AMPS 87 Shooting 0.1u. Excited to see how things go today after the NS last night.

 

[Bronx's dad (GA)]

Freckles is on a mission...

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

May the green be with you...

 

[Judy and Boomer]

So excited for you and Freckles; she is doing so well!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

Just opened a new box of 100 syringes. They aren't marked by 0.5 units. Right now, that doesn't really matter, but that's still frustrating to me. Same brand, same gauge, same needle length. Now I know to look for the picture that shows the half units.

Freckles is on a mission...

She's got something up her sleeve...

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

Crossing paws!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+2 51 Let the games begin! Feeding some LC. I guess I should add syrup to that. We're way early in the cycle, here.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

*sigh* Freckles, you really need to stop these dives.

If you need to work hard to keep her safe today, I'd do the drop dose next.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

I'm glad to hear you say that. I don't love skipping the PM dose just to prop her up during the day. We'll see what happens though.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

I thought I really over poured the syrup last time. I guess not.

+3 56

 

[Alicia & Maggie (GA)]

What lovely greens!!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+4 52

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+5 50 Going to try mixing gravy from the HC and see if it will bring her up more. She won't eat the HC alone or mixed with LC. Maybe she'll do just the gravy mixed in.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

Good luck.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+6 62 It looks like the gravy worked better than the syrup. Hooray!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+7.5 66 Nice.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

I hope you can stick with 0.1u for a while. *anti-jinx*

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Awesome!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+10.5 65

Tomorrow I will be gone from AMPS +.75-4, possibly +5. We still had to prop her up today. Do I stick with 0.1 or go down to a drop? I'm guessing the answer will be stick with 0.1 for tonight and see what happens. What are your thoughts?

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

How often did you have to feed her? Was it gravy, HC, or karo?

This question 'Do I stick with 0.1 or go down to a drop?' I truly don't know. It's a toss-up.

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

It may help to get more eyes on your condo by putting dose advice? in the title. It's always hit or miss with my tags.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

How often did you have to feed her

I gave her maple syrup in her food at +2 (a lot. Like 1/4-1/3 teaspoon), and +4, and gravy at +5.

At + 3 I think she ate the leftovers of the +2 food.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

I'm awaiting the +12 number to see what you could do.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Waiting to see what PMPS is but considering the number of times you had to give Freckles syrup and/or gravy today and she's still in the 60s, I might be tempted to skip again and reduce down to a drop (press plunger, insert in insulin, release plunger, supposedly sucks up a micro drop) tomorrow morning.

 

[tiffmaxee]

See what +12 looks like but if my cat and not being able to monitor tomorrow I’d go to a drop tonight and see what the amps number is before deciding whether to skip in the morning. Others might have different opinions.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

reduce down to a drop (press plunger, insert in insulin, release plunger, supposedly sucks up a micro drop) tomorrow morning.

Also, when you inject the cat, you firmly hold the plunger and wait a couple seconds then withdraw with your thumb still on the plunger. I didn't know this part when I tried a drop dose.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

We're a little behind, so this is like a +12.5
PMPS 68

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Also, when you inject the cat, you firmly hold the plunger and wait a couple seconds then withdraw with your thumb still on the plunger. I didn't know this part when I tried a drop dose.

The insulin wouldn't be released from the syringe?

 

[Judy and Boomer]

We're a little behind, so this is like a +12.5
PMPS 68

Personally, I would be skipping tonight.
And tomorrow morning if you decide to shoot I would drop the dose again.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

So you can't monitor tomorrow?

If I bump up 15 minutes, I'll be gone +.5-4.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

The rest of the day I'll be home.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

The insulin wouldn't be released from the syringe?

Yes, but if you release the plunger before withdrawing, the vacuum would suck back up the insulin.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

If I bump up 15 minutes, I'll be gone +.5-4.

So from 30 minutes after shot time to 4 hours after shot time?

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

If I bump up 15 minutes, I'll be gone +.5-4.

How would you feel about trying the drop dose tonight? If it gives you trouble, then you could skip in the morning since you can't monitor the first 4 hours.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

We're going with a drop. We'll see how the night goes and where we are in the morning.

So from 30 minutes after shot time to 4 hours after shot time?

Yes.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Yes, but if you release the plunger before withdrawing, the vacuum would suck back up the insulin.

So the way I did it was to push the plunger down hard, insert into insulin, release the plunger and it's supposed to suck up a drop. Oh....I see what you mean now! Inject cat, push plunger and keep it pushed down. AHHH! The light just came on

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Looks like I may be up to keep you company!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

We're going with a drop. We'll see how the night goes and where we are in the morning.

Good plan. Too hard to guess now where you'll be the rest of the night and in the AM.

 

[tiffmaxee]

We're going with a drop. We'll see how the night goes and where we are in the morning.

Yes.

That’s what I would have done. Depending on how it goes tonight and the amps you can either do a drop again in the morning or skip.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

When do you plan to grab a test? I'm curious before I head off to bed.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

Here you go! +2 63.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

That's pretty level. I hope she behaves for you two tonight!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

Me, too! Have a good night, Mandy.

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+4 64

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Looking great Freckles!!

Let's see you show off those surfing skills!!

 

[LeeAnn (Lannie)& Freckles]

+5.5 63 Rock steady.
