Yep, we knew it would be high. I think 2 units was fine for a shot. That's not a bad drop at all for +2.
 
I'd probably give 2 if over 200. What's your no shoot number? Can you monitor tomorrow?

Too low again?!

Yes. It's crazy how all of a sudden 2.0u have become too much for her. Is this normal? I've read that with the YA diet sometimes cats can get off insulin. I'm going to scale her back too 1.75u when l can shoot her again.
 
She has definitely earned a reduction. We'll see where she is this evening, but you'll give less than 2u. Will you be around over the weekend for testing? This is good Eric, she's really responding. We just have to find the right dose.

Yes I'll be off till Tuesday. She's doing great. All bushy tailed (more like racoon tail hahaha) this morning playing with her toy mice sprinting back and forth through the house.

How is she enjoying the young again? It's made a HUGE difference for us. As a matter of fact I didn't even give my cat a shot today.

What does FCAF stand for in your signature?
 
+4 325
Not the greatest number but I've scaled her back too 1.75u also....might take her a few days to adjust.

Hello Janet. Phoebe and Bobo love YA. I had them both on Petcurean before l made the swith. And before the Petcurean Phoebe was on the Purina diabetic food which was higher in carbs than YA and Petcurean if that makes any since? FCAF stands for Free-Choice Abundance Feeding. And that's the way Young Again recommend you use there product. You can check it out on there website and they'll tell you the detsils and what type of bowls too use. Actually it's a pie dish.

100 pt drop isn't too bad and she'll probably go down a bit more. Did you get that ketone test?

Yes and she's negative. Thank god! Sharon have you ever had an issue when one day there were no ketones and then the next bang! Ketones were back?
 
Fortunately my cat has never had ketones. They say that once a cat has them, they are more prone to it. That is why you should test Phoebe often. Right now, with the dose decreases, I would test daily. The sooner you catch them, the easier is the treatment.

Thanks Sharon! I will! She's not the easiest too test. But l do it. No choice.
 
You around to watch her closely today, Eric? With that low pre shot, she will need some monitoring
You are so lucky your cats will eat the Young Again, as I said before, I wish Murphy would go back to eating it
 
It looks like the trend is down, which is great. The YA may be affecting the numbers and bringing her levels generally down.. Your dose today should give you an idea of how much for that 180 range. I would definitely monitor. 1.75 brought the 435 pmps down 300 points. You don't have that kind of room today.

We could set up a sliding scale for you if you want, based on her spreadsheet - giving you some general guidelines about what to shoot when you see a particular range.

I had to help a friend on his house and I'll be in and out today. But she's doing great.

That sliding schedule would probably be pretty helpful. But l don't want to inconvenience anyone.
 
43 @ +4.5
I've been giving Phoebe her favorite treats. Now l just added honey too them and will retest in 15 minutes.
