Hello LL!
Yesterday condo: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=108388#p1146208

Thanks Julie, again, for all the information. I didn't see your post last night, had already gone to bed but I will get up tonight and get some spot checks. And feed more fancy feast before or around the +5.
She is still peeing a lot and pooping outside the litter box, but has been purring, preening and playing!
Hope everyone has a good day and good start to the week!

Good Morning Elizabeth
Great job getting all those numbers yesterday. Sounds like she's feeling good Let's hope she keeps her numbers down and surfs well for you today

great job getting those tests in this evening.

Two things i am noticing today - this morning's amps was 351 and +2 was 241 - that's a drop of 110 in 2 hrs - in a "typical" lantus cycle the +2 is about the same as the preshot. so when you see a big drop between the preshot test and the +2, that's a sign that you want to be more vigilant in that cycle. if possible, i'd have checked her again at +4 to see what she was doing. i think you are gone to work, then, if i'm remembering correctly.

in the evening cycle, the preshot was 392 and the +1 was 313, lower than the preshot. we would ordinarily expect to see a spike in numbers at +1 from the carbs in the meal.

just things to keep in mind.

Julie- So since she is dropping pretty quick and thus causing the bounces that are causing the spikes does this mean I need to decrease her dose? How will she recover from the bounces if they are happening everyday?
And yes, I am work during her +4. I have been feeding her an oz of ff when I get her +2 as I am heading out the door for work. Same thing with last night when I tested her at +4. I tested her also last night at +6 and fed another 1 oz of ff. I can keep getting numbers when I am not at work, please just guide me as to when is best time, I believe you had said +4 +6. But do I need to get up and do more?
Thanks for all your help, it is so much appreciated.

I was able to test for ketones, its been tricky the last few days, and it was still negative.
