Sorry didn't get the last test; and now I'm still trying to wake up. Nothing is going right so far. Tabitha's AMPS IS 115; When we both woke up I went into the other room and when I came back I see that she uncovered the food and started on her breakfast. I hope (don't think) it has effected her test.

I need to wake up a little more before I try to prepare her injection. I just don't know how I'm going to do this? I'm just so exhausted.
 
That's the spirit we all get a bit down at times, especially in the begging when it's all so new. The trick is to let yourself have have a little wallow or a cry an then roll your sleeves up and put your big girl pants back on!

You're fine....it takes at least 15-20 minutes for food to start to influence numbers, so no harm done

I know how you feel this morning! I was up until 2 hours ago with our own PJ party....lucky?? for me (I guess), China found the trampoline so I can get some BTB time in!
 
With two years of grief support for my daughters suicide 2/8/13 .... My life didn't end it just came to a screeching halt. Having to find my new normal; instantly having a hugh hole embedded permanently into my heart. I'm not sure if this is my new normal.
 
@Chris & China thanks for the encouragement. Deep down I've sensed it ...... But in times like this .... It's hard; I don't know how I've gotten past these two years. The grief will never end. They say it just doesn't hurt as much. cat_wings>o
 
Sometimes "they" don't always know what they're talking about.

I'm not sure "doesn't hurt as much" is as accurate as "don't have as many totally awful days" is when it comes to losing a loved one....but I would imagine losing a child is a whole other level of pain.

:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Ok pity party is (check); injection-pushed plunger (check) 6:40am; 7% food (check); shower (check)

Test @ +2 anything else?

I am so sorry .The friend I mentioned before lost her daughter in the same way. I have no words of comfort but your phrase 'a new normal' resonated with me. I hope that you have friends and family to support and to comfort you.

I too don't think that your sugar dance will last for very much longer but maybe when you have time to look back you will find that the experience was not all bad
 
@phlika29
My mom died in a car accident about 7 years ago. She suffered from mental illness. Alishia was my only child. Her father (divorced) died two years before she died. My father has alzheimer's and my brother and I aren't that close. Alishia's husband - haven't seen him even after her death.

You find out real quick who your friends really are. I met some through SOLOS (Survivors of Loved Ones Suicide). I know support groups aren't for everyone but I hope your friend can find something to help her. The death of my mother didn't impact me near as much as Alishia's. The combinations of death; child; traumatic just magnifies it. When people around you hear about suicide they will open up about their connection with their loved ones (suicide impacts many and you don't even know it) even in this day and time. We have meets twice a month and we have new people each time. It's all so sad.

+4 78; she has her7% food out and to encourage her to eat i added just a little of her ff 4% on top. It seems to have worked. She is eating. When should I check next? +5?
 
Looks like she's surfing!!

Have you noticed when she drops too low that she really begs for food? Most cats will go looking for food if their BG is going too low. With China, she's really pushy, so it makes it easy for me to know she's dropping.

I think you can probably give her a break...maybe test at +7

Are you using some Neosporin with pain relief on her ears? It can really help
 
At night she doesn't seem interested even when she is low. I have to syringe food her. During the day I notice she eats often but I haven't personal related it to the numbers. Ok I set the alarm for +7.

I'm eating something now myself, take something for my headache then see if I can take a Cat Nap. I think I have a little cat in me. I can usually take a nap any time of the day if I can.
 
+7 115; I don't think she ate the past two hours but she is eating now. No for testing until pmps

So for the next cycle I'll fill the syringe the same way and feed the 4% food?

I might stick with the 7% and hope for a good night's sleep in nice safe numbers!!

If you're willing and able to be up tonight if she insists on dancing close to the "line', you could try the 4% .....or you could wait and try it on a morning dose and see if the difference in carbs really effects her numbers. Some cats are more carb sensitive than others and the only way to know is just experiment

Most cats do go lower at night anyway, so that's another thing to think about when you consider lowering the carbs tonight
 
That's good to know. She just got through eating pretty good on the 7%. Since it does look like she goes low @ night I will stick to the 7%. The texture is a little creamier, sticks to the plate, so I might add a little of the 4% which she likes. Then in the morning I will try the 4% to see how that goes.

When it sticks to the plate, I guess being a girl, she will walk away. I then go and loosen it up for her. My boy, Marcus, will just roll up his sleeves and get down to work. He will eat anything he can get his paws on.

What I am doing now is using a sharpie and putting the carb# on the top of the miscellaneous cans so I can remember which # is which.

+2 118 Tabitha ate some about 30 minutes before the test. I put out fresh food and it looks like she is getting a little more. Not sure if I need to test at +3 or wait until +4.
 
She seems to usually nadir before +7 and she's doing a great surf tonight, so I think you could probably give her a snack (or leave one down) and get a +7 ....if she's still surfing then or starting to climb, you could probably call it a night
 
+7 112; she didn't have any food; we both were dreaming;woke up about 10 minutes before the alarming thinking I slept though it again; weird dream; Tabitha is getting into things again wanting to chew/play with things. Set the alarm for AMPS. THANKS
