Hi Sean and Rufus, I'm just chiming in to say welcome. Reading your post today seems very familiar to where we started with Titan last summer. You are doing very well! Keep your vet apprised of what you are doing, best thing we did was to share the SS with ours. Take a peek at Titans SS from last summer, SCARY!! Oh by the way you are practically a neighbor, we are in River Falls WI. Take care Ed.

Time for another test

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Time for another test

65. Gave him some higher carb wet food. Think it's 15% carbs? He's got an appetite so that's good. Weird that those treats did nothing for his bg, unless it goes up later.

Hi Ed! Yeah his numbers are going crazy. Weird what happens in 1 week! I'm working with 2 specialists and my regular vet. Don't think we'll need the specialists anymore

Excellent, about 1-2tsps is good, he may need more later, you don't want him to get too full too quickly. He's mostly flat, those treats may likely have kept him from dropping further. We want him above 68...test again 20-30 mins.

Ok. Will do. I actually gave him about 2 oz! Whoops

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

Remember the high carb food will effect his numbers for up to two hours, so looks like a PJ party

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Lol that's ok, first time Mav dropped under 68 on AT2 I gave him a half a can of 20% Fancy feast ....he came up pretty quick after that

 

[Sean & Rufus]

@MyTitan that was scary last summer! And now is on 4.5! That's awesome!

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

PJ party in progress in this condo tonight?

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

His usual should be 6.5u but we ran into pancreatitis this week , he quit eating so I adjusted. Should be up to 6.5 again but maybe not. He's an acro kitty but I do believe the dive down from 12 plus units was when we beat back the IAA.

I think so, it's been so long since I hosted one I missed it LOL

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Lol, me too..Ed and I need to live vicariously through other PJ parties

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Well better tonight than tomorrow night. I'm driving to Canada on Monday to buy insulin!

Ouch, save that much ????

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Ouch, save that much ????

$300 vial here, $64 there. 5.5 hours each way. I'm going to buy 2 vials , so about $200 total with gas vs. $600 here.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

+3.25 = 97

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

Totally understand.

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

You will need a 4.5 to make sure it's not the high carbs holding him up.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

That's better, glad Rufus is back above 68! You'll want another test in 1 hour, to see if he's flat or on the rise.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Looks like Ed and I are on the same wavelength

 

[Sean & Rufus]

You will need a 4.5 to make sure it's not the high carbs holding him up.

If the 4.5 is around where it is now, am I safe to go to bed?

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

If the 4.5 is around where it is now, am I safe to go to bed?

I would think so, if you haven't given any med-high carb since 2.5. In other words you want him to be in the safe zone on his own and not artificially (high carbs). Plus I might set alarm to get a 5.5 or 6.5 if 4.5 is a good number just to make sure.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Depending on the carb intervention, but you'd want 2 consecutive tests, about an hour apart, that show him rising without food. Did you feed anything at +3.25?

Mav and Titan have been shark hunting buddies for a while.

No, no more food after +2.5

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

 

[Sean & Rufus]

And here I was excited and planning to go to sleep early tonight. Hahaha. Nope! But I guess if he keeps earning reductions it's worth it

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

When is your 4.5 scheduled ?

 

[Christie & Maverick]

But I guess if he keeps earning reductions it's worth it

We don't normally do back to back reductions, but I'll tag @Wendy&Neko and @Sandy and Black Kitty and we'll see what they think.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Oh I wasn't planning on another one already, this was his first cycle at 4.5.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

When is your 4.5 scheduled ?

12am

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

Oh I wasn't planning on another one already, this was his first cycle at 4.5.

Yes, there is still depot action from the 5u in the mix. You will have to take it cycle by cycle right now. If downward pressure picks up too much steam a one time reduced dose, to drain the depot some, might be a good strategy.

Eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. This is an unpredictable ride.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

+4.5 120

 

[Sean & Rufus]

I'm going to set an alarm for a +6.5

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

He's climbing nicely on his own I believe. 2 hrs after carbs onboard.

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

Heck of a way to meet, enjoyed the party!

 

[Sean & Rufus]

And it wasn't even that much food. I'd say 15 treats and an ounce of higher carb wet food.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

thanks for checking in!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

What Sandy said.

Surf safe Rufus.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

+6.5 139. Slight bounce perhaps?
