? 2/3 Luna OTJ! AMPS 86

I chose to read your post randomly and wanted to say congrats on starting the OTJ trial! I can't share as it has been too long since I've had to find them. I also see you are from MN .. so am I. :)

If you want the instructions, add OTJ ? in the title. It should grab more eyes and get you what you are looking for. :cat:
 
It does look like she’s ready for a trial. I’ll get you the directions when I get on my computer.
 
OTJ Trial instructions?

  • Start the trial on the next green pre shot.
  • If she is green at your normal test times, no need to test further until the next "PS" time; just feed small meals and go about your day. If she is blue at your normal "PS", feed a small meal and test again after about 3 or 4 hours. If her number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then the pancreas is working!
  • Post every day so we can monitor your progress and see if any tweaks are needed. Be sure you include “OTJ Trial Day xx” in your subject line with the “xx” being the day of the trial.
  • She may have a sporadic blue number. Don't panic but post before you decide whether to shoot so we can have a discussion.
  • After 14 days of no insulin, we have a party!!
Sometimes the trial doesn't work the first time and we have to give a little more support in the form of resuming insulin. It's not the end of the world if that happens; we just give her the support needed. Our goal is a strong remission and it's better to take our time to get that than to rush into remission just to have it fail later on.

Once she is through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to change her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), test her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

Hi Elise just gave her the instructions :cat:
Elise can you explain to me why you think she is ready for OTJ Trial with quite a blue pre shots and blues during the cycles
I thought you were supposed to shoot 0.25 for 7 days, then 0.1 for 7 days and then a drop dose for 7 days for a strong remission,like I did with Tyler
@tiffmaxee
Thanks I'm just trying to understand why
Is it because she is using a pet meter and normal range is 68-150?

She reduced to a drop and then no shot. We could call it a food trial as well. Luna was under 68 and earned a reduction since she’s using an AT. ECID. THeres a cat here tha5 just might go from 2.0 to OTJ. I could be wrong.
 
Please post daily. Today is OTJ TRIAL DAY 4 hours if green this morning 2/4 please continue testing at Ambg and pmbg. Get another test at +3-4 if blue. Good luck.
