Good morning all,

So there it is, our flight has departed yesterday with some more fuel on board,
Small Kitty got a quarter unit increase. I don't like flying visual (no instruments)
but it's all I can do right now. Levemir has a bad timing to know what a dose is doing.
Being able to wake-up at 3 or 4 at the morning I would know but I would pay the
price for the hole day. Some are doing it everyday, raise my hat to them, must be
very courageous.

So let's hope the new fuel load brings Small Kitty to a grass runway with no red light
needing to hit the break or at least a blue water front for ditching.

Enjoy your day.

Sébastien

Thank's in advance for being there Carla your support is greatly appreciated.

Wish you have a wonderful day :bighug:

The SS says AMPS is 374. You have 281 in your subject line. I think SK came down a little yesterday and then bounced all night. I hope he slides down slowly today and you come home to a lower number. I hope you have a great day too.

Thanks for correcting me for the subject line Carla, my mistake.

What I don't like about Levemir (that could be something good) is that every test,
without exception, are all higher then preshot :(. I finally decided to stop testing
before sleep, it's too discouraging.

SK is certainly difficult to figure out - Carla could be right - a few cats have very late nadirs
I agree with you about being astonished at those that routinely get up in the middle of the night to get a test in - I could never go back to sleep
have a great day

I wonder if SK's nadir on Levemir is around pre-shot time.

It's what it should be with Levemir. ECID but I've seen a blue at preshot. The case being, Small Kitty
was really due for an increase. I love flush doses, there is no fear of going to high or to low.

Nadir straight at preshot would be nice, the kick up by food would avoid killing the insulin
effect in the middle of the cycle. Even with LC, the quarter can at +5 might be what's bringing
up SL.

Quite tricky this kitty, needs lots of attention.

Thanks for your help !

Hey Sebastien, I hope this new dose will kick in and that SK starts working it.

Bubba and Wendy's Neko were both Late Nadir kitties. Although he wasn't prior to Lev but they can change their nadir when ever they want to because it's in their manual.:rolleyes: Bubba always was a late nadir cat until the last time on insulin and he changed it to mid cycle. That is a possibility as to what is going on with SK. @Wendy&Neko , what do think Wendy?
 
Jack has moved around his nadir a few times since starting Lev about 10 months ago. It is sure frustrating at times trying to keep up. Jack and SK are both charting their own path. Hope SK starts figuring out the altimeter and starts to descend a bit for you.

Yeah, Jack seems to be a good swing dance performer, sad he's a ''he'', Small Kitty would be a good partner :)

Late nadir cats have late nadirs, unless they don't. :p Neko's nadir was generally late (+9 to +12) on Levemir, except for the times it ranged from +5 to +15. The nadir is the lowest point in any one cycle. You can't set an alarm and expect the same time of day is the nadir all the time.

I think SK's nadir moves around a bit too. The night of March 3rd is a good example, of when I think the AM nadir was after +12, ie. into the next cycle. It was a bounce breaking cycle. A couple days later, 3/5, the AM nadir was probably somewhere between AM+6 and AM+12.

If you go to bed before +4 at night, you are probably going to sleep before SK's onset, unless he's having one of those days of long duration like he had on 3/3. But I still found some value in getting a test before bed. If it wasn't up much from Neko's preshot, then it was more likely to be an active cycle. Her onset was at +5, so most of the time I wasn't up for it either. But I started to recognize what the data was telling me, and when I need to get up at +9 in the night.
 
Wendy.... This is the most valuable information to try explaining that mess.
I think that you're right, Small Kitty over passes the runway once in a while, like
tonight. He was due to land at +9 but overshoot and has just landed.

I shot because I know Lev will take effect way later, the ''dead hole'' is a good
trap of air for bounces. In an hour Small Kitty will be up in the sky, 100% sure.
HC is on hands but it's not going to be needed, Small Kitty is a pro at aborted
landing / go around. He found a good spot on a lake tonight :)

Thanks again for your help, will keep this on records for future explanation
when it seems there isn't.
