Okay, we'll check it in half an hour and get back to you then. If you shot China at 50, how often would you test?
Apple tested 118. Will advise # at PM pre shot.
With 14 rescues, keeping an eye on Apple in the mix is daunting. I haven't seen any changes in his behavior, high or low.
I don't know if you saw this reply to your post.."We thought it was after you see greens hold it two more cycles. The question we had was if we did keep shooting lower and lower, how often do you test for a possible hypoglycemic episode? Needless to say, yes we are terrified of shooting lower, but with your advice we with rethink our position. We do want to get him in remission."
It’s hard to know exactly when to test once you’re starting to shoot lower and lower numbers. Every cat is different, they all respond differently so you have to get to know your car and their “typical” patterns. In the morning on work days, I always get a +1-1.5 test before I leave for work and will leave food in the auto feeder for him. If I’m able to come home on my lunch to grab a +6-+7 test, I will, but it’s not always possible. If his BG is lower than normal in the evenings, I get a +1 and +2 and go from there. If he’s dropping quickly or in lower numbers, I feed MC or HC and keep testing for as long as I can until I need to go to bed, then I leave the appropriate carb % of food in the auto feeder. If you’re getting +1, 2, and even 3 and a test before bed, you should be able to avoid hypo events, because you should be able to catch any big or fast drops, and feed accordingly. It’s hard to give an exact answer, you just have to experiment with your tests and food and figure out what your cats patterns are and what foods work when needing to get BG up. I hope that helps a little.
