yesterday

Billo was fairly flat throughout the night, in the high 100s, but cleared it today. It's been a really busy morning/afternoon, and Billo is definitely keeping me on my feet lol. I fed her about 1 tsp M/HC at +4, but then I lost track of time and didn't get a test in until +5 - completely my fault but I'm glad I caught her. As we discussed in yesterdays condo, I don't think I'll count this 43 as one of the drops below 50, bc the depot from the last dose seems be playing a factor still.

Fed M/HC at +5 and a little more at +5.40. She's climbing back up now, and my day is slowing down so I'll keep a close eye on her. It's been a little difficult keeping her above 50 over the last few days, she's usually super sensitive to M/HC wet food, even a little bit usually makes her BG skyrocket. I've had to feed to her a larger amount of M/HC than normal. Not too sure what the reason behind that may be.


Have a good day everyone!

Interesting. An overfull depot, perhaps?? Or she is taking pointers from Butters on how to behave (or rather, misbehave)?
You can always try a little syrup to bring her up so you aren't feeding so much. I tend to use syrup more than I use MC or HC foods. I'll mix some into a tsp of LC though you can give it straight up and test in 20 because it kicks in faster than MC and HC foods.

Cute cycle for Billo And perhaps she's starting to understand how this game works and her body isn't freaking out as much? paws crossed.

Hahaha I’m super happy that Billo is behaving and misbehaving It’s a nice balance especially when she’s putting out these kinds of numbers!

I’ve never actually tried syrup! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I fed her more MC Food right before seeing your comment, and she’s on her way up now.

Syrup is short acting right, as in the effects wear off sooner correct? Is there anything to be cautious about when using syrup?

Thank youuu I really hope she is! I believe you’re right, her body is adapting and becoming accustomed to “normal” numbers.

You should test in 20 minutes after using just syrup because it takes less time for the BG to react to the carbs compared to mc or hc foods. And it wears off quicker. ECID but i find i can use less of it to keep butters up vs giving her gravy.
That’s all I can think of.
