Good morning all and happy Sunday!

Booboo's #'s look pretty good at the amps, at least better than yesterday. Curve now planned for tomorrow because of fur shot a couple days ago AND I noticed last night that I only had 5 meter strips left, now 2, so I have to run back out to Walmart again today, sheesh. Didn't even last me a week for those 50 strips!

Anyway, hope every bean and every kitty has a fabulous day today!!! :-D

Re: 1/30 BooBoo amps 352 +3 127

I have 1 strip left. I need to go to Walmart and it's about 25 mins away, so about an hour trip... I can do a +4 if you think that is the most important time, because I wanna make that last strip count! I was actually gonna do a +5, cuz looks like that's when her nadir is, so maybe we'll split the difference and do a +4.5. Normally I would do both even maybe, but I am going through strips like a mad woman! And don't worry, I am going to Walmart here in a few... :)

Hi Stephanie, just popping in to say "hello".

My Wally World is at least a half hour on a good day. At least you're not dealing with snow. :smile:
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo amps 352 +3 127

I was thinking +4 just because she is taking kind of a fast dive and that would give you time to intervene if she's going low. If you need to go get strips, though, then +4.5 will work. Leave food out.

Hi Stephanie! Wow on BooBoo - look at that +3, and what a drop from his amps. I'd test when you get back - just cuz that is a substanital drop. Bummer on the fur shot the other day - nice to see BooBoo recovering from that. Might even make some green today. NICE!

I know on how fast one goes through strips. I finally started mail ordering mine, and would buy every couple of weeks, whether I needed them or not., :lol: :lol: Mannie and I have had days were we have gone though a box in a few days. I hope your trip to Walmart was successful.

I like BooBoo's picture - one of my civvies looks just like that.

have a great day today!

My hubby will probably be here cause I will most likely just go real quick by myself, so there will be eyes on BooBoo... I wonder how much they would be at the local store or even if I could buy them or if they even have them??? The local store here charges and arm and a leg tho for most everything especially medical type things, because we are out in the boonies!!!
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo amps 352 +3 127 +4.5 164

Even if you were using a different meter, the costs for strips at a Walgreens, etc. is very pricey. I pay around $26 for 50 strips when I buy online. At Walgreens, the cost is $60. I buy lots of strips online!! I hope the rest of BooBoo's cycle was looking good.
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo amps 352 +3 127 +4.5 164

I buy them at Walmart. Walgreens would be very expensive I'm sure. They are the cheapest around. I googled it... :)

The ones I use (ReliOn micro) are $20 for 50 strips, not bad at all!
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Fur twitched when gave shot?

Good evening...

Tonight when I gave BooBoo her shot, she twitched on her back. Could it be that it was just cause it was cold? I did forget to warm it and I feel so bad. I usually do, but tonight for some reason I was really nervous again and just kinda wanted to do it and get it over with so I guess I forgot about the warming part. Actually my mind was on trying to rotate where I gave the shot and not get a muscle at the same time. I gave her the shot on the scruff left side...

Was it cold, or do you think I hit a muscle? So worried... nailbite_smile
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Twitched when given shot... WORRI

I'm sure you're probably fine on the shot... we all have had issues of all kinds of sorts with giving shots. You're doing great!

Hope you guys have a great night... nice blue numbers today!
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Twitched when given shot... WORRI

I tend to get worried over all sorts of stuff now regarding the diabetes! I'm wondering if that has happened to others as well, the twitching thing that is, not worrying, cause I'm sure we all do that!!!

Christina & Willie: You all have a great night too, and thanx for reassuring!
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Twitched when given shot... WORRI

Could have pinched a bit more going in - nothing to worry about, I think it is pretty hard to hit muscle w/the needles we use being so short. RELAX you're doing fine! :-)
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Twitched when given shot... WORRI

Hubby seems to think it was cause it was cold... poor kitty! i will never forget again!

Not sure if that is the reason, but the twitching thing has happened like 3 times in a 30 day period.

Amanda, I LOVE ur profile pic!!!
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Question about shot, concerned mo

i wouldn't worry about it. i never warmed the insulin when alex was on lantus. although i think the highest lantus dose she was on was somewhere around 1 unit bid. lantus is only known to sting when injected at high doses.

have you had a chance to read the Dear Mom & Dad letter from your cat? :mrgreen:
 
Re: 1/30 BooBoo pmps 365 - Question about shot, concerned mo

I have read it before and I had to laugh out loud at myself because I think I did and sometimes still do most those things mentioned!!! I even told my Hubby about it! :lol:

And once again we are in the blues! 1st time during the night to hit blue on Lantus!!! dancing_cat
 
Awesome news on the blue! I have never heard of warming up prior to a shot, I shoot straight from the fridge. Sometimes kitties do twitch, our needles are short.
