04/10 Ivana OTJ trial day 8 AMBG=49, PMBG=113 noooooo! +3=56 phew!

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Yesterday's day 7

Dear Ivana, just letting you know that even though you have a light green number this morning, you don't get any more reductions. Ok ok you can have a treat instead. Love from Mummy xxx

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Did you think about reaching for the HC? With all the lows Ivana gave you when she was on insulin, I would have guessed she was a "low rider".

Congrats on day 8 - over the hump!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Did you think about reaching for the HC?

I had to do a double-take and remind myself that it's not possible to go too low on your own insulin! I did, however, give her a 9 carb breakfast (she usually gets 0-5ish), purely because there was a pouch in the cupboard that needed using and now was as good a time as any to crack it open. And, of course, she didn't want that flavour this morning

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Gah pressed reply too early...

I would have guessed she was a "low rider".

That might be why we never saw any hypo symptoms from her, even when she was <20.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Happy Day 8! Isn't it nice to not have to worry about a number like that.

 

[Shoeskitty-GA]

Keep on going Ivana!

 

[Gill & George]

49!! Really!!!
I think she remembered light green=more fuds, no one's told her the rules have changed

Happy day 8

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Congratulations on day 8!

 

[Doodles & Karen]

I stalked her SS earlier and saw that 49 Looking good Ivana...just a few more days little girl.

 

[granadilla]

Ivana is trying to play mind games with you by giving you a 49. She was hoping you'd panic and give her some yummy high carb fuds. We're on to you, Ivana!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

You guys are probably right you know - It's been a while since Mummy gave me any of that yummy high-carb food, maybe I'll just freak her out a little and make her crack open a whole new tin that I'll only be able to have 2t of and the rest will be wasted, but it will be worth it!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

hehehe she's wanting you to break out the good gravy stuff!

congrats on day 8! So glad you've made it here, Ivana!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

So both of Ivana's BGs today were either side of greens - light green this morning, and blue this evening. Is that just a coincidence, or might the blue be a bounce from the light green, if that's even possible to bounce from your own insulin? She also hasn't eaten that much today, if that might have made a difference. Anyway she's hoeing into her dinner now, once I added the magic ingredient (a sprinkle of nooch), and we'll retest in a few hours.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Don't panic. That's still a normal number. Cats can bounce off of their own insulin. I'm sure she'll come back down by the next test.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

She might come back down after eating . Try testing 2 hours afterwards. As Carla says 113 is still a normal number.

 

[Shoeskitty-GA]

Hang in there! Ivana, stop scaring Tara! You can do this!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

That's still a normal number.

I thought greens were the normal numbers?

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Wow what a day from one extreme to the other. This tread has reminded me that cats can bounce from their own insulin. I had forgotten that. Keep up the good work Ivana!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

You can do this!

I'm counting on it, because I've already ordered the bottle of champagne to have on Day 14

 

[Shoeskitty-GA]

I think that you will be popping that cork!!!

 

[Amy&TrixieCat]

That 113 is still normal!! You can retest a couple hours after food to see if she drops. Happy Day 8!!!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Ok we're back on track with 56 at +3

 

[Peg and Toby]

Glad to see her coming back down. Over half way there.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I thought greens were the normal numbers?

Normal numbers are 80 - 120. Although some cats do run lower, as Ivana is showing you.

 

[Chrys & Stomper]

Happy to see she is back on track!

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

Happy that she came back down on her own!

 

[Gill & George]

Ivana is just messing with the beans

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Congratulations on Day 8!!!!

 

[jayla-n-Drevon]

she has to keep you on your toes

 

[MollynSkooter]

Way to gooooooooo Ms. I!!!!!!!

Keep it up, Skooter won't stop talking about your upcoming party!

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Day eight...and let's just bury that darker shade of green number!
