? 8/9 - GIDEON BLUE -PMPS = 238. Decreased to 1.5 units. At +6 BG = 537!

I'm glad to see things have improved....I'm just catching up here with your lovely boy...would you mind updating your title? I was concerned about the 'getting concerned' comments...looks like you've gotten lots of support and responses... :)

Glad to see he's coming up!
 
Can't get to the spreadsheet at the moment, +7 =118. Going to sleep another hr. Do you think it is safe to stop testing until PM, or should I get some more tests just to see how quickly he increases? I will be asking for dose recommendations tonight. Husband said he will get up at 1am or 2am to test, if needed.
 
I think you should be okay. Trying feed him some LC. A +10 will tell you more.

You saw what a fast drop can do today. If your husband sees drops like this at night, he will need to get more tests in. I'm concerned that Shiloh may have gone too low a few nights.
 
Yes, I believe Gideon probably did drop too low during the night. If my husband saw GREEN or even low BLUE numbers, he would feed and retest during the night. Fortunately with all that is going on in the world, he is working from home.
 
At +10 Gideon is 125. He is eating 9% carb food which is a real treat for him, since he gets 6% or below.
 
Yes. Should I have fed him lower carb food? I thought under 10% was ok. He doesn't seem as carb sensitive today. I am so reluctant to give him Lantus tonight, but let's see what he is at PM. Thank you!
 
Under 10% is fine. He’s earned a reduction so his dose will be 1.5. Since you are going away in less than a week I think I would reduce even though the 1.75 may still be in play. If anyone disagrees please chime in. Stop feeding until pmps to see if there’s a bug bounce which you might shoot threw the bounce and reduce in the morning.
 
I am not home tonight, just my husband. I can't ask him to test every 1/2 hr. Like I did at times today. He also has to work tomorrow, though from home.
 
Take the reduction. If Gideon is too low for comfort then feed him 10%. If he’s not eating feed whatever he will eat. I suspect a bounce given his track record. I hate to say that because since he’s a cat he will take pleasure in proving me wrong.

You can also drain the depot and not shoot tonight. He’s adjusting better now so he will get back on track. Definitely don’t shoot 1.75. Any reduced dose will still have the depot in play so I would not give a BCS dose.

Thank you much. Will retest in 45 mins for the PM BG. Sorry, what is BCS?
 
It looks like Gideon Blue has started the bounce in response to those lower numbers today. I'd shoot myself. Please be sure to get a couple of tests before going to bed. Is he eating ok usually?
 
Ok. Gave 1.5 units. Will retest at +2 and +3 and +6, unless you think a +5, instead of +6 should be done. I am leaving in 1 1/4 hrs. My husband will be with him after that.
 
I was out. I would have said shoot 1.5 so glad that you did. Let’s see the +3 and then we can decide whether to get a +5 or 6. Will you be able to post results or will he?
 
So don't test until +3, right? I will leave the spreadsheet open for him to post. At +4, I might be able to get to my emails, but depends on where I am and what I am doing.
 
Wow, things hotted up when I went to bed. You managed great! Looks like a big bounce now.
I corrected an earlier post of mine where I said to give low carb if he drops under 50 ...it should have read drops under 68 as you are using an alphatrak meter. Sorry for any confusion.
 
I just reread all the messages that were sent yesterday for my Gideon. There were so many. Thank you so much.
Now his BG is VERY high at 537 at +6. Now from being so high, do you think he will plunge low again?
This is very scary to bounce so severely,.
After work this morning, I will create a new thread with his AMPS, and 8/10 date. I sure hope it isn't any higher.
Thank you again.
 
He will come off the bounce at some point in the next 6 cycles. Whether he drops low when he comes off the bounce remains to be seen. They don’t always drop low. Just be aware that when he is coming off the bounce to monitor closely.
Yes a new thread would be a good idea.
