Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to do a quick check in this morning. Lou's appy seems to have returned. It's as it was before: he starts being picky, then starts eating a little bit more, then just goes back to eating relatively normally on his own. It's good that he's following his own pattern (he gets sick of wet food flavors if given too frequently, which is why we have 15-20 flavors/kinds of food stocked at any given point in time and we rotate each meal). But it's always nerve-wracking dealing with a non-eating diabetic, especially a well-regulated one, as you all can understand.
On another happy note, Lou earned himself a reduction to 0.5u yesterday by spending 7 days in greens!!
I would have never thought he had it in him, since he always seemed to flash a blue during these countdowns, but he did it this time and I didn't even notice it could be a thing until late last night during the +6 check. I had thought to myself how great it was that he's been so consistently in greens, then I tried to think of the last time I had seen a blue and couldn't come up with one. I counted on my notebook, couldn't believe it, powered up my computer (which I had just turned off), and counted 3-4 more times. So my buddy Lou is at 0.5u, which is flabbergasting (I know I've been saying that a lot lately, but it's true haha 
). And the sweet rascal earned the reduction just in time for Caleb to dose him Friday night (I have to work this weekend and I work a double on Friday, which means Caleb will take care of the T/F/S for me). 
He's such a sweetheart like that for his daddy.
I continue to be astounded and beyond pleased with my buddy Lou's progress, which makes me think briefly about another R word that will not be named... I'd still be happy if he stays this steady forever though, so I don't worry about that too much. I hope you all have a wonderful day and your kitties stay safe out there! Many hugs!

I've told Moey about this way of reducing! He doesn't get it
