2 tsp 17 carbs after his +7.50 58
ugh, that's what I was afraid of. The no eating last night really impacted this cycle big time. I like Linda's suggestion in post # 50 for the future.He just keeps wanting to drop still, +7.50 58Back to MC
Yeah, you do not need another cycle like this one. This is the 3rd cycle with 2.25 and it can take up to 4-6 to get the depot full. I would reduce, let the bounce clear in 6 cycles and go from there.No, I would reduce back to 2u. He was getting good numbers on 2u as @Bobbie And Bubba mentioned earlier.

Should I feed him MC up until PMPS ? His ears are tellingYeah, you do not need another cycle like this one. This is the 3rd cycle with 2.25 and it can take up to 4-6 to get the depot full. I would reduce, let the bounce clear in 6 cycles and go from there.
I put him down to 2u myself, he didnt earn it, and this time I thought he had enough of it, so, I guess I messed up again?Here is the link to your previous post here: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...241-9-202-11-180-pmps-186-2-262-5-260.205214/
Time for me to catch up. Been out of town and home internet died too.
Interesting though on holding his dose, he is a long term diabetic which on TR by the book means he hasn't earned a reduction yet. If he's hard to get or keep above 50, that can be a factor in the decrease question. His good numbers on 2.0 units were because of the higher dose depot. Though he only had five cycles at 2.0 so couldn't really see the true 2.0 picture, the increase was premature.
BTW, I found with Neko that if she was going diving, her nadir moved earlier in the cycle. Seen it with some other Lev kitties too.
I had told you that I still wanted TR but with some deviations, and felt that the dose needed to be held longer, when he started to give me those pinks and yellows, I thought it was time to move on. I really think he hypoed today because he did not eat for 12 hours during the nite. This is difficult for my daughter and I, because just when we think it's all good, then BAMHere is the link to your previous post here: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...241-9-202-11-180-pmps-186-2-262-5-260.205214/

My daughter just tested at +8 57, I told her hold off,I didnt know she was doing it. It's been 30 minutes since the 2 tsp 17 carb, when do you think I should test again, and then resume LC?I'd try to stick with LC for now unless he keeps dropping. Don't want to elevate PMPS with food as that will only make decision about tonight harder.
posted at same time, will do a +9. Thank youI'd check again in 30 minutes and hopefully he'll be up enough you can then let it go for at least an hour.
OK change that, test in 5 minutesposted at same time, will do a +9. Thank you![]()
52 @ +8.25 @MrWorfMen's MomDidn't mean to confuse you. I kind of expected he'd be up not steady at +8 so that's why I changed my suggestion.





It can be helpful to list those deviations in your signature. I can't remember the details about custom dosing for every cat. You held 2.0 units shorter than TR says, not longer.I had told you that I still wanted TR but with some deviations, and felt that the dose needed to be held longer
There was one 2.50 out of 10 shots , 9 being 2U's, right now I'm trying to get Taco stable, we can talk about it when Taco is back on track, ECIDIt can be helpful to list those deviations in your signature.

Up now Taco!
+9 (7:00pm) 75, Suggestion ? pleaseA little more MC is in order me thinks. Man he just doesn't stop does he? TACO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETA Test again in 30 minutes after the MC.
Come on Taco! Play nice!
gonna try it, will test at +10, not feeding till next test.I'd test again in an hour. Hopefully he is on his way up a bit (having deja vu saying that! HAHAHA!) It would be nice if you don't have to feed him again before PMPS.Come on Taco! Play nice!

he's snoozing like a big dog nowI would wait and test in an hour, too. Hopefully Taco can back off the buffet for a bit.![]()

That's what I meantDon't let him hear you say that. It might give him ideas about having a PJ party tonight!![]()

I let 5 of the fur kids into his area, they're acting like fools and he's giving them the stink eye as he lays on the memory foam, wishing they would go awayPOSITIVE THOUGHTS of counting sheep Cindy! Maybe you should take his Top Hat of tricks away from him!![]()

+10 77(8:00pm), he's holdingPOSITIVE THOUGHTS of counting sheep Cindy! Maybe you should take his Top Hat of tricks away from him!![]()
He certainly has, both my daughter and I, we're a team!!Wow, Cindy! Taco has put you through your paces, but you have handled this so well! My hat is off to you and the FDMB beans guiding you through this experience![]()
both my daughter and I, we're a team!!
You and others are the bomb !!Yes I'll be here and I'm putting my thinking cap on...don't want to second guess your little monkey too early. Will keep checking in on you!![]()

He heard me feeding one of the other cats (boots)and came running in the kitchen, Boots is getting the 13 carb meat and thinks he's in heaven, He's in a large cat cage condo and Taco is starring at him with his ears back, like ,HEY THAT"S MINE!! oh,no it's not Taco!!Thank you for your helpGlad he's holding his own ! What a day , Cindy! You are doing great!

+11 74 , not too bad 2 1/2 hours without food
You know what assume does,dont you?Assuming Taco is going to go up a tad but not much, I might be inclined to give him something in the MC range in the hope of staving off any deep diving overnight.
I had to resort to keeping SUGAR DONUTS in my freezer for times when she got DRAMATIC!
That's hysterical, I have about 15 flavors and 4 different brands of low carb and my emergency kit with 13 17 & 25 and honey with a syringe wether he wants it or not.I'm sitting here giggling over you trying to decide what food to feed. My girl was a one trick pony. FF turkey and giblet feast or nothing! Wouldn't touch anything else. Finally found chopped grill here recently and she liked it so our repertoire has been expanded to 2 selections. WOW! Just so you know I had to resort to keeping SUGAR DONUTS in my freezer for times when she got DRAMATIC!
OK, going for the PMPS test, brbAssuming Taco is going to go up a tad but not much, I might be inclined to give him something in the MC range in the hope of staving off any deep diving overnight.
