Might he have eaten his +8 snack within 2 hours of the AMPS? Wondering why his PS are a little higher now.

 

[audravincent]

Maybe. I hand fed him for the am cycle +8. My nephew is putting his food up too 2 hrs before his shot tonight.

His preshots are trending higher

Yeah… I wonder if it’s the routine change this week. Otherwise I don’t know. I used to wake up and test right away but now I bring my nephew to work then come back to test. My nephew used to be home all day with the cats and now gone for work.

So your PS/shot time is different?

My nephew used to be home all day with the cats and now gone for work.

Would he feed them during the day and they're not getting food now? In cats with functioning pancreas and on tiny doses like Jinx is on, food can bring down numbers because the pancreas produce insulin in response to food.

The other change is the autofeeder. I wonder if he is getting food closer to the shot time than he was previously.

I shifted his shot time by half an hour. He only fed them when I asked him to.

Sorry to hijack but I want to understand this….on low doses, amps and pmps should still be a fasting number (no food 2 hours prior) but in fact the number should actually be lower if they were not fasted if the pancreas is working? Or it’s an ecid thing and it could go either way?

On low doses you would feed at +9 in both cycles and then fast between +9 and PS. The snack at +9 will bring down the PS because the pancreas will produce insulin in response to food.

Got it. You are still taking food away 2 hours prior to preshot but ensuring that they eat @+9 (3 hours prior to pre shot) vs potentially going without food for an extended period of time.

Yup! More so for cats who have low blue preshots.
