And that is why we are so cautious raising doses!

You caught it and he is beginning to stabilize.

So the doses were given 12 hrs apart. Ok, that's what I wanted to know, thanks.
And was Cooter's starting dose of Vetsulin based on the glucose # your vet got out of your kitty while at the clinic? Also, does Cooter tend to stress out during a vet visit?
 
God he has to feel crappy after that drop... thats why i asked her to take him off vetsulin, i know this will flatten him out a bit if we get the dose down

vetsulin dose was his size and the 510 BG number... his numbers really aren't too elevated at the vet. he hates the ride but loves everyone there. they let him roam around the back a bit
 
I'm here, too, Sarah. (Just been trying to wolf down some dinner. This bean can go hypoglycemic if she doesn't eat - but I'm not diabetic, just a fast metabolism.) Would like to see another test 20 min. from the last one, ok? (Am glad he's rising!)
 
BJM Thank you for charting this, it is definately going to get seen by his vet.. Don't think i'll get any push back on lowering the dose after i tell her his numbers tonight, but just in case. She was very impressed with the spreadsheet Iset up, and was more then happy I had been home testing, even though she originally said it wasnt necessary,,,,had to tell her I wished that was my idea, but i found it here lol.
 
Thank you all, REALLY, for walking me through this.... I've read a bunch of these posts and it was a rollercoaster on the other end, had hoped not to be on this side, especially this early in the fight when I'm so clueless...lol. Sorry I'm babbling, been a long day and its keeping me occupied while I watch him
 
The important thing tonight is that he stays in safe #s. Which is why you want to keep rechecking this for a while. And I'd say that if he hasn't risen more after the next test, you'll want to give him just a bit more food. (We don't want to put him in danger of vomiting, so slow & gradual is the best course now that he's up a little above 100.)
 
Dont have the hypo sheet printed, have it saved on my phone and tablet on the start screen. I need to print it out though, and stash some high carb where it wont get fed to the wrong cats.... maybe write "Cooter emergency only"on it.....will test again in 10, thats a half hour from last one
 
definately going to need to get more strips tomorow, almost picked another 50 up today but said, naw I just bought some this weekend

Is there a second drop on prozinc, like the vetsulin?

When you've seen such a precipitous drop as Cooter has done tonight, regardless of insulin type used - you REALLY want to keep an eye on him. Because you never know if he's going to drop again. (That ol' "better safe than sorry" thing.)
 
The only 2nd drop would be when the high carb wears off if the ProZinc isn't starting to wear off.

The spreadsheet has a chat feature - I can respond faster there, just copy and paste into here, so it is not "off board advising" per the guidelines. There is a small black caption icon - click on that.

You're the ProZinc girl here!

Hahaha! It's not like I want to get him back up to 500+ (yikes), but I'd rather see him up around 150-ish before I stop hyperventilating ... (of course, this may have something to do with the fact that I live with Bat-Bat:rolleyes:, who I just had to steer here, btw!)
 
took tomorow off since we were changing his insulin...so glad I did! Need to go get some hypo essentials that i will hopefully never need again... put a lil syrup in, just in case... BJM, i dont see the cation box, on my tablet, no computer... will keep lookin for the option
 
I can see you, but dont see anything for a chat...turned comments on if that helps?

BJ is one of the best techno-wizards here! (If I was smarter about using my computer @BJM, I would have a really cool animated "wizard" icon attached here. But ... I suck!:()
 
Can you see the comment I just posted on the spreadsheet? There is a small triangle in the upper right corner of the last cell entered.

And yes, it is the little caption box with the pointer down to the person which starts the chat feature.
