Max was laying by his dish when I got up but he didn't meow. I don't like it that he doesn't let me know that he is hungry by meowing any more. He ate his baby food and came in to give me head butts while I was measuring his insulin. I just checked and he ate most of the cat food I put out. I'm hoping for a nice surf today.

Vines and prayers to all kitties and beans in need and I hope everyone gets a visit from you know who!!

Morning! ~O) ~O) ~O)

wow, nice amps! Surf well today Max. Mannie would do that to me soemtimes too, not meow when he was hungry, dropping low. He'd often prance about the kitchen, but no meows. That back and forth walk gt him a test. Silly cat.

Have a great day today.

It would be nice if Max would give me some type of signal. I guess he is by laying by his food dish but if I'm asleep or not in the room the silly cat doesn't realize he won't get what he wants. Thanks for stopping by Michelle.

That is high enough Mr. Come on down now, but ever so slowly and then tread in the 70-100 range for me. And while you are at it would you please not go back under the bed?

the answer to your question posted in Michael's thread today:

To tag on to the regulation question, is renal threshold when they stop spilling glucose into the urine?

renal thresold is when they begin to spill glucose into their urine. most veterinary literature states renal threshold is around 200 - 250 mg/dl (11.1-13.9 mmol/L ). however, there was an interesting Think Tank thread on the "old" FDMB which mentioned renal threshold could be as low as 140 mg/dl. i believe Steve/Jock posted the source of information. So, ECID?

Steve's post prompted me to use diastix to get a good handle on when Alex began to spill glucose into her urine. as near as i can figure, Alex began spilling glucose into her urine in the 150 to 180 mg/dl range for the last several years of her life. her renal threshold convinced me to keep her tightly regulated as much as i possibly could even though i knew she would never go OTJ a third time.

Thank you Jill. It explains what I thought was renal threshold but is a little depressing. Max was diagnosed a year ago in a few days. I didn't really start home testing until January and we stopped insulin for about 3 weeks in December to see if he was in remission and because I wasn't testing with my mom hospitalized. The urinalysis done most recently showed ++ glucose in his urine as expected since that day he was above 250 at the vet's office. I am hoping he is becoming tightly regulated but he has looked like he might become so before only to fail a reduction. I'm doing as much as I can to make it happen. Thanks again for the info. :smile:

Nice numbers for Max today. Furball doesn't meow at me either. I just have to catch a low number.

please don't find the info depressing. it's realistic. when you have all the facts you're armed with the info you need to make good solid decisions for Max.

If only kitties could tell us they're dropping_ Tiger doesn't make a sound either, most of the time, i have no clue if she will be high or low :roll: Another great day for Mr. Max, hope your back is better, I bet you strained when lifting him from under the bed, that's am awkward position to be in. :YMHUG: Sorry about your mom, hopefully there is no new infection!

Thanks, Ruth for stopping by. Yes I so wish they could talk and tell us how they feel.

I think I did strain my back picking Max up. I just carried him to test and felt a sharp pain. It's not getting better.I have to figure out how to stop aggravating it.
