Forgive me in advance for being a bit of a mama bear, but given the language barrier, Google translate deficiencies and upcoming hospitalization, maybe this isn't the right thread to jump in on. Kako and tux, Kris and teasel, Nan and Amber are working closely together to support Kaori through this. It might be better not to complicate things. My opinion, humbly offered. No offense intended - please.
Hi Nan
Kako, thank you so much for helping me.Hi!
I went to read your previous threads.
Yesterday: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/1-1-2018-utyun-amps-97.188916/

Kaori, yes, a thread per day. Copy and paste your previous thread when you make a new thread so that people can track you. Post a thread before you go to hospital and ask so that Utyun will be given "safe dose" while you are hospitalized.
かおりさん、はい、スレッドは新しい日ごとに立てなおします。（日本時間でいいですよ。）スレッドを立てるときは、前回のスレッドのリンクを(↑のように）コピーしてください。そうすれば見た人が過去にさかのぼって読みにいけるので。スレッドは毎日立てなくてもいいけれど（スプレッドシートを見てもらいたいときとか、質問があるときに立てればいい）、入院前に立ててsafe dose を質問するといいです。

The bright green numbers are not 'real' Kaori is using a human meter, and hasn't dropped below 50, however, because she first started with an AT meter the SS is formatted as such, hence the confusion
I'll reply to this on your condo, with the language issues Kaori has I don't want to muddy the waters.
Happy New Year! GillHi Kaori, Happy New Year.
You are doing a great job with the food.
Looking at the spreadsheet numbers, it seems that Utyun, when he drops fast he does so quite early, so by +2 he sometimes has dropped by a very large amount.
If we want to try and slow the drop, to try and control the bouncing, we need to get in there early with the food, before he drops so far.
With my Cat/ George, he would go fast but early, many times by +1 I would know if cycle was going to be a dropping one, so I would almost always get a +1, then if drop was very fast then I would try some MC(13%), or higher LC like 9%.
For George the +1 test was usually a much better indicator of how fast he might drop, so getting a +1 allowed me to make a decision about food and stay ahead of the insulin.

Winter is definitely harder to get blood, I have no problem now, but I have been poking Georges ears for over two years now, so blood comes quite easily. Warming ears is best way to try and get a good drop when it is cold. You are doing a great job with him.
As you do not usually get +1, I would suggest trying a little experiment, try getting +1 on some days, in the beginning don't do anything different to what you have been doing till now, and see if that +1 does give you early warning of a downward flow.
Gill, I understand. Thank you!
You're welcome Kaori.
Gill, please let me have another question.
It depends on the variety, however, I stopped using them as the values for ingredients were suspicious, a number of them had rice in the ingredients and I became suspicious that they were making Georges BG higher. Also it is not a complete food. Once I'd done a bit more research and found out where to buy good diabetic food, it was difficult for me here in spain this type of food is not available. I calculated the carbs using a nutrition calculator.
Thank you so much.
I do not remember exactly, but someone contacted them and they were not helpful.
Gracias.
De nadaGracias.
