Jan 4. Dosing advice Lily AMPS 135 122@+1 125+2

Can you monitor today? If you can, I would shoot. With Lantus, consistency helps. Shoot low to stay low.

She will probably head lower today. You could always stall and test again in 20 minutes.

It boils down to whether you can monitor.

Let me check her again. I will be here all day and monitor though.

She is 134. So I should give her the full .5?

LOL! Thanks, sure hope it stays like this all day. A little weary this morning about dosing but she seems to be doing well.
 
Congrats on shooting. It’s actually the only way to get her OTJ successfully. When you skip she bounces and she’s like a yo-yo. Normal numbers on a human meter are 50-100. Cats not on insulin often range under 100. It’s scary but you are going to have to get used to shooting those greens. Prep yourself and know that when it happens we will be here to guide you.
Have you looked at many spreadsheets? Here’s one of a cat almost ready for an OTJ trial. Look at her 2020 ss and the 2021.

Wow, that is impressive! Thanks Elise.
 
Clarification: the normal feline BG reference range as measured on a human meter is 50-120mg/dL. The longer a cat on insulin runs in the 50-99 range, the greater the chance of achieving remission.

Now that you're posting on the Lantus board, Sally, I'll be stepping back because with my PTSD I find the busyness of this board overwhelming and it makes me panic.

I wish yourself and Lily the very best and, fingers 'n' paws crossed, smooth and steady progress to a strong remission.

(((Sally and Lily)))

Oh no, I will be back to the health board. I appreciate all you have done for Lily and I. :bighug::bighug:

I’ve read 50-100 and 50-120. I’ve also seen 50-80. They are all rough estimates.

So she is in yellows now but that's okay. Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. Try not to look back at where she was but rather stick with following TR and keep asking for help:). Ask lots of questions. You're in really great hands here, including with dosing advice. :bighug:

I strongly urge you to post on the LBL forum and not on Main Health. The Main Health forum is very, very busy with new members and we need members like Mogs to focus their attention on giving support to them as she did you when you were new:). It’s the place to learn the basics but you’ve got that down so you and Lily will better benefit from the advanced expertise in the LBL forum.

Insofar as the discussion on normal numbers on human meters, Elise is correct that there have been different ranges referenced. Tilly’s states the normal range is 50-80. The goal is for the BG to be under 100 most of the time.
