Yesterday's Scramble back up the Railing after the sail down the railing the day before.

Yesterday

AMPS 98
+1 84
+1.6 59 <--- 1 tsp 11% Start experiment steering with 11%
+2 53 <--- 1 tsp 11%
+2.4 54 <-- 1 tsp 15%
+3 58 <--- 1 tsp 15% (didn't need this, it turns out)
+4 75
+5 113
+7 396
+11 400
PMPS 392
+2.5 340

(Steering conclusion - 11% works when he heads down a tad later in the cycle, it *might* have worked here but +3 hadn't gained much. Conclude this time 11% would have been good at +3. If I understood this cat, 1% at +3 may have been fine.)

Good Morning LL!

My phone somehow died in the night and I woke up RIGHT AT SHOOT TIME. It just turned itself off in the night. That happens, but rarely. But I enjoyed the extra hour. MANNIE!!! ~O) So I use a backup for important things like plans and RACES. It failed to go off for a half-marathon earlier this year. SHEESH.

All 5Ps in place. Leo is enjoying a wonderful multi-cycle bounce-o-rama, going UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN. I will tie him in knots if he doesn't calm down.

Anyway, Leo cuddled in the night. I get such a warm feeling in my heart when I get back into bed, and he readjusts himself to lay down touching me again.

Need to work hard today to catch up on stuff I zoned through yesterday. DH is coming tonight - tomorrow is our anniversary and Sunday is a race! Fun weekend!

Hugs, vines and good mornings and good days to everyone. Have a wonderful Friday!

+1 447

Really Leo? His #1 meal was 7% instead of 1%, I opened the wrong can - similar label colors and I thought, well, Dr. Lisa says they all have slop in the numbers. But 40 points in an hour?!? Won't be doing THAT again (although this is another learning point). Or, he's still on this multi-cycle bounce. I'll hang out for a +2 but I think I can go to work safely :-D

Good Morning Lisa and Leo, you're getting to know thy cat. It takes time and you're doing great. The +1 for a lot is a food spike anyway. So Leo, be a good boy and come down to a nice surf. Sorry about the alarm, but I bet the extra hour leepus helped. Enjoy that Mannie coffee.

Morning Lisa ~O) ~O) ~O) Mannie has just ran out the door, a trail of steaming ~O) concoctions in his wake.... you should hear that knock on your door soon. :lol: :lol:

Good luck too with the fuds steering. I like to use the 11/12 % too when I need to steer. Sometimes an 8% will work with Mannie too. It took a while with alot if experiments to learn which fuds worked, which ones didn't, and when to start steering. Alot depended too on what level BG wise I was trying to hold him at. I think you did a great jon steering those Numbers last night. Not too much you could have done to avoid a bounce like that. I hope he comes down soon for you. SLOWLY Leo OK?

Nice on the cuddles!

yupp, looks like Leo has given you a permission slip to go to work... YAY!, I think! :lol: Have a great day today.
 
Re: 10/24 Leo AMPS 409 +1 447

YeeGads you bouncey boy. I feel for you Lisa as I never really experienced that w/ my guy. Let's hope his little body starts to realize stable is good and its ok to stay down in the greens. :smile: What a learning game for you though and a great source of information for the future. But can you ever understand our furrykids!!!!

And if you ever questioned whether you were doing what's good for Leo, remember this snuggle time. He loves you and appreciates all you have done for him, in spite of all the challenges. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: You are doing great for him IMHO!

Congrats on the anniversary. And I hope you have a good race. Need to get ready for work. Late start means late night...ugh.

Ugh on the bounce, but I actually think up 40 points at +1 isn't too bad for a food spike. Remember, we say "no food for 2 hours before preshot" for a reason. I think you might have hit the peak of the food spike. Tess can easily go up 100 points w/ her lev wearing off about the same time! :roll:

Hang in there you are doing a great job w/ Leo! Happpy pending Anniversary!

Morning Lisa. I almost missed today's condo, it's actually the 25th here. :lol: The one nice thing about multi day bounces is they do allow you to do other things, like prep for races, DH visits and anniversaries! Neko has been bouncing since we've started on Lantus in February, sometimes it's just the kind of cat they are. For your sake, I hope he'll learn a little sooner.

Come on down nice and slowly Leo, mamabean has other things to do but we'd all like to see you get down a couple of floors today. I love the bed cuddling, my civie Theo is learning to do it too. Considering Leo started out on the wild side, he has adapted VERY nicely to the indoor life.

HI Wendy - D'oh, I don't even know what day it is! Fixed my subject line - thanks! Yes it was nice not to worry about him at work today. Makes me wonder what I'm in for later. Hopefully he'll listen to you and come down nicely. I haven't tested him since this morning. I'm lucky he's so cuddly after being an outdoor cat - you're right. I wonder if he was tossed out as a kitten and had had some human touch before. That makes me feel sad, but he's got hoomans now for sure! And thanks for the article.

HI Ann - wow, 40 for a food spike isn't normal for Leo, so I wonder. He's generally lower on the +1 unless he's playing this bounce over the moon game. Thanks on the anniversary. I'm tempted to carb Leo to his gills to get a nice with DH and no ear sticks!!!

Hi Karen - that is so sweet of you to say. I could cry :-)

He's made my apartment living so much more tolerable and I have something to look forward to when I come home. I just love the little boy. I'll remember what you said - the cuddles say it all. Thank you.

Hi Michelle - tell Manny THANK YOU! It surely was delicious this morning and good aroma too! Wow - this whole steering thing is like learning a foreign language. But I don't know all the verbs. I have no experience trying to hold him at a specific BG level other than not going under 50! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Ann - yes, the hour helped, but still zoned. Seems it takes me two full days to get over a stretch of Leo-prevation. Back from work. I will try to get a catnap in before PMPS.

Hi Lisa, Hope Leo clears his bounce soon and keeps on giving nice bed snuggles :mrgreen: cat_pet_icon . Happy anniversary and enjoy your race!
 
Re: 10/25 Leo AMPS 409 +1 447 +2 432

You did a good job with Leo yesterday. You're getting a lot of great information that will help you in the future. I hope Leo comes down for you soon. Have a good anniversary tomorrow.
 
Hi Carla - thanks - every day seems to be a new learning experience! Thanks on the anniversary - planning a good sushi dinner - yum!

Hi Leslie - thanks on the anniversary and the race - looks like Leo decided to head down, but slowly boy slowly!

Good night all!
 
Great job on the food testing Lisa!

I hope you are going to test him again tonight. With that +2 so much lower than the PMPS, I gotta wonder if he's going to come back down?

Happy anniversary tomorrow!! Have a romantic time with DH!
