Yesterday

Today's Summary:
6:50am - AMPS BG 289
6:51am - Fed 1% full meal
7:02am - Shot 0.75U

Although high in the yellow zone, was pleased to not see 300+ this morning for her AMPS. Hopefully the depot is building back up nicely and she's recovering safely from the skip & diet change.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

She is taking her time, isn't she?!
Will you be able to get any tests before leaving for work?

 

[Jason - Kona's Dad]

I'm able to work from home today.

Any recommendations on a testing schedule? I was thinking +1, +2, +3, +5, +7 for the first cycle, maybe a +9.

I think you can get a +3 and depending on how much lower she is then, decide on the next test. Once she flattens out or starts heading up (like she did at AM+5 yesterday), you can take a break from tests.

Looks like negative to me. Does she have a history of ketones?

What a flat yellow cycle today. They say that can be a warning of a an active cycle ahead!

No history of ketones, I just wanted to do everything I can to stay on top of it, proactively. I have the Precision Xtra meter coming in the mail with a bunch of strips.

Yes! It was such a flat day. What you mean warning of an active cycle ahead? Sounds like a bad thing… I go to the office tomorrow, so can only get the AMPS, PMPS, and a +2.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

It's possible that the PM cycle could see some action in terms of lower numbers. It's about time she cleared the bounce and went back into blues and greens. When is the +2 due?

@Bandit's Mom - is this when I give a snack to try keep the curve flat? No carb snack?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

And there we have it! Feed some LC. Can you stay up for a +3? That's quite a drop at onset.

 

[Jason - Kona's Dad]

Yes, I can stay up for the +3. To be specific.. is freeze-dried salmon snacks fine, which I think is NO carb. Or do we want something with carb?

Also, looking at Weruva nutritional facts, the carb %s are different for the three lists.

• Calories and metabolizable energy (ME)
• As fed percentage
• Dry matter basis

Which one should I target above? and how much carb? No carb, 1% or 5%?

I have ALL of the TruLuxe lineup to choose from: https://www.weruva.com/pages/cat-nutritional-information

 

[Bandit's Mom]

To be specific.. is freeze-dried salmon snacks fine, which I think is NO carb. Or do we want something with carb?

Feed some of her usual food after each test. Just a tsp is fine.

You would look at % carbs from the Calories/ME table. Anything 5% or below is fine. With time you will realize how carb sensitive Kona is and whether 5% makes a big difference to her numbers or not.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

This is what you'd look at for carb%

I ended up giving her a chunk of salmon freeze dried, tsp piece.

Congrats on the reduction. Looks like you aren't going to bed just yet! Feed a little higher carb food (10-15%) and test in 30 mins?

Did the autofeeder come?

Autofeeder will be here tomorrow night.

If you leave food out for her, will she eat it all at once?

Oh yeah, if she doesn't eat all at once, her sister would get to it.

It's only 10 minutes away... I need to fill in the +5 box to feel like I went above and beyond for her, then I'll go to bed. =)

You are already going above and beyond for her

See you at +5. No more Glyco if she is flat or higher at +5. LC is fine.
