I wasn’t feeling well yesterday I accidentally went to bed early, woke up to my kitty waking me up for food at 5AM. she seemed fine but I felt so bad. Her ketones were amps 0.4 & I gave the same amount of insulin as before (0.75U) 3 hours later than I was supposed to. Should I also give the same dose in the next PMPS shot? I’ll give SQ fluid to lower ketones soon
 
Are you saying you gave the AMPS dose 3 hours late? If you want to get back to the same time schedule you can do that by shooting 1/4 hour earlier each cycle or 1/2 hour once a day.
Don’t just shoot at the usual time as that would be three hours early and that would be unsafe.

I meant I was suppose to give insulin at 2AM, but since I went to bed early I gave at 5AM which was 3 hours later than the usual time.

Yes stay with the same dose for now.
To move to 7:7 you can move the shot time forward 15 minutes every shot.
So tonight do 5.15pm then in the morning do 5.30am, then next shot 5.45 pm etc until you get to 7:7.
Does that make sense?

@Killua356, what works for me if I need to move the shot times is to use the spreadsheet to plan the moves, so I input the 15 min moves on the spreadsheet for the days in advance to achieve the shot time I want, then I check that to remind myself of when it needs to move to, if that makes sens :).

Thank you, it does make perfect sense. I did exactly that this afternoon on my SS set the alarms as well on my phone :>

I was just about to share w/ you haha. I didn’t give her raw food today bc her blood sugar has been high I was afraid it’d raise bg, so she only ate commerical cans (tiki sardines) & she had diarrhea again :( she definitely needs to be on raw food diet 100%. Her stool was as normal as the other cat who is healthy while she was on raw. I’m still waiting on the taurine powder from iherb once it arrives I’ll give her just raw food only and cut commercial food altogether

I just fed her Roo basics (Kangaroo Muscle Meat, Beef Liver, Beef Kidneys, Beef Spleen, Lamb Heart) with tiny bit of raw offal & mashed pumpkin and she’s eating them voluntarily unlike last time!! This time I seared them slightly only on the outside and gave most of them raw. So happy :’)

Is that from the Raw and Fresh basic pack? Remember that does not have any calcium in it. If you added an 1/8 teaspoon of egg shell powder to every 100 grams of meat you fed, that would be the correct amount of calcium.
Also the Roo is low in fat and cats need more fat than the roo pack has so you would not want to feed that exclusively.
But I am certainly glad she is eating it for you.

yes I remember you told me. That’s why I’m feeding her w other foods not just raw rn (she had almost 3 cans of tiki today this is like nighttime snack for her lol) The offals I added had a bit of bone pieces but ig that’s not enough calcium? After I’m finished with this package I bought from R&F, I will do my own meat shopping and buy the ingredients u told me :>

You could probably use the raw and fresh roo and beef if you added your own egg shell powder. I know the chicken has bone in it so doesn’t need the ESP but the other two need it.

That is quite a drop from 313. Might be worth getting another in a few hours.

kk. Here I was thinking this is higher than I expected since I’m used to her bg being 2 digits around this time ..

The raw meat she was fed might have contributed to her bg drop too. I noticed whenever she was fed raw organ meat her bg dropped, so far in a good way (it’d drop but never too low) When she was on liver shake her bg went down like this as well. Have you experienced this w/ your cats?
