? 12/6 Henry PMBG 65 +13.5 91 + 14.5 76 + 15 77 +17.5 63 +18.5 75 +19.5 75

I want to verify that at the AMPS if Henry is below 90, he should still receive a 3.75 dose, right? Then we continue to test him every hour or should it be every 30 minutes?

You’ve been at this a while and so, if you are comfortable, I’d shoot anything above 90. Be sure and get a +1 and a +2. There are a lot of people that could help you but mornings can be hectic for the people that are working.

If he gives you a number below 90, stall without feeding and test every 20-30 mins and shoot the rise above 90 with 3.75u.

Chris the last bg reading of +18.5 (75) could have ticked up due to being fed an hour early

it's still a nice safe number and you haven't given any more insulin in over 19 hours so the chance that he'd drop back down under 50 are slim and none (and I'm betting on none)

That's why I said you could leave a little low carb food down for him if you're concerned

Not dropping any more. He will be fine. Take a break, Robert. You must be exhausted.
Feed him a tsp of the lowest carb you have - if it will worry you less :-)

I've never personally experienced such a prolonged depot action! Bandit hasn't been on such a high dose.
I know it's exhausting, but Henry is doing so well! You don't want to lose momentum. Sorry if I am adding to the pressure you feel!

I've been here only a year and more people here follow TR now, but from what I've read, SLGS was the method that was followed before TR came along and cats did go into remission with SLGS. I think TR gives the cat more opportunity to stay in lower numbers which helps.

Why not worry about this on another day? Who knows what will work for Henry? And these decisions are not set in stone. Once you get comfortable in lower numbers and have more data to understand how Henry behaves in lower numbers, you can always switch to TR.

Now off to bed. AMPS is but a couple of hours away! :-)
