11/26 Henry PMPS 101 +1 138 + 2 108 +2.5 107 +3 83 + 3.5 77 +4 88 + 4.5 99 +5 101 + 6 110 + 11 334

Okay. I'm not clear if you have MC wet food. Do you? That may be our next move here. I'm trying to balance Henry's surfing in greens for as long as possible but also recognize it is early in the cycle and we want to keep him hungry.

Yes,
Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers 16% carbs

But will Henry pull an act I've not tried this hmmmm do I want to eat this

Now the Temptations kibble is 35% carb this might be a good alternative if need be

Time to open up the 16% :). I'd say because he is bigger, give him 2 tsp. And test again in 30 minutes.
You're using an alphatrak, so we want to stay above 68.
 
Good, so he has come up a bit. So don't feed him anything right now and check again in 30 minutes. We want to see if he is still going up.
 
Are you flexible on that? He has been getting extra food over the past few hours, so he wouldn't be starving come 1130pm, would he? Let's see what his BG number is at 1115pm EST.

No I do not think he would be STARVING but he might consume some and walk away but I'm flexible no problem if need to be (2) tsp at a time, YOUR CALL

My wife knows him better than me she says it's almost a certain he'll eat all 80 calories (I'm little shocked I did not think so)
 
Ok sounds good. Lets see where he is at come 1115pm. We don't want to feed him too much right now in case his numbers drop more. We also want to be able to see when his numbers start to hold on their own without needing to be propped up with food.
 
We cross posted there. Okay that's great. He may be slowly rising but it is still a bit too soon to know for sure whether it is because of the food. Withhold food and get another test in 30 minutes.

He has a really great surf going on today. You're doing a good job steering his numbers.
 
Robert, you can delete all of your AM Cycle numbers from your thread title...to make it easier to read and give you space to type in the evening ones. First number of your title could be PMPS.
 
Would you be willing to withhold food for an hour and test him (+6), and then feed him his meal? This will really tell us if henry is going to keep surfing it out at these numbers without food influence, which would be amazing.

Great. No food until we see the +6. What I'm hoping is that he is going to be on the rise, and that you might be able to feed him and we can call it a night. I'm not sure that will happen. But we'll see.
See you at 12:45AM EST.
 
Please buy some more strips tomorrow if you can. I always have at least 100 extra strips on hand. Those are strips that I keep in butters’ hypo toolkit.

Let me give you an inventory of strips on hand:

1) 150 of Nova Max Plus (Human Meter have not use on Henry Yet) - 300 more strips of this brand is on it's way for delivery at my home for a total of 450 strips
2) 60 strips of the PETSURE Brand (Code = 22) that is designed for the AlphaTrak 2 Meter (Have not use these yet on Henry)
3) 70 plus of the AlphaTrak 2 strips - Which is what I've been using thru out this entire process which are populated on the spreadsheet
40 I will transition to the Nova Max Plus at some point, I thought once we had Henry's ideal units of insulin established I would start using the Nova Max Plus meter
 
This is music to my ears. When I saw that you only had 75 AT strips, it occurred to me that’s great for tonight but what about tomorrow and the next day.
 
Every time that I purchased (50) AlphaTrak 2 strips thru CHEWY I always purchased the Kit form (50 strips plus meter plus lancet needles included)

So I think I have (4) AlphaTrak 2 meters, why did I does this because it was only $5.00 more versus strips only

Will depend on his numbers! But remember the reduction does not kick in right away. The depot may still be full.
I’m kinda waiting for henry to bounce. He probably will at some point.

Explain bounce?? what are the factors that would create a BOUNCE
 
There is a detailed explanation that I’m too tired for, but basically when a cat has lower numbers that they aren’t used to, often they will go into higher numbers after they have the lower numbers. Henry did it on 11/24

OK I get that so being Henry dropped to new lows the Bounce could factor in next 24 to 48 hours?
