Good morning Charlotte's mom! It's only been a day since she saw that 49 - and those blues aren't too bad. Let's hope she will indeed make it back to the lagoon with the reduction.
It looks like it's a rainy Sunday morning here too...a bit muggy to start...but some showers bumping around.
Hope you and Charlotte have a lovely day - even with the rain!

Hey there Charlotte, you look beautiful in this shade of green, but lime is not your color. Stay safe for your mom, please.

Oh dear, Charlotte, this lime thing is not flattering at all -- please re-think your color choice. Stay safe!

Ugh! 45 now at approx 2.75. Gave her more KD with a drop of honey and 2 kibble.

How long does it take for the HC to kick in?? Honey should be quick I presume bc if the sugar. I hope I did the right thing with the latter.

Ok so the honey obviously kicked in. At 87 +3

I think about 20 or 30 mts. Honey or syrup is faster. Try not to fill her up with food, you might be at this a while.

So much for this cycle me thinks. I’ll keep check again as I know that the rise was food induced. Do I take the reduction tonight or do I wait it out for 24 hours?

So +5 we are at 79. Just fed her a little GL mc but she wasn’t too thrilled. I’ll give 10 minutes to see if I need to try a different one.
Yes, reduce tonight.
Another phenomenon you may have seen on here, caregiver talks about an increase and kitty proves you wrong.
Congrats on the reduction.This morning, with such a steep drop and so close to 50, HC would have been an option at +2. Charlotte, a nice steady surf in upper greens now please.

Since you asked elsewhere, this isn’t too soon for a reduction again. The depot can take 4-6 cycles to deplete. Today is cycle 4. Today’s cycle is 0.75 units talking.
Charlotte is doing great! (And so are you). Slip into a nice pair of comfy yoga patience pants.

Hi, just curious -- I've been following this thread to learn from your great advice, and I have a question. If the depot can take 4-6 cycles to drain, how do you know that today's cycle is .75 units talking? How can you tell the depot is no longer in play and doesn't need 2 more cycles (the full 6) to drain? Thanks in advance.

Hi!! I hope you mean for Wendy @Wendy&Neko to answer your question bc I’m still trying to figure out Lantus and all of its quirkiness!!
The depot usually takes less time to drain for smaller doses, more for larger. Even if the there was a bit of depot left, it would only be a very little bit left at this point. Plus Charlotte had a flat blue cycle last night, which can sometimes precedes a cycle of action. I get the feeling her pancreas has seen the light.
In which case, best be safe and take the reduction.

Actually, it was Neko who taught me, as well as some of the veteran members here, Neko was both high and low dose, so i got to see a lot first hand,

Well, I'm sure Neko is smiling in Cat Heaven because you are passing on the knowledge.

Ok so PMPS is 120. We took the reduction and hopefully the .5 units will keep her sailing smoothly with no crazy waves!
