This is one of those days where you wish you could give an extra shot midway in the cycle. Poor little Champers did so well last night, kept me up all night long, and even had a decent AMPS, but then just started a major climb to the top of the diabetes mountain!! One thing I learned last night is that FF Gravy Lover's chicken doesn't do much to lower his BG right after he eats it. He ended up eating a whole can in the process of trying to keep him above 50 last night, but it didn't seem to have any effect until he hit his nadir. Maybe today's numbers are the cumulative effect of eating so much of that food last night. I won't be using it again anyway since it didn't do what I needed it to do....bring up the BGs just a swidge and let him surf with just a tiny bit in his system. The beef flavor of the Gravy Lover's worked perfectly so I'll just use that from now on. These numbers haven't made Champ feel very well, either. Little guy just laid around in his bed most of the morning, not sleeping. He finally fell asleep and then slept like the dead until I woke him up with the poke at +11 just now. Oh, excuse me, he's gotten into his kitty bed in my office and has gone back to sleep. I sure hope we get back on that awesome track we were on. I've been losing a lot of sleep, but he's been looking so good...I want it BACK!!!
I hope everyone has had a great day and will continue to have a great night!!
