progressively worse, as it turns out our insulin was losing potency. We are still trying to get back to our regular numbers.

UPDATE: Sparky went into remission on September 22, 2006 and has not needed insulin to date. We keep him on a low carb all canned diet and this has kept his BG levels in normal non diabetic range consistently for over a year now.
