Yesterday
Ended yesterday at PMPS 299. Start AMPS today at 302. Schedule 9.30 am/pm at the moment.

Wish I had now done a test two hours prior to the AMPS today but Ty was happy so left him.

BG tested at vet clinic AMPS+90mins=284. Urine test showed a good 250/500 mg/dL which it usually does.
Vet suggested increasing dose.
Then the fructosamine result came in . Cannot quite remember but was about 280 from memory, well down on last time. So vet looked a bit confused by that but as Ty eats well ; is a little active ; is no worse; drinks well ; then suggested stick to same dose.
Desist with the pain killers for the arthritis slowly as makes no difference to mobility.

Vet not that interested in diets TBH. He called the grain free a latest fad. Was not engaged by the idea of a raw diet . Feeds his own cat Hills dental . This was in relation to our other cat. Not Ty.

Didn't bother to mention home testing as doubtful how that would have been received.

This dose is getting Ty to green, I'd hold it a while yet. And today's spot check is a perfect example of why we don't change the dose just based on a few spot checks. Or even tests at the vet. I had a non diabetic cat test over 220 at the vet, and 53 at home the next day.

Sometimes it's just good to nod and smile at the vet.

Oh. I'm changing nothin' unless tests go mentals as I'm still trying to regulate his diet re. low carbs but also low phos.

He have me a little blue.

 

[PussCatPrince - GA]

Oh. Still blue at AMPS+10.

 

[Stacy & Asia]

Oh. Still blue at AMPS+10.

Yay for that!

Don't ask why.

Did the test. Fed him and then forgot to dose. So fed up.

Believe I will have to leave it now.

It's okay.

Would it help if you set out the insulin and syringe while you are prepping food? Would that help? That's what I did.

You can shoot two hours late if your schedule can handle being two hours late tomorrow morning, then gradually get back on time. If not, just pretend it was a fur shot. You aren't the first. Sleep well.

Might help if I suspend the syringe from my spectacles of an evening so it's right in front of my nose. *Thinks*

If you do that, make sure the syringe is capped.
