Re: 11/12 Bast AMPS 112
Yes, Misty, that's exactly what you want.
The "perfect" curve isn't a curve at all. It's when a cat sits in the normal range all day long, just like a cat who doesn't have diabetes. Most cats seem to start with high numbers at shot time, with a dip in the middle (sometimes a big dip!). A "smile" shape. As they get better, not only does the dose go down, but the numbers start to decrease. And the difference between PS numbers and nadirs is a lot less. A flat line is the "curve" you want to see.
Bast will still show you lower numbers "in the middle", and at some point you'll still see numbers below 50, which call for "less insulin". And eventually (fingers crossed anti-jinx) the dose goes down to zero and Bast will remain in normal BG ranges without insulin.
Bast going "up" to 112, well, that's not bad at all! Look at one or two of the spreadsheets of the folks with "OTJ" markers on them, and you'll see what they look like during the last month they were giving insulin.
