Good Morning, Lantus Land Neighbors!
We're sending out lots of hugs and skritches to our neighbor kitties and beans who need them today. We're wishing for a healing "hump" day for everyone.

No surprises today -- Clare's bouncing from her low-green dive last night. One thing that seemed hopeful is that she came down with just the LC (4-5%) that we normally feed her, then after we bumped her up a bit with 8% and finally, some maple syrup, stayed in the greens and surfed for awhile before doing her usual bounce.
We are going on a long-weekend trip this weekend, and will be gone from Friday through Monday, back late Monday night. A new person will be staying at the house to feed Clare and Coral and give Clare her shots. She's a scientist-person (parasitologist) but new to FD and won't be doing any testing. We've arranged for our Vet Tech who knows Clare to come each day, mid-day, to check Clare's BG and make sure she's in a safe zone, at least at that time.
Our questions are: (1) What insulin dosage should we instruct our catsitter to give Clare? and (2) What would you expect/hope that a "safe zone" for the daytime nadir/mid-day test would be while we're away? I realize that the nighttime is an even greater concern but we don't have coverage for that, except that someone who's caring and competent will be sleeping in the house, and we've asked her to keep out food for Clare at all times.
Thanks for your help,
Georgette and Clare
