Happy last day of September! We are entering my Birthday Month which happens to be my favourite month of the year :) I am going to give TR a try for the month of October and see how Mowgli does / how my schedule handles it. I hope it goes well.

Mowgli had a nice blue start today, I hope he surfs safely while I’m at work :cool:

Nyx seems to be a little more herself lately, I don’t know if it’s in my head but she’s been more loving and a very little bit more social so I hope she’s feeling better since I started the fish oil and joint supplement

Have a great day!
 
October is usually a nice weather month, so I like it already - so when is your birthday? If you don't tell, drop some hints!
Great start little Mowgli, and I hope TR works well for you both. Maybe Nyx really does feel better. My GA civvie did improve on joint supplements, as long as she would take them. Usually mixing in tuna water worked.
Enjoy the day Amanda!

Good luck!
 
I hope you are able to follow TR with your schedule.
Mowgli looks like he is doing good on the current dose with his green nights:D

You know you have to let us know when it's your Birthday or I'll have to wish you Happy Birthday every day of this month!!
(I'll skip today as you wrote... entering the birthday month)
Happy Monday:bighug:
 
U can do this, I have confidence in you, it can be hair pulling sometimes, I remember when I started the TR
Good luck and have a great day

It’s October 28, still a ways to go yet!

I’m really happy with how Mowgli is been doing on 1u, I think for now this is his ideal dose :) I really hope I can pull off TR too. I have a strong feeling that the reduction points for SLGS were too high for Mowg. I can reduce that as I gather more data but I want to at least attempt TR

Thanks so much Jamie, you were the first to give me advice in the very beginning about working with TR so your encouragement means a lot. I definitely wasn’t ready for it then but now I think I know Mowgli’s reactions to Lantus much better which makes me more at ease to try it :)
 
Mowgli's SS is look'in Good! Good luck with TR.
I thought your birthday was near mine, 73 today.:rolleyes:

Good luck with the switch to TR. Interesting that you said you found the faster increases nerve wracking. I was relieved that faster increases let me get to a better dose faster. Course, I started back in the day, before Jill documented and formalized what had been the SLGS practise here. So much so that there was a different forum for people not following TR. Anyway, now it’s all about the insulins and each person doing what they are comfortable with at a particular point in time in regards to dosing.

Mowgli, we’ll be looking for more green from you!

Thanks Carla! I’m glad about Nyx too, and I hope TR goes well :)

Good Luck! You will do fine.....:coffee::coffee::coffee:! The nice thing about doing SLGS first, as you have noted, is you have learned SO much about Mowgs & I would think that would make TR at least a little easier:).

Thanks Amy!!

Yes I am really glad I did SLGS first. It really allowed me to take my time getting comfortable with a Mowgli’s responses. I feel a lot more prepared for TR now.

Funny how people have different perspectives on what is nerve wracking! I would also have loved to get to an ideal dose faster, but I just wouldn’t have known for sure how low Mowgli was going... I mean I’m never sure anyway even with SLGS but I feel a little more comfortable now that I have a better dataset.

I hope Mowg’s will satisfy our cravings for green with this new approach :)

Thanks Paula!

Do you love October too? I’m not sure if I love it because it’s my birthday month or because of the weather and scenery... but I do love it!
 
High 5 to you Amanda !!! It’s my birthday month too and the beginning of my favorite season and time of year !!! Happy October Birthday , fellow October bday girl :bighug:
 
Yes, that SS with the data you've collected already has given you a firm footing for following TR. It's not all that different - just allows you to change the dosage a little sooner - every 6 cycles instead of IMO much longer - gives you the opportunity to change it up if he's not responding sooner than not. I'm sure you'll do just fine!

Mowgli is looking much better these days! Happy to hear that Nyx is showing improvement as well!!

Thanks Sue! Let’s see how he does this month :) I’m happy to have all of you cheering us on :)
 
October is such a fun month with all the excitement of Fall! Good luck with TR transition....I'm sure it'll be easy for you since you already have so much data on Mowgli. :)

Somehow, even though you posted first in my condo... I didn’t see it until now! Same as JJ!

Thanks for the idea with the tuna! I’ve split the dose into two doses during the day so that the supplements don’t overpower the taste of the food. So far so good. I hope she keeps improving. She does seem less cranky!

My birthday is October 28!

Thanks so much Haley :joyful:
 
Looks like Mowgli had a good day today!

I started with SLGS too, but was not making progress. I sucked it up and changed to TR. It was nerve racking doing increases during the week when I couldn’t be home to monitor, except for 1 test at lunch. It made it worthwhile when Scooter started getting better numbers.
Good luck! You can do this!

Thanks Jill! I’m so glad I started with SLGS. I don’t think I would have ever felt comfortable to switch to TR if I didn’t.

I’m switching for the same reason as you. I want to see Mowgli at least regulated. We haven’t acheived that yet and it’s almost been 7 months! Time to at least try something new :)
