Good morning everybody,
Advices given by members yesterday did not fall in empty ear. I performed a test before bed last night and hit the jackpot early this morning. The Brothers woke me up during the night at exactly the right time. Straight at +9, when Levemir starts to gear on, I performed a test to capture what’s happening. There is no way Small Kitty could have dive between +4 and +9 so he slowly moved up until the insulin brought him back down. Would have been nice if he went lower but it’s not bad for a cat deep into the red zone. Sad I’m not home today to see at what time he’s going down and back up. With luck he might have keep on going down to reach green tonight. It’s not impossible but doubtful. What’s more probable is a +8-10 going too low for his comfort and kicking him back up.
He’s then going to go back up in the evening. The question is how high he’s going to go, I’m expecting the worst.
Another question was also answered last night, there is no ketone or blood cell in his urine, he’s clean for this. Glucose is deadly thought, up to the roof L. He was nice to let me gather the precious juice and test. He received some treat for that cooperation. I didn’t lost any time and tested right away.
So we now know that the dive is in most probably in the second haft of the cycle and will take 2-3 days to recover L. That’s a pretty high cost for all that work…
Any point of view in regards of this new discovery and how to prevent the next flight in the stratosphere ?
Wish you all have a good day.
