Morning,
I'm already behind. I overslept. I stayed up late to get a reading on Blue and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I guess I was really tired.

He was high last night. This AMPS is 407 so I feel better and gave him his new dose of .75 so we will see in a few hours.

Dont feel bad I STILL do that.

You do not want to know how many times I've done that, Patty. Another favourite of mine is to type a message then hit the link back to the board index instead of clicking on 'Post Reply'. I come back to check on the thread a few hours later to find the unposted message still sitting there.

Most times I have to repost to get rid of the original, because the thread has moved on...

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I just asked Diane in the other thread about the vitamins being for humans....

 

[Critter Mom]

And I just posted an answer for you there.

.

 

[Critter Mom]

(I'm good like that. )

.

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

YES! Yes you are!

 

[Critter Mom]

How's your beautiful Bluebird this morning, Patty? (((Blue)))

BTW, test at +2.

.

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

He seems fine. He ate a good bit for a cat that never ate much previously. He marched on me for a while and he's off for his morning nap. He's got no worries!

 

[Critter Mom]

That's the sort of report we like to hear! (((Blue)))

.

 

[Critter Mom]

What was your local time when you gave the dose? Also, am I right that your time zone is Eastern Daylight Time? (Just trying to get my head round when your tests will be due relative to BST as the day goes along.)

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

It was 9:15. Yes, EDT until November 1.

 

[Critter Mom]

Nice 'n' steady at +2. When are you doing your next test, Patty?

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I can do +2 or +3...I'm around most of the day. I ordered the B12. I saw an herbal supplement for BG in cats. Have you seen it before or anyone tried it that you know of?

 

[Critter Mom]

Not given herbal supplements for BG. For liver and anti-inflammatory support, yes (Nutramed), and slippery elm bark to soothe the digestive tract.

I can do +2 or +3...I'm around most of the day

I'm confused now. There's a +2 result already on your spreadsheet.

I'd suggest grabbing a +4 next.

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Sorry I confused you...I meant an additional 2 or 3 but didn't say it correctly. I'll get +4.

 

[Critter Mom]

OK, Patty. I'll let you off.



.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I tested and it said high but I retested and it's 275. I'm not sure why the first one was high....but glad I did it again. +4

 

[Critter Mom]

Duff test strip.

If ever you get reading weirdness it's wise to retest straight away. Well done, that girl.

I'd suggest testing again at +6 or +7. (New dose, and might better inform plan for this evening.)

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

He's at 236 and eating again. He's been starving all day! I haven't been supplementing with the dry so maybe that's why. He likes his dry food snacks! I was just trying to figure out if he could go without.

 

[Critter Mom]

Nice +6, Patty.

.

 

[Critter Mom]

. He's been starving all day!

Maybe the dose increase driving that?

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Maybe the dose increase driving that?

.

I don't know. Do you think that's a common occurrence? I was just thinking it was a lack of dry food.

 

[Critter Mom]

Maybe. There is so much interplay between the food and the insulin.

FD is a bit of a voyage of discovery. Keeping notes in the 'Remarks' column about food, meds, litter box habits, etc., can often help you to identify patterns. At the moment you're at the 'Learn Thy Cat' stage of the sugar dance.

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

445 +8 back in the red zone

 

[tiffmaxee]

How I wish there wasn’t a need to test. We go through the high lows and in between with them. We all want a speedy fix and some lucky people get it. For most it’s a marathon. Hang in there Patty. The new dose can take several cycles to show what it will do.

 

[Critter Mom]

What Elise said. Plus this time round you know that Blue did well on the 0.75IU dose before. Let the depot build...

(((Patty)))

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

534 +10

 

[tiffmaxee]

There’s something called new dose wonkiness. Give it time.

 

[Critter Mom]

I was thinking about warning Patty earlier about NDW, Elise, but I decided not to in case I'd jinx things.

.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Me too.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I hate it but understand it will take some time. I'll try to be patient.

 

[tiffmaxee]

 

[Critter Mom]

And there's more...



Catch you on the morrow, Patty.

Good night Mogs

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

We're at 500 PMPS and I gave him .75 Lantus...He's eating, again!

 

[tiffmaxee]

We like a good appy.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Starting at 350 AMPS

He had dry heaves in the middle of the night. He ate this morning so I'm not sure what was going on. Maybe nothing but thought I'd mention.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Possible hairball? That’s been the cause with my two.
looks like the wonkiness might be ending.

No, no hairball. That's why I thought it was strange.
He seems fine now. Morning marching and purring..

 

[Critter Mom]

Fingers 'n' paws crossed...

Is all OK, Patty? Been keeping an eye on Blue's SS all day.

Mine act like a hairball but often can’t get one up.

352 +3 I'm having trouble with the site today.

386 +6 still can't post.

FINALLY...yes, all is well just wouldn't take my post. He's in the PINK.

 

[Critter Mom]

Hi Patty,

Site's working again. As I said above, I've been keeping an eye on Blue's spreadsheet while the FDMB server was throwing wobblers.

He had dry heaves in the middle of the night.

Did you see any small patches of liquidy foam?

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Did you see any small patches of liquidy foam?

No, he didn't throw anything up just dry heaves. Rare for Blue. That's why I mentioned it. He seems fine today. Maybe a hairball he couldn't get up. I guess we’ll see soon.

 

[Critter Mom]

Stinky pinks all the way today, I see, Patty. Better than the blacks.

.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

482 +10 I can’t update SS yet but will later. He’s been eating eating eating all day. It’s crazy!

 

[Critter Mom]

At least he's eating. Worse if he wasn't eating. (((Blue)))

Catch you on the morrow, Patty.
