Ok. She is 3.4
I think I would feel a bit more comfortable if Ivana was just a bit higher because I don't think we have got to nadir yet, so maybe if you could give her a teaspoon of 22 carb again...I don't want to fill her up too much in case we need her to eat later. Thx:)

I know - I can't believe she is letting us do everything. She really is getting used to being poked and prodded lately. Although I did get a couple of growls this evening, but I think that was because I was super-stressed and probably taking it out on her.
 
very likely when I am really stressed I lean back in the rocking chair and rock Magellan.. I think he likes it?? But yes your fur baby is being very, very good
 
Ok that is good!
I think we can stop feeding her now and see how she going on her own without any food.
I think I would keep testing every half hour til the nadir time ...better to be on the cautious side after what has happened.
If she drops at all we will need to give her some more food
 
No problem I can do that. I'm still wide awake so no issue to keep going all night! I don't expect you to stay up though if you wouldn't otherwise.

I will be up for a bit longer...am still feeding Sheba....she got a bit neglected tonight I am afraid.
When you get a chance Tara, can you add all the tests into the SS. The SS should just expand to accommodate the data I think. Thanks
You both did really well tonight....it must have been frightening for you.
 
Poor Sheba, sorry to monopolise mum tonight. I will update the ss shortly, if you have a look tomorrow let me know if I've added it correctly.

Sheba doesn't mind at all.....she knew I was helping her buddy Ivana!

Thanks for doing the SS. It will be much easier for our wonderful dosing ladies to see what has happened overnight if the SS is filled in.
 
I have no answer to that.. but then neither did or does Magellan. Also when Magellan went supper low 1.6 he became very insulin sensitive so you might want to be aware of this as well.

So when Ivana got super-low tonight, how come she didn't show any signs?

Who knows....some cats seem to and others don't. Sheba dropped to 1.6 (29) the other day and didn't show any signs either. It doesn't mean it wasn't an emergency situation. She could have started to show signs at any time.
We were just very very lucky to get her back up without a trip to the vet, I think.
 
Wow! Looks like all the honey and HC is working big time.
I think it would be safe enough to test in an hour if you are happy with that. What do you think?
 
She will probably bounce after such a low number, so don't be worried if her numbers go up high. It is her bodies reaction to the low number. Sheba is still bouncing from her 29 a couple of days ago.
 
I remember the first time Sheba dropped really low ....it was the first time she had to have insulin...and I had not heard of the forum. I tested her and it was one point something....I can't remember the number but it was low. I tried to put honey on Sheba's gums and it got everywhere, my heart was thumping out of my chest. I grabbed her and raced to the vet and when we got there her BS had risen to acceptable levels. I had obviously given her enough honey....and she rises quickly with honey (usually)

I would get the next test ..that will be +6.5...is that right?
If that is not lower than the last one you should be OK.
If it is lower I would test again. If it drops a lot you will need to give more food

If it were me, I would get the next test and if it is OK ...I would set the alarm for 2 hours later and just test again to make sure she was OK ( unless she is skyrocketing with a bounce). The reason I would do that is just in case she dips again

Give Ivana a big hug from me and tell her I think she has been a really super duper girl tonight.
And here are some hugs for you and Darryn:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Yes 6.5 is the next one. Will see what it is and set the alarm accordingly.
Darryn has gone to bed as he's working tomorrow, so it's just me, Ivana, and bad tv.
 
OK. I might head off to bed then. I think you should be OK now.
Nightie night.
Hope you can manage to get some sleep too. It can be hard to settle down after a night like this!
