Re: Coby Update & ? regarding Dr. H. GH Dose

March 3, 2005

Hi,

Yes it is that amount because the higher amount cause higher chances of Coby to

be a insulin resistance if he were to become a diabetic which is one thing Rss

kids have to be very careful of because they are at greater risk for being a

diabetic. the higher the dose of GH the greater the chances of starting at much

higher then normal insulin levels. So as long as he is growing and increasing

dont change

Coby went to the endo this week. He has been on GH now for 5 1/2

months. He is 2.4 yrs old now. He weighs 22.1 lbs and is 33.35 in

long. That is an INCREASE of 1.2 lbs and 4.2 inches since starting

GH!!!!!! I am thrilled. He is at the 5th % tile now for his

height and still way under on his weight.

Dr. H prescribed the dose of GH that he should receive at the

convention. The endo mentioned that the dose she prescribed is only

2/3 of the allowed amount. My question is if anyone knows why Dr. H

prescribes the amount that she does?

Thanks,

prescribed christopher's gh that she starts at a lower dose and will
