yesterday: small R-assisted dip into the mid blues https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/11-29-oberon-pmps-184-2-251-4-259-5-344.239287/

No R today; I agree it's time to revise the scale and cut back even more. He's been getting it a lot less frequently for the past couple of weeks.

Slow start to the morning, but now he's taken off, apparently. Down to 136 at +8, and now I'm switching over to hourly checks until I see what he's up to.

Unpredictable cat, thy name is Oberon.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

88 at +9.... he's getting an LC snack now. The +10 to PMPS numbers could get interesting. Wonder if he's heading for another reduction.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Wow Oberon. I hope he comes up for you.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

55 at +10.5. I'll check in 15 minutes. If he's below 50, he'll get some carbs for safety and I'll start the 2 hours over again and see how it goes. I think the odds are pretty good he's going to end up with a skipped shot tonight.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

(Also, reduction earned! New dose 6.0 U, but maybe not tonight.)

Morning data: +8 364, AMPS 379, +4 328, +6 260, +8 136,

48 at +11; getting a bit of HC now.

 

[LindyNova]

Holy Frijoles, Oberon! Settle down (I mean.... up) now!

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

OK... gave a tsp of 20% FF at +11. Resetting the preshot clock. 50 at +11.25. Boy, when he wants a reduction he doesn't fool around.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

Food bump at +11.5 (74)

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

More morning data: +9 88, +9.5 79, +10 72, +10.5 55, +10.75 57

Staying above 50 so far. If he's still there at +13 I'll probably give a BCS (3 U?) to drain the depot a little and give me a bit of an easier time this evening. (Tomorrow's my last big teaching day of the semester.) If he drops I'll probably just skip the shot rather than waiting to see if he comes back up on his own.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

At this point in Neko's career, I felt like I was riding a roller coaster. I imagine you must feel the same.

Sleep is not over rated.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

So naturally he's down a bit (63) but not enough to conclusively say I should skip the shot. I've shot this low before, and I know if I give a BCS he should still start to come back up in a few hours. But that's going to be about 2 am, and I don't think I want to be up that late tonight. Skip?

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

Opted not to shoot tonight; I don't totally trust him and this will drain the depot a bit. So now I can just monitor, feed as needed, and go to bed when he finally starts to come up.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Good call. Sleep well. I'm pretty sure he'll recover nicely from the skip.

Good call. Sleep well. I'm pretty sure he'll recover nicely from the skip.

Plus if I had to poke him every 15-30 minutes all evening I was probably going to lose a hand. He's been cranky about it. I finally tried a bit of the neosporin with pain relief on one ear, though, and he didn't bat an eye (or ear) at the next couple of pokes. So that'll help, and giving him a bit of a break would be nice, too.

 

[Lisa & Oberon]

Also, this is continuing the pattern of earning a reduction about every 6 cycles. So there's at least some predictability, which probably means he's about to change his pattern.

Final bit of morning data: +11 48, +11.25 50, +11.5 74, +12 78, +12.5 74

125 now, and he was 126 an hour ago (which included a food bump). So definitely on an upward trend, but slowly. Might give it another half hour just to make sure he's coming up. Or just dump the last bit of HC from the can in his bowl for him and go to bed... DH will be checking him in about 3 hours when he gets up.
