I hope some of you are morning people to catch me before my morning shot. Of course input is welcome at all times.
Jerry's raised a couple red flags lately. It always throws me off when his preshot numbers are higher than his NADIR readings which did happen AM the 3rd and PM the 2nd.
Bounce this AM unsure from where, 269. And it's now been a verrry late night. With his before bed reading at 60 before he even hits his lowest point I knew I'd have to stay up. He did in fact hit 49 after constant watch so that constitutes a reduction which would bring him down to 1.25 but I have a question regarding this.
He hasn't been eating a ton lately. He gets fed 2 meals with his shots and 2 snacks with his midtestings to get him through. I wasn't pleased over the initial 60 or the 52 that followed as his food was still sitting in the bowl, it never used to last anymore than 2 hours and was completely cleaned to where now it's there and several hours later there's some completely dried leftover. I wasn't sure it'd be easy to get him to eat to boost himself but I did get a couple bites that were enough to increase him. I pray he stays that way as I desperately need sleep to get up and do it all over again in very few hours.
My concern for one is after getting that 49 reading while I was getting his honey food he threw up, he's always done it in a set of two this was a set of three either spit or bile it was white and bubbly. I do believe he's lost weight too now I really wish I had a scale. It's a different type of weight loss than before he was diagnosed, before I had worried of his spine sticking out but now it's a matter of less skin (fat rolls) to grab onto to help steady a shot. Not necessarily a bad thing maybe a benefit to his diet but I am a bit worried over not scarfing as before the puking and his fall below range today. In light of him not eating as before (I was thinking I was going to have to go in and save him the hard way conscious and all just because he really wasn't too interested) do I do the 1.25 unit or should I go with 1 unit and see if an increase is needed? I've worried about flavor boredom but in addition to trying to switch things up for him the honey food he got was a different flavor than what he didn't eat all of it earlier probably not even half. I'm worried if he's not eating well he's not going to react well to a 1.25 either. Worried over him not eating as much period him on a pate diet he's reacted to like a human on an ice cream and chocolate diet, he's always been so excited and happy about it thinking he's getting spoiled. I don't think he should be bored over flavors either as in his kibble days it was the same stuff all the time.
If I don't hear from anyone in time wish me luck and we'll be checking in. We appreciate any feedback thank you.
