? 4/29 Dave PMPS 142, +3 99, +4 67, +4.5 68

[panda28]

Dave seems to be going pretty well, but because my phone ran out of battery my alarm didn't go off. He got pricked 20 minutes late, and I'm giving the shot f1u 30 minutes late, but I'm home today and tomorrow, so I can test him as much as I need to. He threw up again yesterday and today, still just liquid. His ketones are still 0 though.

Glad you shot and are available to monitor.

Thanks for that, I'll bring him back by 15 minutes tonight.

Right, at +2 he's 173, and at +6 he's 58. He's just had a meal and I'm going to retest him at +7. Looking at the TR page, I'm assuming I should hold the dose longer.

Look at Dave, sporting some beautiful green there

Correct.
Since this is Daves first time green you want to plan to hold the dose for 10 cycles, unless of course he dips below 50. In that case you would reduce.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Did you get another test after that 58? Was he higher or lower?

 

[panda28]

His next test at 7.5 was 97.

 

[panda28]

Sorry for getting a bit behind, his PMPS was 142, and at +1.5 he's 137. I'll retest at +2, and +3, then go from there.

 

[rhiannon and shadow (GA)]

good plan.

 

[panda28]

At +3 he's 99.

 

[LizzieInTexas]

At +3 he's 99.

Very nice!

You might offer him a teaspoon of his regular food right about now and see if he will slow down and surf along

I just gave him a teaspoon, and I'll retest at +4.

 

[panda28]

At +4, he's 67. Should I give him another teaspoon?

Edit: I'm going to retest at +4.5, and go from there.

 

[panda28]

At 4.5 he's 68. No food yet, but I'll test at +5. I accidentally hit a vein, and feel terrible - hopefully he's still okay with me testing him.

 

[rhiannon and shadow (GA)]

surf... Dave... Surf

 

[panda28]

And at +5 he's 59. He's going to get 70g of food in an hour, but I'm just going to give him another teaspoon now to hold him steady until then. I'll test again at +5.5.

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

Beautiful
Surf Dave!

 

[panda28]

+5.5 and he's back to 68. It's sort of silly, but I'm really proud of him for staying in such a good range today!

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

It's not silly at all
Looking good!

 

[panda28]

At +6 he's 67. He's getting his meal, and I'll recheck at +6.5.

Hi Jacqui,
I don't know if you saw my post from several days ago. I was tagged as I live in Aust...Sydney.
@Tanya and Ducia also tagged me a couple of days ago but I didn't see it until just now. Sorry.
If you get stuck at all and the rest of the world is asleep, the best way to contact me is by sending me a private message as it will come through on my phone and alert me. I can then log in to the forum. I only see tags if I log in which is not every day now. I will be happy to help in any way I can.
Dave is looking great.....you are doing an awesome job looking after him.
