So Billo was in the greens all night, but she dropped a little this morning where her AMPS is 68.

Here's what I did:

+4: I fed her LC FF because I figured that she wasn't too low for me to feed her M/HC.
+5: her BG rose to 100
+8: Fed her LC again, this is her usual meal time in the morning (around 5 am). I tested her shortly after and she was at 82.
AMPS: 68

So she dropped a little between +8 and AMPS. I'm sort of inclined to feed her 1-2 tsp of M/HC to keep her from falling any further below the sixties. Does this entail a dose reduction, or what are your guys' thoughts?

Thank you!
 
Billo's doing great on the Lantus!! She cleared that bounce quickly and got right back to business!! And yes she has earned a reduction on SLGS. With that 68 I would take her down to 2 units but let us see what others think as well. If the reduction doesn't hold you can always go back up again. Great job feeding the curve as well!

Hold the dose for at least a week:
  • Unless your cat won’t eat or you suspect hypoglycemia
  • Unless your kitty falls below 90 mg/dL (5 mmol/L). If kitty falls below 90 mg/dL (5 mmol/L) decrease the dose by 0.25 unit immediately.
 
Thanks guys!!

She dropped down to the 40s earlier today but has been on the rise ever since. She began surfing in the 60s around +7-9 but has risen again since then.
Her PMPS is 124.

There’s no need to skip her dose or anything like that because she has risen again right?

Thanks again guys! :)
 
Just a reminder with SLGS we recommend you do not shoot under 90, just wanted to clarify since there are a lot of new members. You are just beginning to collect data, so please be cautious with lower preshots until you get a sense of how the insulin is working. You did today, and that's how the cycle played out.

You’re right. I should have been more cautious this morning. I’ll make an effort to be more aware

Oh gosh no, not a criticism, you're doing fine! I'm sorry I can be a little brief in my messages! We have some people who lurk and don't ask for help like you do, so I just wanted to clarify SLGS method ;)

Yes, take the reduction to 1.75 units.
Get a +1 and +2 to start.

What are you studying if you don't mind me asking?

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye on her.

I just graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology this summer. I'm taking some extra Biology and Chemistry courses for credit this semester :)

Congratulations. University is so different now because of the virus. Are you allowed on campus for labs?

Thank you :) Yes we are only allowed on campus for labs, but they're taking extra precautions to ensure safety and respect COVID regulations. The rest of the lectures have been completely online, it has been an adjustment but I hope things get better soon!
