Well here we are on day 12 of the OTJ trial and he's starting slipping up on us. @MrWorfMen's Mom @Sienne and Gabby (GA) @Marje and Gracie , should I consider giving him 1 drop this morning or wait and see where he is at tonight? Goodness, we came so far I hate to quit, but will do what's best for him.

 

[Olive & Paula]

Oh LT, to close to the finish line now, none of that!!!!!!

 

[Tina Marie (GA) and Jan]

I'm excited to see the answer to your question Suzanne. It hurt a little to see over 100, even though that's still not bad.
We love you LT buddy.

The OTJ Trail instructions say if you get a blue PS to test again in 2 to 3 hours and see if he brings his number down on his own. That blue is just barely blue and a lot of cats have blips like that during their OTJ trial.

Happy Day 12!

 

[Gill & George]

one blue ambg doesn't make a failed reduction. George had a few.

Can you grab a test 2-3 hrs after he had his breakfast? See if he brings the numbers back down.

 

[Gill & George]

Does he get PM snacks? at what time?
If he does, did he eat them last night?

I'll do an extra test at maybe 2 and definitely at +3 to see if he brings it down. He doesn't get any snacks in the p.m. because he shares a room with his civvie who I'm sure would help him eat it up.

OK, I'm guessing that was the case even when you were microdosing?

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

In many OTJ trials, there is one rogue blue that raises its nasty head. Also, allowing for meter variance, that rogue blue could very well be a high green.
C'mon LT, go green.

 

[Suzanne Burton]

So, he's bringing it down - phew.

 

[Beth 73]

Suzanne , has he had a good poop ? Sorry for getting in your business, LT, but when your Ozark Brother Elmo hadn't had a good BM in 24 hours his BG would be elevated ....so, I shall leave this subject with your Momma

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

The 104 is still a perfectly normal BG number. (Note to caregiver: Breathe!!!)

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Happy Day 12! They like to throw a blue in on the OTJ just for some added stress!

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Sorry to just see this but I agree he’s fine!!! Definitely continue with the trial

Good luck and I’m sure he will get across that finish line with flying colors!

 

[Gill & George]

Woo whoo Mr P reporting for duty, glad to see he brought it down with food.

Something I've noted with George, he gets fed a snack every 3hrs between ambg and pmbg. If for some reason he misses the snack, his big is usually higher than normal at ambg/pmbg.

You may want to keep an eye on those ambgs and try to figure a way that he can get a snack if it becomes an issue.

I use an autofeeder so he gets his meals on time.

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

WHOO HOO! Look at LT go! Happy Day 12!

 

[Sonia & Leo]

Happy Day 12 LT!!! !!!!

 

[Tucker12]

Happy day 12 LT!! You are so close

 

[Suzanne Burton]

Hugs to everyone who had to talk me down a bit today and to those who continue to cheer LT on to victory!
