We only suggest a +8-+9 LC snack when a kitty is on very tiny doses, think under 0.25 units, and clearly with a sputtering pancreas. Any snack after nadir on higher doses is more likely to shorten the insulin duration, and give you higher preshots. That might explain the blue PMPS. After nadir, the insulin effect is starting to slow down. Jill once gave me the analogy of a car slowing down towards a stop sign with the foot off the gas. If you give carbs at this point (put your foot on the brakes), you come to a stop before that stop sign. With a recently DKA cat, we do encourage multiple small meals, so giving one after nadir may make sense to make sure he's getting enough calories. Try to make sure any snack after nadir has as low carbs as possible.

Thanks Wendy. He actually didn't have a snack last night like he usually does, he was heavy sleeping from his +5.5 through to +11 on a rainy day here. So I'm not sure why the higher PMPS? It's still low 100s, which is wonderful.
 
Even with a PMPS that is just slightly out of the green zone he is doing so well, it is amazing.

It's really really good for his poor little body and pancreas, after having been through DKA. I suspect that PMPS will come down at some point, maybe after he spends some more cycles in mostly greens. He just made a huge breakthrough so I suppose we need to be patient!
 
Hi Alli, this is the best news to watch Smudge respond so well. His numbers are incredible :D! He must feel so good.
I hope you are also feeling better.
Loving watching Smudge kick butt. Great job, Mom.
Enjoy your day :bighug:

Finally a little better today, it was brutal for 2 days. A ton of sinus pressure and going through a lot of tissues. Finally slept well last night which helped a ton I think.

If I squint, it's green right? ;) Patience is key, but now as everyone said, I'm addicted to the greens!

Seems like Smudge is liking this dose! And the pictures you have in his SS are adorable!

He seems to really love it! And thank you! I figured I'd put them there so everyone can see he's not just a tongue-out blep boy (even though he is a lot of the time). :cat:

Thank you Kit & Staci! It's wonderful seeing him FEEL good!! :D
 
@Suzanne & Darcy you see this cat's progress? After only a month! Alli, the CG, is really doing great. She's unable to get many tests in the PM cycle unfortunately due to circumstances outside of her control but she still dove into TR and what great results!

The sheet reminds me a LOT of Hendrick's sheet, but more like 3-4 months after Dx, ha.

Yes! Totally amazing. Wow, I hope he's on a mission. Alli, you are really to be commended for diving into everything like this and doing so much testing. Look at all those greens! I hope Smudge feels much better now in those lower numbers.
