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.

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 - is this when I give a snack to try keep the curve flat? No carb snack?
 
And there we have it! Feed some LC. Can you stay up for a +3? That's quite a drop at onset.

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

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.

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

She was headed up at +4.5 and the Glycobalance then will keep her higher. Call it a night.
Congrats on the reduction. Down to 0.5u from tomorrow.

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. =)
