I’m still picking my jaw up from the floor after seeing a BG of 27 at PMPS+1.5.

@Bandit's Mom Simba didn’t wait around for the +3

@tiffmaxee thank you for instructing me through this!

So is Simba's new dose 1.25 units? His AMPS is the lowest pre-shot I’ve seen from him.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

We have been discussing this. I did not expect that low an AMPS! How are you faring sleep-wise?

 

[Lina and Simba]

I could use another nap or five! But apart from doing the +8 test last night I got some sleep.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I think we need to drain the depot this morning. I think you should skip and then give 1.25 tonight. That way you can get some rest as well. You have been sick and it will be best for both of you.

 

[Lina and Simba]

I think we need to drain the depot this morning. I think you should skip and then give 1.25 tonight.

So a no shot morning for Sim?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

So a no shot morning for Sim?

Nope. The depot will still be at play though.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Since the depot will effect this morning if you shoot, and you have an amps of 67, I don’t think it’s safe to give insulin this morning.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I’d get a test 3 hours after he eats this morning.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

@tiffmaxee Feed higher carbs for the first couple of hours though? 10-14%?

 

[tiffmaxee]

@tiffmaxee Feed higher carbs for the first couple of hours though? 10-14%?

No. Feed low carb because you won’t be giving insulin.

 

[Lina and Simba]

Okay. I just fed him 55grams in total, LC. Should I check back in an hour and feed some MC?

 

[tiffmaxee]

No. I would not feed mc. I want to see what happens with lc only at +3. If the pancreas is sputtering and starting to revive the bg will not go up. If really hungery test and feed at +2 instead of +3.

 

[Lina and Simba]

No. I would not feed mc. I want to see what happens with lc only at +3. If tge pancreas is sputtering and starting to revive the bg will not go up.

Okay. So I will be back with an update at +3. I hope Simba’s pancreas is coming out of hibernation!

I think he’s still pretty tanked up after last nights food feast so waiting until +3 shouldn’t be a problem.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I’ll be asleep for your +3 but will check back when I wake up.

 

[Lina and Simba]

+3 86.
Now Simba is yelling in the kitchen like he’s never seen food before. 25grams of 7.3% in his tummy. What time should I check his BG again?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Since you skipped, no need to check till PMPS. Get some sleep!

Feed lowest carbs.

 

[Lina and Simba]

Feed lowest carbs.

Alright, I’ll feed the stinky 1.6% for the rest of the day. Might sneak a test in somewhere in the day out of curiosity

I'm beginning to think you like the stink!
I am sure you will sneak in a test. We get addicted to it.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Simba is looking great. I hope you can get some naps in today and feel better soon. Sending prayers.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Squeeze those five naps in today, Lina! Rest and recover.

Just a note so that you know (in case you have to skip another shot in the future)...

AMPS = A.M.Pre-Shot
AMBG = A.M. Blood Glucose

When you don't shoot insulin you use the terms "AMBG" or "PMBG" in your title instead of "AMPS" or "PMPS", because it's not a pre-shot number when you don't shoot. And then you don't have to write "skipped shot" in your thread title.

 

[Lina and Simba]

I actually can't stand it at all. I tested at +7 but now I'll give Simba a break until the evening.

 

[Lina and Simba]

Thank you! Instead of napping I went out for a nice frosty walk. I feel better today

Simba let me sleep until 11 today so I took advantage of a couple hours free from testing and went for a walk! Will nap before this upcoming night, I start back with uni work tomorrow...

I fixed the title

 

[JaxBenji]

Hi Lina! so glad you got some rest and did something for yourself today Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

 

[tiffmaxee]

I’m glad you got a much needed break. Great numbers after going low and a skip.

 

[Sue and Luci]

WOWSER! Hope you can get some rest!

 

[Lina and Simba]

I’ve had quite a relaxing day, thank you all!

Taking PMPS guesses

My guess is 94. If it’s under 100 you will need to go back to feeding the 14-26% at +1. Even with a skip he might be more sensitive to insulin with that drop to 27. Because of that I am thinking about tonight’s dose.

I've stocked up on some 31%. Lots of gravy! I know Simba will inhale it in seconds, it beats the z/d pate.
If it's <100 I would shoot the 1.25 units, correct?

 

[Lina and Simba]

PMPS 101. So just over that 100 mark! Do you think 1 unit would be enough? What should I feed him? @tiffmaxee

 

[tiffmaxee]

Sorry. I was helping a very sick cat. I’m debating between 1.0 and 1.25. How about a skinny 1.25?

 

[Lina and Simba]

Sorry. I was helping a very sick cat. I’m debating between 1.0 and 1.25. How about a skinny 1.25?

No worries! Would that be between 1 and 1.25? Should I feed him LC?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes between. Feed the 14% to start.

 

[Lina and Simba]

Yes between. Feed the 14% to start.

Tried my best to measure the skinny 1.25. May have been closer to 1, but we will see! Back in an hour for PMPS+1? Or should I test sooner in case of a sudden plunge?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Better a little less than more. Good job. How about a test in 45 minutes?

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Simba is really showing those nice greens, good luck with the skinny dose
He's a beautiful kitty

Thank you! I hope his SS looks like Tyler's one day ginger cats are the best!

 

[Lina and Simba]

45 minutes later he's at 92.

 

[tiffmaxee]

That’s good. Feed a little more of what you last gave and test in an hour.

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Thank you! I hope his SS looks like Tyler's one day ginger cats are the best!

I hope so too. It took him a little over 2 years to get to where he is today
Wishing Simba all the best but best

That is incredible dedication paying off!

 

[Lina and Simba]

+2 95. The 14% is keeping him steady.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I think you can test in 2 hours. Feed the same. Are you doing okay?

 

[Lina and Simba]

I think you can test in 2 hours. Feed the same. Are you doing okay?

Yes that sounds good! Just to make sure I understood correctly - feed in 2 hours as well, not now? I’m okay, fighting off some nausea. Simba is sleeping by my feet so it’s easy for me to test him.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Oops. Feed now. Try and nap.

 

[Lina and Simba]

+4 113. I think all that MC has worked its job. Simba seems quite satisfied asleep by my side. Should I feed anything now? Check back at +8?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Don’t wake her. I think she’s good. Well done you too. Get the +8 just in case.

 

[Lina and Simba]

+8 97. Sleeping until the next AMPS now

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Simba has you on a very wild ride with his intense cycles. You're doing such a great job keeping up with the testing and feeding.

He likes to keep it interesting... very interesting
