That’s good but you can give him lc if he’s in the 200’s at +3. If 100’s mc. Think about trying to start shooting at 7 instead of 8. Also maybe consider a timed feeder so you can sleep.

I have 6 cats that have to eat when Blue eats I'm afraid. I'm now at 10:30 -11:00. What do you mean by 1c or is it lc and mc?
OMG Lost track 5 cats and Blue.

Hey there, Patty and Elise. :)

What a long day for the pair of you. Elise, you're an absolute star! :bighug:

I hope ye both got some bit of decent rest for yourselves.

Looks a bit bouncy. Similar to what he did on yesterday's AM nadir and PMPS.

Was that a +11(.5) or an AMPS, Patty?

I'm thinking it has to be +11 because I didn't give him insulin until 10:30-11 last night...hopelessly off schedule again. I will retest for AMPS.
Elise is wonderful. She's been helping me for days. I'm supposed to go to another forum today so will I see you both over there? I'm so confused by this and exhausted. :banghead:
 
Good morning. Yes a bounce and he earned that reduction. It can take up to 6 cycles to clear but doubt it will take that long. See you at the Lantus forum. I’m sure Mogs and JT will visit you there. They have been wonderful orienting you to FD.

Yikes, I think I messed up. I tested and then fed and now I need to retest and give him a shot. I probably needed to wait to feed, right? Oh my.

She certainly is, Patty.

Elise helped to save my Saoirse's life shortly after my beloved girl was diagnosed and was going through a massive pancreatitis flare. I will never forget it to her and I will be forever in her debt.

She's been wonderful....I'm sure she has helped a lot of people here. Happy for you to have had her for your girl. I feel blessed.
 
Yourself and Blue are doing great, Patty. I wish the very best to both of you in your onward travels. Alas, LBL is somewhere I'm unable to follow you both (PTSD - the board completely overloads my senses) but Elise and others will be there to help you.

Go n'éirí an t'ádh libh! :cat:

I'm sorry to not see you there. I'm afraid I might get overwhelmed myself. We will see. Thank you for being here for us. :bighug:

I’m liking that second test. How does a little lc (low carb) and another test in two hours sound to you ? I need to put groceries away and feed my two lunch.

I was afraid to keep posting here. I fed him. He's purring and marching on me and cleaning my face.
I can test again before tonight if you think?

Did you start a thread on Lantus that I missed? Yes. I would test two hours from the last test if possible. I’m glad he is letting you know he’s feeling good !

No, I didn't. I read some of the posts there and didn't feel like that's what I need right now. I feel pressure to leave this forum.
I can test again maybe 6:00 since I fed at 4:00? I wish now I had tested before I fed him. He seemed to feel better today and his dose is lower. I'm still at .75 at your suggestion.
 
Was just looking at Blue's AM numbers and mid-cycle feeds.

+6 looks like a good plan, as Elise suggested above. You can always check before that if you are concerned about anything. Elise and myself are keeping an eye on your thread so shout if you need anything.

Ignore any pressure. Post wherever you want. Let me see your ss. Be right back.
 
Yes. Post at +11 just in case he’s still going down. If you feed him and didn’t test know that it takes 20-30 minutes for the food to have an effect. It looks to me like he will not drop much more but he could surprise us. Your dose now will remain at .75 unless he drops under 90. We reassess otherwise around 7 days at this dose. If he at any time drops under 90 he would get a reduction to .50. Please don’t feel afraid to post whenever and wherever you choose. Even if you decide to stay here I encourage you to look at some of the condos there and spreadsheets too as you can learn from them.

Yes, I am checking them out. I'm exhausted today but have read some material today and will continue that. I just need to learn more and feel more comfortable with what I'm doing for Blue, as well as my others. The multiple feedings of everycat with various foods has been such a challenge. Plus two got diarrhea so have had to figure that out. Maybe the new higher protein food for Blue I'm thinking.

I will test again before feeding him. I'm thinking it will be 9:30 because I got delayed again. It'll work. :)

Thank you for checking on us. You don't know how much it means to me to be able to come here for advice. :)
 
Deep breaths. You don’t t have to learn it all at once. There’s so much to learn. If he’s on his way back up you can shoot up to 1/2 hour early and it won’t effect his bg. It’s hard managing so many cats with different needs. I’ve never had more than two and it was hard feeding different foods. I had to be with each to get them to eat so had to close tgem off from each other. One had lymphoma and the other was Max who had blocked once and his bladder had burst. Well actually the vet pierced it. Go slow. No need to read now.
