I’m not even sure I completely understand TR.
I’ve read that and it confuses me. Unfortunately, I need to be walked though it step by step.
With SLGS, you have been decreasing a dose every time you go below 90. With TR, you reduce whenever the numbers go below 50. You can increase every 6-10 cycles on TR, whereas you would have to wait 7 days with SLGS. That's basically it in a nutshell. Ask any questions, and always check in with someone here if in doubt.I’ve read that and it confuses me. Unfortunately, I need to be walked though it step by step.
I’m assuming that number (50) is not an AlphaTrak number but a human meter?
Sorry, I forgot you were using an AT. 68 is your reduction number if you're following TR.
Thank you. I think if this increase doesn’t bring her numbers down, I’ll try it. I will still guidance in the beginning tho…..
I've been on the FDMB almost every day for the last 14 months and I still need lots of hand holding when it comes to dosing. Don't worry about getting all of the facts straight all at once. We're here to help.
That’s where I may run into issues and why I have chosen ( and may stick with) SLGS. I have a tricky schedule and work from mid afternoon to late evenings at a restaurant. I very much appreciate the support, it really helps!
How soon before shot time do you get home from your shift?
Right before shot time, usually.
Hiya. Feeling kind of lousy. I did take a home test and it was negative but I’m somewhat certain I have it. I’m double vaxxed and boosted so hopefully will be feeling better soon! I very much appreciate you asking. It’s knocked a couple of my coworkers down pretty badly. It’s really ripping through the restaurants here. Such a bummer. Just in time for the holidays

I will test again at +3 or +3.5 @tiffmaxee
I feed her small amounts, often. All LC altho I did give her a very small (less than half teaspoon )of MC mixed in at +4.5Have you been feeding her tonight at all? Looks like she's slowing down. Nice to see that bit of green.
With SLGS, you actually reduce by 0.25 if they reduce even once below 90. Once thing for you to consider, is that SLGS can be customized by experienced caregivers who know how their cat reacts to insulin and food. Some people lower their reduction point a bit if they find that their cat doesn't hold reductions at 90. You have to trade that off with your comfort level of being away at work and not able to test. If you stick with 1.0 unit, there's a chance she'll see numbers like this again.
