Yesterday: https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/1-13-tessa-amps-83-8-68-9-77-pmps-97.272949/

Unfortunately the Libre sensor is reading very low again but only sometimes. Most of her overnight readings last night seemed fine but the low ones seem oddly low and this morning her numbers are reading extra low, like 45-55 which I know is not correct.

I downloaded an app that is supposed to let me calibrate the data but I can't do that until the sensor reads above 60. It's currently reading 45 which I know is not accurate. This app is made by a 3rd party and it's experimental but it doesn't actually touch the original data in the Libre app, it just uses manual readings I input to "calibrate" the data and outputs the calibrated data into its own app. So there's really no harm in trying it, it's a last ditch effort to save this sensor before I give up on it completely.

In better news, we've officially dropped down to 1.5 units! Fingers crossed that she can hold it.

I decided to try shooting in a different spot than usual (in the flank, close to her back legs) and ended up giving a DEFINITE fur shot. I literally saw the insulin go straight through. UGH. Hopefully this doesn't mess up her chances of holding this reduction.

The only reason I even changed location was that I was wondering if the Libre was reading low because the insulin location from this morning was too close to the sensor. The product guide for the Libre says 1 inch away minimum and I was definitely further away than an inch but still within a couple inches. I figured trying further back would eliminate that as a possible reason for the sensor being wrong.

I'm definitely thinking about giving up on the Libre altogether, it is just causing a lot of stress. The only problem is that I can only get a +2 in the PM cycle so I'll have 10 hours of no data overnight.

Well she must have gotten at least some insulin because she's dropped from 97 to 74 so that's a good sign. It sure felt like it allll went straight through lol.

She does take furshots in her stride so hopefully this will be a non-event.

I hope so too! The others were maybes or partial fur shots but this is the first one that I am 100% sure was a fur shot because I saw the insulin shoot across the room lol.
