PM EDIT: Yayyyy!!! Green Again! This time, I gave the Blood Sugar Gold, even with a 55 bg level, so I might test before I go to bed, just in case that stuff is lowering his bg lolol That would be funny if I had to stay up all night because of a product doing somethin like that. I did give it to him this morning too.

I was looking over this mornings numbers and I know what takes place here but others are not here to see what takes place lololol
and I am not one to really like feeling as if I have to explain myself, but I will lolol It aint me but I will do it hahaha

The reason there is a +12.25 in there, is because it took me from +12 to +12.25 to get some blood that I knew would give a for sure correct reading - as in - that was all done in one sitting and I saw my watch at the time I did the last one, when I got me some blood I approved of lolol

And the reason it took 15 minutes in that sitting is because -
Mouzer has chosen to live on the bottom shelf to the coffee table, on a blanket. The table is against the wall, under the living room window. The cat tree sits in front of the table. I have to pull the cat tree out, get down on my knees, pull Mouzer to me, get me that ear, warm it up, stick the strip into the monitor, stick that ear, which this morning, was not giving it up lolol but I tested what it gave.

When the numbers were not as usual, I needed to try to get that blood puddle bubble up, so I could know I had the right amount of blood. As was, the blood was as if a skint ear and the instuctions say not to touch the skin and the strip kept touching the skin. I had to get blood enough, not to touch the skin lolol
There were five test done - one strip didnt even work at all. After each test, Mouzer has gone back to his blankie, so each new test, I have to pull him to me and get him situated again hahaha

Then, when finally totally finished, I had to fix Mouzer's blankie, put him back in his comfy spot, push the cat tree back in front of him, because he likes the privacy, get my stiffened, stuck body up from the floor, out of knee position lol and then put the testing stuff and cloth and such, all away, not to be dug out again, until...

So, there you have it lolol old lady tryin to move stuff around and be on her knees with a kitty lololol
I aint in my 80's but I aint any young spring chicken any more either :D



EDIT: I did the +2 even though Mouzer wouldnt eat until +1. Mouzer is not wanting to give blood very well. Just blood barely thin on the ear, as if a scrape, and that has given incorrect readings in past, so I am having to fuss with getting a bubble of blood, so I can be sure.
I will go with the +2 reading and wait for pmbg for another test



First Post of the AM:
Mouzer wouldnt eat until +1 - Should I do a re-tst at +2? Or should I wait until +3, due to food eaten late? Or being as food did not seem to do much for Mouzer, in the way of raising bg and seems to have played a role in lowering bg, should I just do the re-tst at +2?
If I do not get a response in time, I will do a +2, come back to report that, and depending on what that test shows, make a decision on +3.
The reason those extra test were done is because I had a hard time getting blood and I know this messes up the reading, so I had to be sure.
That is my plan, in case I have to go by my own instincts with this :)

I have to run into town today, so I called my cousin to run over and check the kitties at mom's place and she did that before she went to work. I will wait to get the test in for Mouzer, before I plan to run into town. Running into town sucks in this county lol That is why I do not go to stores. I dont deal well with bumper to bumper traffic and what should take me 20 minutes drive time to turn into double the time or longer and even longer if some bozo gets in an accident or if some bozo hits me lolol then that would take much longer.

My jeep broke down on my way home one time, right at a red light with bumper to bumper traffic, and those nutjobs didnt change lanes until they were right at me and they were all honking their horns, as if I could get out of the road! I was in the left lane and no where to push vehicle, even with help. I called roadside but they were to be three hours. I called the Sheriff to come sit with me and he sat behind my vehicle. I was crying when I told dispatch - these people out here are going to run me over and kill me!
I was shaking like a leaf on a windy day!!

If you are doing an OTJ trial, it is recommended you do only AMBG and PMBG. Otherwise, you will drive yourself nuts if Mouzer goes high in between the 2 checks. If one is high, then you feed and check again around +3 or +4 to see if the pancreas kick in gear and lower the BG. You can read the instructions again in your post yesterday. I know it is asking a lot of a test-aholic ... I know. It felt strange not checking Rex in between the 2 BG tests.

I have been doing ambg and pmbg and none in between.
The between @+2 for today is because he was a yellow and then a blue @ambg and that calls for another reading, before pmbg. But being as Mouzer is not able to eat well, due to his feline stomatitis, he wouldnt eat until +1 -- food doesnt seem to play much of a role in raising his level and seems to play more of a role in lowering his level, so I was not quite sure if I need to give the food the two hour wait or not.

I read my threads lol I know what is in yesterday's thread. I chose +2 because I have to go up town today and if I can get out of here sooner, all the better. Traffic only gets heavier and heavier, as time goes by. I dont need to be hanging around here for +3 or +4 unless I absolutely have to. But with his +2, I know he is at least staying blue, so I can go on and get this done, what I have to go up town and do.

I dont feel strange not testing. Been doing am and pm and getting my behind work done. I actually have been dreading having to test, as I have to stop all that I am doing, dig out the testing supplies, dig out the cloth, microwave the cloth, bag the cloth, talk the cat into coming closer to me, testing the cat, putting everything away, finally to get back to what I am having to do, otherwise. I personally dont consider Mouzer on an OTJ Trial just yet. Maybe he is to you, but he isnt to me, due to his circumstances.

Hi Cherryl, he's a little stinker throwing that at you this morning.

I'm sorry I wasn't about earlier, a +3 might have been a better choice this morning as he ate at +1, but you know that already, and if it's what would fit with in with your schedule, I wouldn't sweat it.

Yesterday you made a comment about continuing to test after Mouzer has successfully completed his OTJ trial. FWIW I test daily, figured that if BG started to rise I'd want to be on it ASAP. I think with Mouzers toothy complications continuing with more frequent testing than once a month would be a smart idea.

How's Mouzer this morning? Anything odd?? are all his 5p's in place?
That amps this morning seems very odd, I'm just wondering about the supplements??? though I just cheecked the ingredients on a website and I can't see anything that should have caused his BG to soar. Especially odd after that low number at PMBG last night. Did he eat much through the night? If he didn't eat anything from +2 last night to ambg, 10 hours without food may well have at least in part been responsible for higher ambg, I know with his tooth pain it's difficult.:bighug:

Hopefully he'll come back down. If you are around and want to grab another midcycle test this morning (seeing as he hadn't come back down to green)

I was hoping for one of you three I tagged to be around before I had to leave today but I wasnt like expecting or demanding it lolol And I just went with what I had to do, being as he was at least in blue, and figured it wouldnt be too bad. It isnt like I would have given him a shot for an am shot and if a shot was to be, it would be pm shot, so I figured my guess was ok, since you gals were not here at the time. I do thank you for responding when you got on and found time.

Mouzer was all normal this morning and the only thing different than his stoma-odd-eating-pattern lololol --- I did not give him Blood Sugar Gold last night. I saw the 56 and decided not to give it. So, maybe that stuff is doing something to lower his numbers and my skipping a dose, maybe he shot up --- but I cant say that as for certain. I couldnt get him to eat after the +2 last night, so I realize that could play a role in the higher bg level. He is doing his mouth in the way he does it when it is sore, so I know he is sore.

The new products for stomtatitis, Immune Sure and Comfort Gold, that I needed right away for Tommy Cat, arrived yesterday. I only gave those to Tommy Cat yesterday.
I did not give any to Mouzer until this morning, after ambg - and I gave it to him because I was having such a hard time getting him to eat. He did finally eat at +1 this morning and now again at +9 but only 1.5oz each time.

Tommy Cat has had two doses of the Immune Sure and four doses of Comfort Gold, which that one is for pain, and Tommy Cat did drink the broth from the can of Applaws Chicken Breast and he did eat about five bites of the shredded chicken, today - and he is awake and cleaning himself - Yesterday was the seventh day that he had not been able to do any of this, as he remained curled in a ball and just looked horrible with pain, so that product has already worked to help Tommy Cat. Maybe Mouzer will pick up his eating, once he gets enough of the product into him where his mouth doesnt hurt.

And as for myself, I cant even consider Mouzer as OTJ Trial because with this darn stomatitis, I just expect any day could be shot day And I am trying not to venture too far off of how I was able to work things around to be able to be here for him -- because - if shots start up again, I dont need to have to readjust myself all over again for testing times - trying to stay prepared for the possible, as much as is possible.

I have already gotten too comfy about just doing ambg and pmbg test lololol So, just to go back to regular testing will be a readjustment. But - in this time that he doesnt need to be tested throughout the day, I am utilizing it to catch up what all got behind - mowing is hades lolol especially when it is all hip high and trying to push through it OMG lololol And there was a snake in that tall grass yesterday!!!!!! I dont like snakes, I dont care if it is supposed to be a nice snake and I dont care if it is a big or little snake -
I do not like snakes :D



Odd numbers this morning. Hope he comes down on his own!

Thank you Jill and I hope he does too!!!!

Nice green PMPG. I am thinking that the yellow AM was due to pain. Since he is green at PMBG and you did not shoot insulin, you can put the lancet down and give you both a break. ;)

I would just not test tonight but giving him that Blood Sugar Gold - it is designed to work along with insulin to help keep bg down - and even though he isnt getting insulin, being as the BSG is designed to help keep levels down and I am not yet real familiar with how the product does work, I am going to test before bed to make sure he hasnt actually been brought down too low - in case that stuff is really working and doing something lolol I need to learn if the product is doing something, so I can know what to expect of it. If the bedtime test shows safe numbers, I will feel ok about giving the BSG with his already having a low number. I didnt give it lasts night because he was at 56. But I have given it tonight, so I need to check on it.

Sounds like a good plan .
