I saw you shot 1.25 that's ok, but it looks like she'll need an increase. I'm sure Sue and Rachel will chime in. And you got the spreadsheet!!! Yay!!!

Marje and Gracie set it up! I'm trying to figure out how to load the fields with the proper #s and colors.
 
Spreadsheet!!!! Yay! It looks great! The colors are showing for me.

Yes I think an increase would be good. 1.25 is fine for today but I'd up it if she's in the high 300s or more tonight. We want to start getting those numbers to trend down some.
 
Good Morning Eric ~ glad your SS is up and running. :cat:

Don't sweat it about the dose this AM, like the others said, you can take her up tonight if she is still high.
 
Great job on all of the testing Eric. With your hard work and patience, you'll start to see better numbers for Phoebe.
 
Good morning everyone!
Phoebe is at
+2 479

I'll be off of here and not testing Phoebe until l get home from work this afternoon. Leaving her alone racks my brain but l know she'll be ok and Bobo is here to calm and relax her. Those that don't know Bobo is Phoebe's big grey tabby brother. He's 14 healthy and wise.
 
Here's Bobo!

Sooo cute those pictures !
I see you set up that spreadsheet, nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww we're talking ;)
I think indeed Phoebe's needs an increase in the dosis, because the numbers stay pretty up.
Maybe you've already told the others, I can't find it, but what do you feed little Phoebe?

Marje and Gracie are my heroes! They set up the spread sheet!

I was gone from the house all day and wasn't able to check her numbers. I just got in and am watching her eat at the moment. Will get numbers asap

Usually, it's best to get test, feed and shoot. If you can't do it in that order, get a test as soon as she is done eating as for the food not to influence the number. Right now while she is in higher number, it's not as important but when she gets into lower numbers you will not want her to eat first in case you have to stall for her numbers to come up.
 
Nice! She came down 150 points from the AMPS. A lot of cats have lower PM cycles. If you are able to monitor tonight, you could raise her to 1.5.

Test her every 2 hours until l go to bed do you recommend?

Yes, I would. Since you don't have any test through out the AM cycle other than the AM and +2, we need to see how low the dose is taking her. We don't know how low she went today on the 1.25 dose. Let's see what this dose does.
 
Okay, so she is lower at +2 than her PMPS which could mean an active cycle. Can you get a +5 or +6 to see how low this dose is going to take her?

Yes of course not a problem. That's what alarms are for! :)
Speaking of alarms Phoebe's always been my 5a.m. alarm every morning. No matter what! She was always a few seconds before my actual alarm went off. That all changed when she went DKA on the 4th of July weekend. Until this morning. She woke me up at 5:15a.m.! Her clocks a little off but it made me feel so HAPPY ❤ that she is slowly getting back into her routine!
 
Eric, when you get the +5, I will probably be long asleep. If she were to be dropping fast and too low, give her a little bit of food to steer her up. If you need immediate assistance, you can post in Health with a ? mark as the prefix because there are more eyes there than in the ProZinc forum later at night. Remember, you don't have anything to worry about if she is above 50 around the +6 mark. You don't have a lot of data on her yet so we are winging it. This weekend if you can do a curve. that information will really help to know how to dose her. If you need information on how to do that just ask and someone will provide it to you.
 
Ok. Hopefully no super low numbers pop up. That kind of scares me. As for food at the moment l have food out for her and she's been snacking all night. Should l have not left food out for her? I was thinking l need her to eat.

I think that is fine since she hasn't been eating really well for you and she is in higher numbers. Does she tend to be a grazer?

She would be fed every morning between 5:00a.m.-5:30a.m. and 5:00p.m.-5:30p.m.
She was put on half a cup a day plus wet food. But since her DKA she's almost resorted back to her pre-diabetes day when she'd graze. But l also left a big catfood dispenser out. Yes she's grazing now.
