Good Morning, LL!!

Sorry to MIA....life has just been BUSY....even though I haven't been around much, I have tried to peek in everyday or two. Lots of new names!!!

Zoe is doing well and is happy purry furry.

I do have a question.....I am going away next week for 5 days (DN is in her first Orchestra Concert, so I must go!). My DF and petsitter will be taking care of lil Ms Zoe.....she does a fantastic job, but is unable to check her BGs.....Zoe shows her tortie-tude big time whenever she tries, so she will be shooting blind....what would be an appropriate dose to keep Zoe safe? I am thinking 1 unit twice a day. DPS has a full-time job with sometimes crazy hours, but she said she should be able to stick fairly closely to the 12 hour schedule.....Zoe's auto-feeder will be used. DF's husband will be stopping by once or twice during the day to check in on Zoe.

Re: 12/6 Zoe AMPS 109 +3 67 +6 92 and a Dose ??

Hi Sherry! Great to "see" you and Zoe again! Good to see Zoe's been steady in her normal Zoe numbers! Of course, I don't have any advice, but I normally only shave Jetta down when DH is on duty, but I'm cutting back by half this trip. Have a fun trip next week and try to stay warm!!!

Hi Sherry!!

As one tortie's bean to another, Gabby is exactly the same way. Feel free to take a look at our SS and you'll see what I do. My pet sitter is a vet tech and is wonderful but Gabby will not allow her to test under any circumstances. (Well, maybe under some circumstances but i think my DPS values her hands.) I would probably cut the dose by 1/3 to 1/2 depending on what makes you the most comfortable. The other factor to consider is if Zoe eats when you're gone. I cut the dose down because Gabby will not eat reliably.

Thanks, Sienne.....my DPS has no problems with shooting insulin, giving Zoe her flovent...but Zoe will not allow a BG check. It is amazing how this sweet little loving kitty becomes so nasty when she tries testing her. I will probably reduce to 1 unit....most times Zoe eats pretty well and I don't want to worry the whole time I am gone (this will be my first trip away while Zoe is on insulin nailbite_smile ).

Thanks again for your input....I have been looking at Gabby's SS.....always full of good info.
