Good Day;

Well off to another day...I will be doing checks on Chirpie @ +4, +8 and PMPS.

Today was:

AMPS: 459
2 units of Lantus

Please remember to link your condo from the previous day: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36709

While I don't disagree with your increasing Chirpie's dose, you really, really need to start getting PM spot checks. Many cats' numbers are lower during the PM cycle. Even if all you can get is a before bed test, that will help. Right now, you are missing half of your data.
 
As the people here have said, it's important that you test and provide valuable information on what the insulin is doing for Chirpie. I see you do your shots at 10am/10pm. It's not uncommon, especially to help determine the right dose, to do some overnight tests if at all possible. If you stay up late, a +3 test would be helpful, and a +6 test even better. I know that means getting up at 4am, been there done it, but it's invaluable information. Same during the day, get those extra tests in. It will pay off down the road. The people here can't offer advice on Chirpie's insulin requirements without the data. I hope that makes sense.

She will not bet more regulated if you just test and shoot +12's. Also, you don't always see the immediate effects with lantus, that's why with the increase, over the next few runs, you need some test data.

Have you tested for keto's again. With high numbers like that is VERY important. Make a note in your log when you have.
 
Hi Susan,
I'm just stopping in to say hi, and hang in there. The tests are vital, it's true. Chirpie is adorable, by the way, and I love her name. She must be such a sweetie! She will get used to the tests, just be sure to follow the test immediately with something Chirpie loves- a FD chicken treat, extra pets, playtime, a bit of food, whatever she's into. It will help her accept the "extra attention" she's getting. When I first started, I used to sing to my cat so that he couldn't tell how nervous I was! :lol: Good luck!
 
I will do a +3 test and at +6 test for PMPS..

Her PMPS is the highest she has ever been...this really concerns me. I have not done a ketone test on her, but will when I see her go to the box.
This is very discouraging. She has acted really good today, ate well. I am not sure what to do, is she on the right insulin?

Chirpie and Chaos look alike!
 
when did u stop the dry food? exactly... 3 days 4 days?
do you have her numbers from before? were they in the 4-500'S
 
nice you got an overnight test in :)

Are you feeding Chirpie 5.5oz at each feeding? So total 11oz a day? If so, that's alot of food....it may help with the bg's if you split the feedings into smaller portions throughout the day, and not so much.

How much does Chirpie weigh?
