12/14 118 NS heading to Honeymoon stage?

[Boscosmom]

I would love some feedback. If I remember the terms correctly, I think Bosco is heading to his honeymoon!!!
We have had some 24 hours with no insult shots based on his AMPS and or PMPS. As of this morning, we are on 36 hours of not needs a shot!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for our 7p test time tonight. What I've noticed is now that he isn't eating all time time due to high numbers, he was always more of a grazer, his numbers are staying low. I'm optimistically hopeful and watching closely as we go on vacation in 13 days. I'm making good notes for the pet sitter who is familiar with diabetic cats.
Can you look at his sheet and give me any feed back. Also, I could really use some help with a caliper. I thought I set it right but it is not getting the number it should be.

Looking really good but we usually like to see the bg under100 for an OTJ TRIAL. We usually don’t stop insulin at a .5 dose either. The next dose down is .25. You could try that or see if the BG increases without insulin. @Wendy&Neko might be around to see what she thinks.

Can you send me a video or written instructions on how to set up a caliper. I watched a video and really thought I did it right. I was trying to get it to measure .50 but when when I used it and matched it to one i drew without the caliper it wasn't close to .50 at all. His mid day is generally around 65 so I know he is ready to go down to .25 but I can't really measure that with my eye.

Here is the post and video on Dosing with calipers

Elise is right. Although Bosco is going in the right direction, his numbers should be mostly under 100 to show he's ready for an OTJ trial. He should be on the 0.25 unit dose next. If he goes below 90 again on that dose, there is also a 0.1 unit dose. Pictures of that dose are the Sticky Note on Fine Dosing.
