12/28 Leo ♡ PMPS 77 +2 44 +2.5 64 +4 44 +4.25 53 +4.7 64

Silly Leo, worrying your mama like that :rolleyes:. Now, let’s see whether today’s cycle is going to be similar to December 25th o_O. My shenanigan meter is a little rusty but I do wonder if he’s got something planned!
 
+2=131 :woot:
tsp 10% @ +1 & +2
Down by 70 points.

@Christie & Maverick ,
Do you mean the bounce in the PM or the green?
"My shenanigan meter is a little rusty but I do wonder if he’s got something planned!"

Once I looked at the dose days and it's consistent application, you helped me see the success or lack of it. Thank you, for the gentle slap! Thank you, again.

Meeting my Dad at the crematorium business office at 1pm with my husband and daughter. This is the time for my Dad to sign papers for the process, and turn over the urn he and my step-mom purchased about 10 years ago. Then we'll all go to his granddaughters home (less than 4 mi away) since he's never been there. My daughter married, 9/30/22; she and her husband bought their first home (about 10 miles from me). What is weird is that the name of the street for the 1pm appointment is the same street name as my daughter's address, though different cities. o_O I am sure this is a difficult day for my Dad.:bighug:

That he’s angling for some greens ;):D. Take care of you too, hon, I’ve been there several months ago. This is also a difficult day for you, it can be mentally and emotionally draining to not only support your dad, but to be feeling your feelings too :bighug:
 
You are right, @Christie & Maverick! :D

+4.75=52; gave Leo tsp 33%, plus maple syrup.... overkill, I know, but needed to leave to meet my Dad at the Neptune Society. :(
Then travel about four miles to our daughter's home so we can visit with him there afterwards. Left food out and even some 33%, though Andy might eat it. He eats everything. Praying!!
 
The little turkey, he’s pulling the shenanigans when he knows you aren’t going to be around. I was going to suggest an out the door test, ie. in another 20 minutes before you leave to see if he’s flattened out, but it looks like you may have to leave. That’s a good amount of carbs, that likely should give him more than a little bump up…paws crossed.

stay on the shallow end of the lagoon, Leo!

I wanted to mention since you shot an hour late this morning, that you will need to adjust your shot time tonight slightly. If you were to shoot at the usual time, that would technically be an hour early since it won’t have been 12 hours from this morning’s shot which for some cats might act like an increase. Just shoot 1/2 hour later than usual then you can shoot the same time tomorrow morning. Makes sense?

Absolutely! I almost shot 40 min early, so waiting 10 min to complete the usual sequence. I bet Leo thinks he's getting off shot-free or that I forgot. :kiss:
 
Hehe they do know their routine! Considering you brought out the big guns earlier, I’m pleasantly surprised he’s still green at pre shot! Maverick would have shot to the moon just at the smell of those carbs :p
 
Speaking of over sleeping and such, my sister was worn out yesterday and thought to take a one hour nap (which would be quite a long nap), but ended up at four hours! I think she and I are part-cat. :woot::cat:
 
+2 after PMPS=44
I even gave 10% tsp at +1. Guess I should have given a higher % at +1, though I don't like manipulating the BG as much/so frequently. Does it keep the amount of insulin given higher? How is that good? Asking questions I should have almost two years ago. I'm sure there's a reason besides keeping our kitty safe.
 
Sometimes when they want a reduction, it doesn’t really matter. Feeding the curve with carbs early in the cycle is helpful for kitties who bounce, and it also depends on how carb sensitive they are. Those who spike quite high from just LC benefit from this, since spacing out the food helps keep the kitty more flat, in principle. No, the idea is not to need to fed medium or high carb constantly, if that is the case, then one needs to reevaluate.
 
Hi. You just found me on my other post & I looked at Leo’s spreadsheet. I dont know his history but it looks like he may have some nausea happening often. I had that same issue with my Sprocket. i ended up having ondansetron& famotidine compounded into a liquid or ear gel to make it easier to give & I kept it on hand all the time as I never knew when he would need it. Many times it helped as ondansetron works within 5-15mins. Then he would eat.
Maybe ask your vet if you can do that. And I do recommend using Roadrunner pharmacy in AZ but they changed hands so different name but they told me they can follow roadrunners rules if the script is called into them from the vet instead of sent electronically. You can get enough as it will stay good for about 6 months. Prices used to same for getting more, you just had to ask.

another place is BCP pharmacy in houston TX & they are privately owned & charge for shipping but its fast & worth it.
I am following you now here.
Hope my tips will help some.

Thank you! This whole mess only started about two weeks ago when his BG went bockers (high). I'm copying your reply into OneNote to request this script from the vet. What you said about getting it filled reminds me of getting LDN (low dose naltrexone) for me and MS. ;)

So it is you! :bighug:

Yes its me!
Ya, it helps to have meds on hand sometimes. I still have meds on hand except now I got different meds on hand for different conditions.
Seems like healthy cats is a thing of the past but its nice to have such a wonderful community of fellow crazy cat lovers!
