3/11 PurrFace PMPS 332 +2.5/301 +9.75/207

This is getting too weird. Last night was the 2nd time I've posted that PurrFace was getting an increase beginning the next cycle only to find him dropping low. I am 100% convinced that they can read our thoughts. When I gave him his shot last night I told him "this is your last chance to avoid the increase.". When I tested at +3 and saw the 168, a 128 point drop, I asked him "are you going to keep us up tonight just to show us whose in the driver's seat?" and he looked up at me and meowed. I set the alarm clock and glad I did. I dicussed his dose with DW this moring. She noted that there was actually 2 things that changed Saturday after his AM shot that could have contributed to his high numbers during Saturday's PM cycle. One being the food change with the introduction of the Cowboy Cookout and the other being that she gave him his PM shot Saturday, not me, so there could have been a difference in the amout of insulin he received. After our talk I did adjust his dose this morning but instead of up I gave him the decrease he earned with his +6.5/40.

Off to the vet to pick up a prescription for more Lantus Pens. He wrote it with a 3 refill authorization this time so we should be good for a long time. We called his office asking for the scrip and he called us back 1/2 hour later and was on the phone with me for 15 minutes asking about PF, what dosage he was on etc. He said it was good that I didn't start him on 2 units BID as prescribed. The best thing was he isn't charging for his time or the scrip.

Thank you Ann, Rhiannon, Courtney & Karen for your visit yesterday.

Have a great day (evening) everyone. I'll be visiting the condos a little later.

Hi John,

It could easily have been the new food. Cowboy Cookout is only 5%, but I think it is one that raises bg in some cats. (Rusty always vomits it right back--he's allergic apparently to beef--but it used to raise Stu's bgs).

Anyway, congrats on doing the reducie. Glad you got your new pens.

Have a fine day and thanks for visiting Rusty,

Ella & Rusty

I believe that too ! They can read your mind, but not sure that they have control over there BG though, I wish they could,,, I have some insulin pens, my friend brought me some time ago, they still valid, but I really didn't knew that we can use them for cats ? do you used the pens ? and how ???

Morning John, oh how funny with the dosecreases and Purrface reading his condos. It sure appears that way. The Cowboy Cookout could have raised PurrFace's bg's. It slightly raises Maggie's bg. I usually give her the CC along with another flavor, as it seems so rich. Have a great day and keep surfing PurrFace. :mrgreen:

Nice cycle for Ole' PurrFace today. Have my fingers crossed that he keeps it going tonight.

I found this coupon for Lantus. There isn't an expiration date and it saved me about $17 on a 5 pack of Solostar pens at Walmart today. There are two coupons at the link. The first one requires you to register for a card. I printed and used the second one.
Lantus Coupon.

Have a great evening all.

Hi, John, your vet sounds pretty supportive. That's wonderful. And yay for finding the Lantus coupon ~ every little bit helps! I love the first sentence of your condo today:

This is getting too weird.

It sounds like the beginning of a suspenseful story.

Like Ann, I also mix some CC into Ripley's food; I don't know if it raises her numbers, but she wolfs it down on its own (which means it's more likely to come back up :roll: ).

I hope you guys have a great evening!

Re: 3/11 PurrFace PMPS 332

Nice cycle last night and this morning. Now, if PF would prefer a color other than pink!

I'm convinced Gabby can mind read, as well. I think about an increase and we see green!
