I’ll take all advice I can get. She’s so all over the place with bounces. So being at these numbers and starting the new meter I panicked
I’m about to feed her now, I’ll give a small snack to shoot her if needed since she’s super spicy and I can’t shoot unless she’s eating.
I do have everything needed. Monitoring is gonna be hard but I can absolutely do it. I’ve done it a few times in the last week, definitely sleep deprived.
I feel like mentally I’ll end up doing TR just because I’m a worry wart. But I’d like to be able to have days where I don’t need to worry quite as much. So I really don’t know which to go with.
She came up to 179. I gave her shot. I’ll monitor overnight.
She’s 92 +2
Yes I can get whatever I need to do.
. Will keep updated.
Thank you for the reassurance. I work 2:30 PM to 11 PM. I actually just changed her feeding to 12 and 12 just to make sure I have a time buffer in case I’m late at work. I was reading the TR for people that work full-time and it’s pretty spot on with what I’m already doing so I think I’m going to stick with TR. It will put my mind at ease.Hi Jenn,
Looks like you did a great job with Holley last night. I've read a bit about you two but don't have the greatest of memories. It's awful to be dealing with FD in such a young kitty. It's scary when you see those green numbers and you're not used to it. It is absolutely possible to follow TR while working fulltime. You just adjust everything you need to, to your schedule.
I see Wendy has been helping you, that's great! She is the one who has helped me with dosing. My Monster was diagnosed just over 2 months ago and we started out on 2 units of Lantus. And, yes, believe it or not, there is a dose smaller than .25 and it's what Monster is on now .10
Let me tell ya, it's not the easiest to measure. But thanks to Wendy and Mary, my Monster is on the road to remission. You're welcome to look at her SS.
It sounds like you work an odd schedule too. I used to work until midnight until this year, I got a daytime shift from 12p-8pm. Most everyone around here has a full time job and sometimes it can be very busy on this forum. But eveyone here is great, supportive and so helpful. You've come to right place for help with Holley.
I hope you and Holley have a great day
I'm a bit of a control freak and I like to test and see her numbers all the time. So TR was the way to go for me. I started with SLGS because I was afraid of those low numbers.
Yeah, I’m extremely OCD so seeing her numbers is definitely a plus I would eventually like to be able to back off and not worry so much but that’s not going to be anytime soon. I have completely switched over to the human meter as of last night. I just did my pre-shot with both just so I could see what the differences really looked like. I think about the closest I can get to a +2 is about an hour and a half with my travel time which I’ve been doing.
I did try that last night, but my phone won’t allow me to fully color match. It’s a little too off from what they need to be for them to be accurate. I have the super low green, but not the one that I needed last night.
That's great! The +2 can say alot about the cycle, I've learned, from Wendy.
Hmm, that odd that it's so different. I have to get to the "custom" colors for them to match. Of course I probably couldn't tell ya how I figured it out, but I did
the colors just really help everyone here to quickly scan over the sheet and read it at a glance. But if it doesn't give you that option then there's nothing you can do. I'm one of those "older" people that likes to complain about technology
Yeah, I couldn’t figure out how to get custom colors. I’ll keep trying though, but I will absolutely get it fixed when I get to work. My weekend is Friday Saturday, which you might actually be able to tell by my spreadsheetThat's great! The +2 can say alot about the cycle, I've learned, from Wendy.

By they way, when is "your weekend"? Those days you will be able to get more data and start seeing patterns hopefully.
. I’m younger, but I still despise technology.
I found it. This is from Wendy, and a few of us have this posted on our SS just to remember it. (I did on my 2025 sheet, an then I screwed up my 2025 sheet and Marje had to fix it for me)Yeah, I couldn’t figure out how to get custom colors.

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing! Thank you!! Definitely stressful for sure. The vetsulin was nowhere near as stressful but wasn’t working for her in the long run.I found it.

"""A guideline that may help you to decide if you need to pull an all nighter is the +2 value compared to preshot value. If the values are about the same, it's a normal Lantus cycle with some downward movement. If the value of +2 is quite a bit lower, then it's more active and needs more attention paid. If the +2 is higher (such as last night), it's a quiet cycle and you can go to sleep.""
Ok. I’ll make a new one. Thank you!
There are no stupid questions!
