perhaps I should have skipped the shot this morning with the 69 at preshot, but I have shot low many times, so had maybe too much confidence!

Maybe, or at least stalled to see what he was doing if you could, but I know it was already 11:45am when you gave him his shot.
Hopefully you can get through and out to the other side of Taffy's nadir with just food and honey interventions.

So, it looks like I should cancel my 6pm dinner plans???

Sounds like Taffy wants you to have a dinner date with him!
 
Yeah...looks like Barbara is right, date nite with Taffy! Some cats will do anything to keep their MamaBeans home!
C'mon up Taffy...if not I see more honey in your future or..shudder shudder, a trip in the carrier to the dreaded vets! And you know what they do there first and foremost..gotta take that temp reading.....just sayin'....

yes, 4pm, @ 68 this is +4.25
this is probably the honey

Yes..keep testing tho..the honey will stay in his system longer than the Karo but you need to be sure he sustains this good increase.
That's good to see. Remember the insulin hasn't peaked in his system yet, you have a bit to go still so you will need to watch him.
Liking that 68 tho..breathe for a minute! :bighug:
Don't let him get too full, last thing you want is for him to refuse to eat if you need to bring him up again...
Doing well!
Will watch for your next test....

should I take his temp???? would it be low if he was hypo?
 
Skip tonight. Was he showing any hypo signs? That's a good indicator when you definitely have to go to the vet. Thankfully looks like he's out of the weeds for now, but hypos on Lantus can last more than one cycle. Keep your ability to monitor that long when deciding if the vet is the answer, should he come down again.

No on the temp, but you can insert karo there for fast action if needed.

I know that was a seriously medically legit suggestion but have to share it made me chuckle! Hi Wendy!!
 
Chuck saw better numbers after starting s boulardi. He also had an increase right before I started it so I can't be sure where the greens were from.
It does have an anti-inflammatory effect too according to ibdkitties website. It is also used to treat diarrhea so hopefully that will clear up soon.
I hope he surfs in safe numbers for you soon! I would have been a mess with those numbers. You're awesome!

no hypo signs, Wendy. He is just hanging out in his kennel. For sure skipping tonight! Prob should have skipped this morning...my SS is not up-to-date, but I keep a notepad with #s and he was low very early in his cycle last night as well, but came back up easily. But I was up until about 4:30am. I should have given that more thought this morning before shooting, even though I had reduced. Too late now, but I learned something!
 
Taffysmama said:
yes, yes, yes...I poked him @ 4:40!!! Just trying to find the bottom of the thread here to post!!! LOL!!!


He got 67 @ 4:30pm (+4.75, right, Les?) So holding for now, but still riding the honey train

Actually, if you shot at 11:45 and this poke was at 4:40, it's really closer to +5...

Did you give him any food or honey at the +4.25 test? If not, you might try a little LC now to see if he'll surf.
 
Also, just for curiosity, and bcuz I know that the vet would ask...I checked with the AlphaTrak meter and got a 140

Hi Elise. Another West Coaster!

It wasn't wrong to shoot today as it's almost a year being diabetic or was there a drop under 50?
Click to expand...
She's doing TR, so shooting a 69 is fine, regardless of how long Taffy's been diabetic.

BTW, don't forget that this little party today has earned Taffy a reduction, when you do shoot again!
 
tiffmaxee said:
I know the 69 was fine to shoot but she said she was low last night and so I didn't know how low she got. She said maybe she should have reduced I think.

Good point.

Julie, when things are a little calmer, if you could maybe fill in the past couple days of numbers on the SS - like since you started the probiotic, maybe? That would help a lot if things get crazy again.

But Taffy, they don't need to get crazy... just sayin'....
