Hi everyone

I’ve never shot this low so not sure what to do. Yesterday his dose was increased. Do I wait 30 min and test again before feeding? Our usual routine is I feed him and shoot at the same time.

Thanks for the help in advance

Can you monitor if you shoot? If yes, feed and shoot the full dose. Sometimes stalling without food can cause the numbers to drop further.
Don't fill him up. Feed a part of his breakfast at +1 and +2.

I can take my first two meetings at home if necessary, so can monitor for 4 hours. I will give part breakfast than do I test again before feeding or shoot right away and then test how often?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Just feed now and shoot. No test needed. Feed and test again at +1 and +2 for starters.

No food bump and 30 points lower! You want to give him some MC - what do you have in higher carbs?

we have the following in the cabinet
natural balance chicken and pumpkin 16%
Wellness core 8-12%
Weruva 6-12%
Science diet light kibble 30%

he is most likely to eat the natural balance or kibble as he’s picky

OK. Give him a tsp of the natural balance then and test 20 mins after food or at +2 - whichever is later

Good luck Kelcie, I hope Zyler slows down for you.
Have a safe surf today

 

[kelcie]

gave about a tablespoon of natural balance, tested after 20 min
+2.2 88

What should I be looking for next?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Feed a little LC and test at +3?

ok, will try to see if it’s more appealing than napping

 

[kelcie]

Fed tablespoon of tiki cat and tested after 30 min at +3.25 81

guess I’m not going into the office today, thankful to have the flexibility but I’m too nervous to focus on work anyway

 

[Bandit's Mom]

He's surfing nicely. If he's flat in an hour (+4), you're okay to go to work.

Totally was not expecting that drop as we hadn’t even caught any blues in awhile. Certainly keeping me on my toes.

+4.25 87, thanks for helping me navigate his first greens!

Congrats on shooting your lowest preshot! You did great! Yay for the green

Feed him some more LC and you're good to go to work.

 

[kelcie]

Missed my window to head into work between meetings so just working from home but happy Zyler is still hanging in the greens +5.75 90.

Curious if this cycle is what a good cycle should look like?

Thanks again for everyone’s help today, panic mode for mom but hopefully it gets easier everytime

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes, it's a lovely flat Lantus cycle with him surfing beautiful green!

PMPS 220
Back to numbers we are used to seeing

 

[Bandit's Mom]

He is bound to bounce from green. Some cats go from green to red in a matter of hours - when they are new to greens.
