Trying to follow the SLGS method.. so it says if pre shot is lower than usual, under 150, don't shoot. What I tend to find is if I don't shoot, she spikes on the next pre shot test. Should I reduce the dose, keep same, skip? I'm home the next 3 days with her
 
You want to eventually lower your no shoot number to anything over 90 on SLGS. 121 is a safe number to shoot but only if you can monitor tonight. Also, Abby had an 83 yesterday and earned a reduction according to SLGS to 1u. Even if you reduce to the 1u tonight there is still depot at play from the 1.25u. If you shoot we suggest getting a +1 and +2 when you shoot a number lower then before and go from there. It also looks like she was clearing a bounce today and she might trend down still...or start bouncing again. You can also stall 30 min without feeding to see if she's rising or falling. It's also essential to get at least 1 before bed test every night otherwise you're only getting 1/2 the picture. Many cats go lower at night and Lantus is dosed on how low they go in a cycle, not how high.

We also have a rule that if someone encourages you to shoot then we stay with you. Unfortunately I'm not able to commit to that this evening but did want to respond.
 
Thank you!! Since I will be here all night with her, I decided to shoot 1u. I will test her every hour and see how it goes.

So for future reference, with that 83, I should have reduced her PM shot last night to 1u?

Yes, on SLGS you reduce when there is a reading under 90 :) Congrats on the reduction!

Start with the +1 & +2 and go from there. Hopefully you won't need to test every hour. Hope you also have HC food on hand in case. I'll try to peak in and it's good to keep your title updated that way people scanning can also chime in if Abby decides to do something silly tonight. Paws crossed she just surfs!
 
Yes, I do have HC on hand just in case.. I had a scare a few weeks ago and someone on here helped me through it so that was nice! I learned to never get low on strips too!

I'll make sure to update it when I test, thanks for your advice!!

Let's surf, Abby! :cat:
 
You're doing great but do try to get a test every night to fill in the picture. We also recommend getting a back up meter. It stinks to have the battery die. It may have been mentioned but most of us use human meters. The strips are much cheaper, more available like at Walmart and the protocols were written using human meters. It's certainly up to you. I started with the AT but my pocket book was sure glad we switched! Surf safely Abby!
 
I will start getting one before bed to fill in some numbers!

I need to update my signature, I just switched to the Relion Confirm because the alpha strips are getting so expensive and half the time they read error and I go through 3 strips just trying to get 1 test!! The human meter takes way less blood too which is nice!
 
Yep...I think it was me. Just need that PM from you. To send me one, click on "Marje and Gracie" to the left and the. "Start a conversation".

Thank you!
 
Do I keep this reduced dose for a few cycles now? She was 255 this morning AMPS

Update* I shot 1unit, if I'm wrong, please advise.. thanks :)
