It seems that you got Kit to surf nicely back on 7/8 by offering a LC snack. You know how she reacts to carbs best so, if you think she needs a little more carbs than by all means. If it were me, I would be a little hesitant to offer MC since Kit's almost halfway through the cycle and should be on the way up in #s. If she tends to drop later in the cycle, you may need to prop a little with carbs. Just my 2 cents.:) Sorry if I wasn't very helpful:oops:

yes, she's a late slider. so that's on my mind. all these greens are still rather new to us and
i probably over reacted w the MC. but i test again in 5 mins to see what it did to her bg

After you feed you can wait 30 mins to test. It usually takes that long to see any difference in BG #S.

You're new to the greens. Don't feel bad about feeding MC or overreacting. You're on top of things, that's what's important. You'll figure out when and how many carbs are appropriate. It's all one grand experiment when it comes to steering with food. You'll get it:bighug:

Anytime;)

Hopefully that last feeding will prop Kit enough to get through the rest of the cycle. You may have to add a taste of smthg higher than 15% carbs but, we'll see.
Kitty's do love to get all this attention. My boys use to love all the higher carb snacks during low #s.
You're doing a great job so, don't be too nervous:)
I'll be around to check on y'all:bighug:
 
so thinking to PMPS,

kit is on TR has earned a reduction by <50
what i'm not sure about is by how much?
since she's gone over 5U the increases are by 0.5U

but i'm not clear on what the decreases are.
do you know?

in the proto under reductions it says

  • Caregivers whose kitties have "High Dose" conditions may find the need to reduce in whole units or more.
https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-low-go-slow-slgs-tight-regulation-tr.210110/

but i would think you reduce the amount you increased?
 
It's all an experiment right?(To an extent anyway)
Try the not feeding and re-testing in 30. This way it gives you both a break from more testing so to speak. If you fed her again, just to bump the #s a lil more, than you're just re-starting the testing cycle. You'd more in essence by feeding


ETA : You'd be testing more by feeding Kit
 
57 after 60min no food. so basically flat despite the HC ....
i plan to test again in 30min to keep an eye on her.
i'll take down the 911 now, but if you're still around, would be happy to keep hearing from you.

thanks so much for your support.

Sounds like a plan. I do hope Marje contacts you about PMPS dosing. If you haven't heard anything from her you might consider changing your title to ask about dosing. Maybe tag a few peeps. Don't forget to add the question mark to your title. I'd start asking at least an hour before PMPS. The board can be slow, as you know.
I'm glad everything turned out well. I'll be around to check in. You're very welcome for the support. But, just to remind you....I was a bystander that pretty much agreed to what you already had planned out. You did the thinking and reacted appropriately. Should be a huge confidence boost for future low #s. You rock!!:bighug:
