She did great last night.

She did great last night.

Just a few weeks ago Snuggles was all over the board..can you believe she’s come this far in this short amount of time? I’m hoping when I go back to work she stays consistent.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

She certainly has made her move quickly! Well done, Sandy and Snugs! When do you go back?

Thursday..so I still have a few days before the stress kicks in!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Morning Sandy, Snugs did great last night ! She sure has come a long way and you're doing such a great job with her. Can't wait to see how she does today

 

[sandysh66]

Thank you!

 

[sandysh66]

Another reduction? @Bandit's Mom @tiffmaxee thoughts?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes. Every drop below 90 is a reduction with SLGS.

 

[sandysh66]

Yes. Every drop below 90 is a reduction with SLGS.

Is it common to get back to back reductions when it’s only been about a month since diagnosis? @tiffmaxee

 

[sandysh66]

I know you said back to back reductions aren’t usually successful. I did feed MC food each time. @tiffmaxee

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Congrats on yet another reduction

 

[tiffmaxee]

When following SLGS any drop under 90 means a reduction has been earned, even if back to back. It is true that more times than not you will need to go back up in a week but sometimes they stick. I would try to feed slightly higher carbs to avoid a back to back reduction. That being said some cats hit the magic dose and fly down the dosing scale.

I’m good feeding higher carbs but then what happens when I’m working and she drops? She won’t eat out of the auto feeder and won’t eat food my husband gives her..she hisses and growls at him.

 

[tiffmaxee]

She doesn’t get really hungry in lower bg?

 

[sandysh66]

She doesn’t get really hungry in lower bg?

No she doesn’t seem to be..earlier I had to hold the dish and coerced her to eat.

 

[sandysh66]

Is there an AMPS or PMPS number where I shouldn’t give insulin? @Suzanne & Darcy

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Well you can shoot anything 90 and above with SLGS.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Seems like you’re getting awfully close.

 

[sandysh66]

Seems like you’re getting awfully close.

Hopefully BS won’t drop too low tonight!

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I hope not, but at least you have a little more time before you return to work. We can see what she’s up to. She’s got a plan!!!

Well +3 89

 

[sandysh66]

Well +3 89

Will Snugs be ok with just the LC food as snacks? @Bandit's Mom

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Well +3 89

I guess it's another reduction unless someone comes on and tells you otherwise

 

[sandysh66]

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Another reduction. She’s on a mission!

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

You want to get a +4 and go to bed? You can decide what you want to feed her.

 

[sandysh66]

Another reduction. She’s on a mission!

She’s keeping me on my toes…+4 90. Should I give LC or a little MC?

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Lc will help her surf in green. Mc may bump her up a little. Either way, I don’t see her dropping low. She’s surfing now.

 

[sandysh66]

+4 90…I will give a MC snack and set alarm for +6.5?

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Do you know what percentage of carbs your MC food is?

 

[sandysh66]

Lc will help her surf in green. Mc may bump her up a little. Either way, I don’t see her dropping low. She’s surfing now.

What’s your recommendation? Which snack and when should I retest?

 

[sandysh66]

Do you know what percentage of carbs your MC food is?

MC is 15%

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

+4 90…I will give a MC snack and set alarm for +6.5?

This seems a very reasonable plan!

 

[sandysh66]

This seems a very reasonable plan!

Ok! Thank you Suzanne!

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

The MC hasn’t made her go high lately when you’ve given it - like today. But she did well on it.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Ok! Thank you Suzanne!

Way to go, Sandy!!!
