I fell asleep watching TV last night and didn't test & shoot until +15, 3 hours late
He was 546 and I gave him 2 units.
Bad idea - I should have used a smaller dose.
I'd fed Sophisticat mixed with Purina Pro Plan turkey and giblets, but no Fancy Feast Kitten mixed in, so somewhat lower fat/calorie.
All the food had been pretty much eaten this morning.
At +9 this morning, he was only 52.
I waited until it was +11, retested and got 308, then shot.

Some math, which may or may not be valid:
546 - 52 = 494 point drop in 9 hours (between 11 pm and 8 am)
494 points / 2 units of insulin = 247 points per unit
AMPS 308
desired range: 100-150
drop needed for range: 158 - 208 points
lo drop estimate: 158 points / 247 points per units = 0.6 units
hi drop estimate: 208 points / 247 points per units = 0.8 units

Gave .8 units

I like your math.
I also think that he may have gone lower than 51 whuch is amazing.

Explains why he came into the bedroom to help me wake up, doesn't it!
 
Re: 11/11/2011 Spitzer - oops

Wow, big drop. Glad the amps is better, and that he's doing better.
 
Re: 11/11/2011 Spitzer - oops; AMPS~308,+3~255

He's hanging out in the kitchen ... near the food bowl so he knows some is available.

He always takes a bite after testing, in addition to the few kibble I give him (when the bag is empty, I'll switch to something else).

Note: a recent comparison of tests on a ReliOn Confirm and another meter consistently had the Confirm reading lower. So Spitzer's 52 might have been an underestimate of his glucose.

So glad that he is doing better and the numbers are coming down!!
 
Re: 11/11/2011 Spitzer - oops; AMPS~308,+3~255

Just a habit left over from what my vet told me on day one (my meter would read 30 points below "her" meter, and I did see that twice in side-by-side tests at the clinic) but when I see "50", my brain says "80". So, no, not too low really. Nice though!

Re: 11/11/2011 Spitzer 3~255,+6~283,+9~398,PMPS~461,+3~344

So the day has gone
AMPS~308 and 0.8 units of PZ
+3~255
+6~283
+9~398
PMPS~461, gave 1.2 PZ
+3~344

- PMPS was actually at =11, because I wanted to get back on schedule and because I knew he was bouncing from this morning.

So the math above didn't work, I suspect because of both insufficient dose and bouncing.
I'll continue testing to see if it works on non-bounce dose cycles.
