'Morning everyone!

Gotta say that I am not loving these mid-blue preshots, which carry through the AM cycle about one-third of the time. But then at night she drops into the 60s about two-thirds of the time, so I guess the AM numbers are a bounce from the PM? How do I get her to stop bouncing?

I'm expecting a new supply of insulin within the next week or so. Maybe that will help?

Faraday is stuck in a very similar place, so unfortunately I'm no help in figuring out what to do with it. @Bandit's Mom has had me trying to feed a bit of MC early in the PM cycle to reduce the crashes down (to avoid the bounce back up), but we haven't found the happy ratio of MC and LC to prevent it yet! Just here for the moral support!

Thanks, @Cali S . I've been trying the food adjustments too, but there's no clear pattern to whether Chispa responds or not (mostly not). It's a head-scratcher.

Hi Karen ,I see you started cosequin , I haven't gotten it for Tyler yet, let me know how it goes, I hope it helps, like I was saying in one of my posts when Tyler gets up he gets up a little slower now, once he starts walking he's fine, I'm going to get some this week. Let me know if you see that it raises her BG at all. I hope Bhooma can give you some suggestions so you can start seeing some green pre shots
I wish I could help but I never had that problem with Tyler

Thanks, @Diane Tyler's Mom . I read that some cats don't like it, but I mixed the capsules into her daily food supply and she hasn't seemed to notice that anything is different (I put a whole day's worth of food in a container every day so that I can keep track of her calories). I'll let you know if I see a change in her walking and/or her BG. She's mostly ok, just a little stiff when she gets up and starts walking. Keep the good thoughts coming for those green preshots!
