Relatively low morning preshot number to start the FRIDAY after another dive into low number. Hopefully her BG won't get too low today~

Here is the timeline:
19:08 Libre: 121/6.7 insulin:0.5U Food: 20g Fellicita
+1 20:09 Libre: 99/5.5
20:38 Libre: 72/4.0 Food: 25g Fellicita​
+2 21:08 Libre: 52/2.9 Food: 30g Ziwipeak
+3 22:08 Libre: 58/3.2

Hi Diane, @Evey has already done so. :-)

Congrats on the reduction!
 
Evey said:
I think she is probably going to earn another reduction tomorrow. She is at 52/2.9 at +2. I started feeding her higher carb earlier than last night. I hope the food will stall the drop.

She is on a roll. Do you know the carb% of the food you are feeding?

I have no idea. The food I fed to bring up the BG is Ziwipeak Mackerel and Lamb recipe. The label has no information about carb%. But chickpea is listed as the 4th ingredient, not counting water. The last ingredient on the list is dry seaweed. Is it counted as carb?

The regular wet food that i feed her is Fellicita fish and turkey. The label has no information about carb% either. But the ingredient list doesn't have carb.

Sorry, i will add low carb wet food and location into the signature so it's more clear.

At +3.5, She drops to 45/2.5 now. Do you think I should feed her 1 piece of dry food or greenies kibble to bring the BG up?

Sorry I didn't see this earlier! 45 on the Libre? What did you feed?

Cat food companies are not required to list carb%. You can use this carb calculator to get a rough estimate of carb% based on Guaranteed Analysis values on the cat food label. Look at Dry Matter Carbohydrates at the very end.

No worries, I'm so lucky to have you help me.

+4 23:08 Libre: 52/2.9 Handheld meter: 43/2.4 Food: 25g Ziwipeak

This is the latest BG tested by a handheld meter. Her +4.5 is still 52/2.9 on the Libre.

Wow, thank you for sharing this website! It's so useful!
Dry Matter Carbohydrates for Ziwipeak Mackerel and Lamb recipe is 11%. Fellicita fish and turkey is 6%.
 
Bandit's Mom said:
So she has dropped to 43 (with a meter) despite getting 11% carbs every hour from +2?

Not every hour. I fed her Ziwipeak (11% carbs) at 21:08 and 23:08 from +2. It's 2 hours span. She already got all her 100g of food tonight. If she keeps dropping, I would need to overfeed her again, right?

Yes. In cycles like tonight and last night, you want to feed a snack every hour. Even every 20-30 mins if she is below 50 (on the meter). Why not break up the 100gms of food you feed into smaller snacks to be fed every hour?

I didn't think about this. I usually divide the 100g into 4 smaller meals. I feed her 25g with the insulin shot, then feed her according to the BG curve and finish the last meal before +4. I will try this next time.

I think the 55g of the 11% carbs food are finally working. Her BG is up to 76/4.2 at +5. But is it too high?
 
Evey said:
1 hour.
1.5 hour after she ate the 11% food, she is at 4.8 now. It seems the insulin can't hold the BG down after she ate the 11%? Did I fed her too much of the high carbs?

It's okay. You can't spend night after night staying up monitoring her.
 
Good night! You could use the sleep :-)

Since you are following TR, I would not reduce the dose yet. This could still be the 0.75U depot at work. The depot takes 4 cycles to adjust to a reduction and we do not take back-to-back reductions with TR.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me this.

After her BG went up to 110, her BG kept going up and didn't drop. Her preshot number is 146 and I gave her 0.5U. Hopefully she can hold this dose well today.
