Nice start considering a 3 hour delay, reduced dose AND a solid run of blues yesterday.
He's pretty flat from last night's cycle. Might want to keep an EXTRA eye on him today ;)

Yes, I am! Lol

I saw this similar pattern on 03/17, where he floated yellow overnight and then on 03/18 he coasted blues and yellows, but he's always keeping me on my toes! I told him that I prefer tap over ballet, and to be nice!!
 
Good morning @Angela & Cleo !

I'm supposed to go back 30 minutes this morning, but thinking about shooting the same time I did last night and then moving his PMPS back ( as long as h is number is up).

The +5 was at 2 a.m., and he had LC dry,

I forgot to set my alarm for +7, the 3 hour delay has got me screwy because of the time.

I fed MC at +9, so I assume the 87 is a good bump.

If he's 100 or higher, I could feed HC at injection, and monitor.
 
The 3 hour delay would have any one screwy, I know I've beenthere o_O. I think shooting 12 hours from PMPS is a good idea, provided Sly is high enough to shoot. What is your No Shoot number?
Looks like he's starting to come up a bit. How long before amps?

If AMPS is the same time as last night, we have about 40 minutes. I have never shot a green, so 99 or lower is my current no shoot! Lol

I'm a little more comfortable during the day. I didn't consider a few factors when delaying that 3 hours, the overnight cycle falling later and the food schedule.

He had MC Friskies and dry at +9.5 ish when I caught the 72.

I hate to BCS twice in a week, but do you think I should and then just resume normal 7pm for PMPS tonight? Otherwise I'm just pushing time back again, and changing the feeding schedule, which I think could be at play. I want to see what the darn 5 units does, I'm not ready for a third reduction in 1 week.

A BCS is shooting a reduced dose, 50% or less. To be honest, I don't know how that would affect the schedule of the next shot.

Others here may disagree but, If it were me, I would skip and resume my normal shot time tonight and feeding schedule throughout today. Sly recovered quite quickly from the last skip.

Ok, for some reason I thought BCS was a skip during Bounce Clearing cycles.

My other thought is I can skip, and if he's high an hour before normal time, I could shoot at 6pm and either stay there, or close the gap in time. I may need to stay at 6pm so catching a +6 or 8 is more "doable". His nadir hasn't been consistent the last week or so!

Yeah, I know, I definitely think he's starting to require less insulin.

The fact that he's slowly losing weight is good, that is the objective, so that's the only reason I'm being overly cautious. I need to know what the dose is doing on his regular feeding plan, as opposed to continually feeding his number up. Does that make sense?

ABSOLUTELY!

It makes perfect sense! Any changes in diet can and probably will effect insulin needs. We want our cats regulated but IMO the primary objective is to get them there SAFELY.

It actually stands for "BCS Dose - big chicken sh*t dose". See this link to the FDMB slang dictionary LOL http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/lantus-levemir-land-slang-dictionary.1903/

Oh Elvis Christ!!

That's hilarious! I'm ok with that title!

I am a risk taker by nature with MYSELF, but not when shooting 5 units of insulin into my precious boy..:cat:

Like I said the other day, I have total respect for anyone that can do it, but I have my limits.

The bigger part is just getting him to the right dose, that delay and closing the gap, diet, he's much more active, etc. are all roadblocks at the moment.

I'm going to skip and plan to shoot at 6 pm. Then I'm going to hold the time, because I can monitor up to +7 at night without an alarm, and then test at +9 3am snack.

I can always shoot in mornings and go back to bed for an hour, if I need the sleep. Not a big deal to me.

I feel the same way :). Its one of the reasons I had tagged other members a couple of days back about how much of a reduction to take when you were at 5.5 units.

I think that's a great plan. Sly technically didn't earn a reduction to your modified SLGS reduction point, but maybe more experienced members can shed some light if you should take one anyway to 4.75.
