Yesterday

A week in largely normal numbers on a dose also qualifies for a reduction. The preshots are usually the last to come down.

Thanks Bhooma. He has been seeing green numbers for most of the past 7 days. This morning his AMPS is 76…not sure if you will see this, but should I dose him his regular dose or reduce today? This is his lowest preshot number for me….

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Wow! Your first green preshot!

If you can monitor him, go ahead and give the full dose. Don't fill him up. Break up his breakfast and feed a little at +1 and +2.

Will do, thank you for getting back right away. His AMBG is lower than mine! I took mine after I poked myself with his syringe and it’s 89! Luckily I didn’t give myself any insulin. Just poked myself after his shot. Which he took like a champ!

THANK YOU @Diane Tyler's Mom. I will cherish them. It has truly been a long learning process. Biggie is batting the balls around with his newfound energy.

You're doing a great job Jackie, Biggie is looking good, I hope he's having fun with those balls
It took me 2 years and 4 months to get Tyler into remission ( knock in wood)

Ugh the meter gave me at least 6 errors in a row using different strips and even a different bottle and even tried a different meter. I am going to call the company. This is very frustrating when I know he is in the lower range and I can’t get a number. And he has been sooo patient but finally gave me a swat when I was finished with the last reading. And then I went to wash his ears off in case I got oils on his ear that might interfere with a reading (I was eating lunch before i took his reading) or something, and finally got a hiss out of him, which is totally understandable. It seems like my meter give errors on the low numbers. Not a good time for it to have issues.

ETA the company said that E20 error could be if the reading is under 50. It’s really frustrating that it won’t give me an actual number at that point, b/c I need to know it. The rep said it could also be b/c it’s cat’s blood at that number it’s having a harder time reading. But it’s supposed to read up to 20 or 30 bg so it doesn’t make sense. Maybe I’ll try a different meter brand. These strips aren’t cheap as it is.

thanks @Diane Tyler's Mom that's perfect. I am going to try that one. The strips are way more reasonable and if you guys haven’t had this issue with the meter then even better!

Great never had an issue with it
I have the Relion Prime but it's discontinued but I can still get test strips for it, who knows they may stop selling the test strips for it then I'll have to get the Premier Classic too

Two green pre-shots in a row, on the same day as my first ever green pre-shot. Hoping for more safe surfing ahead. I fed him pretty much on the hour in the first half of his cycle. I hope I can figure out what works so we can spread meals out but maybe this is what he needs now.
