TR and SLGS.
I wasn't really sure what I was doing at all, then someone asked as there was nothing in the SS. Looking at what was required I felt it was more SLGS. I'll list the reasons as that is easier.
1 - TS states a low carb diet. Tyler's food is 10 or 12 carb . I would like lower but that is all I can get of wet canned food here in NZ, despite best efforts to source the foods other people can give. I t needs to be low phos as poss coz of the CKD. I would be looking at a home made food diet to get the carbs lower but the time of year has been wrong for that the past few weeks. I also need to source supplements and pay attn to the CKD with any diet I do. Bron and Sheba have written a diet I can look at and hope to copy but I need the time to achieve that.
2 - The TR testing asks for every 3 hours which concerned me as good sleep for both myself and husband is important to stay safe - particularly husband . I can do tests most days with a rearranged personal work schedule but overnights would be a tough call. I cannot make the AMPS earlier than an 8.30am at the moment. That makes PMPS 8.30pm. If we both have to rise early then we won't be up late but the insulin dosing needs to be rigid. Working day one could be looking at sleep around 9.30/10pm. it is the matching of our schedules with Tylers needs that needs to settle to what will work.
3 - I liked the firm instructions and guidelines but lack the confidence to know I would not mess up by being forgetful , missing something or just being eyes off the ball.
4 - Syringes. So far no luck with half measure syringes. In New Zealand there can be little choice and availability with all manner of items. It is down to supply and demand. Hence the issues over the foods that most everyone can easily get. The meters. The costs for strips. Even getting the darn strips. I will keep trying.
5 - Some things still need sorting for Tyler. The vet's approach for one thing. Pain meds - which may /may not be available. This does not effect my doing home testing and dosing for Tyler but I think pain meds - if I can get them - will effect Ty's well-being and so his BG. I may have that wrong.
6 - I am attracted to the TR though as it has a great rate of success re diabetes. I know I know ECID just like people. lol
Pleeeaaaaaasssseeeeee do drop by us again . I think it is my concern to cause Ty harm that holds me back on understanding what it is I need to see. I'm too close.
I'd give you a shiny thank you star smilie but there isn't one. So just know I have printed off your post and thank you so much.
.....& thanks to all of you that help me and Ty. You are all lovely.
not a fan of quakes!
i may get it now, but am not sure it's easily ascertained without understanding every nuance of your kitty's cycle (unless it's dramatic). We shall try. @Juliet
