Good afternoon, Lantus Land neighbors!
We're sending out lots of hugs and skritches to all the kitties and beans in the neighborhood today.

I didn't post yesterday. We were preparing for a dinner party. We'd invited over Clare's sub caregiver, Jenna, and two of DH's friends, who all work with him at the local Y. DH, who is a wonderful cook, was making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.
All was in readiness, the salad made and chilling, dessert cooling, and the sauce simmering on the stove, when I noticed that I hadn't heard from Clare in awhile -- and I knew she was awake. I went into the kitchen and ACK! ohmygod_smile she had somehow pushed a meatball out of the sauce (which was on the stovetop in a wok-type pan) onto the floor and was eating it! She ate about a third of it.
The rest of the night, as you can imagine, her BGs were very high. This morning they were coming under control; but we lowered her dose in preparation for leaving for the night for a trip to Madison. Jenna's trying out a new protocol and doing the testing, at least at PS, for the first time. We lowered Clare's dose to 0.1 last night (the plunge-and-release method gives us about that on our syringes).
So it's been quite a time for Clare. She seems unfazed: waking us up at the usual time, wanting to go for walks in the snow about every 10 minutes, hungry and thirsty, and just her 5 lbs., 15-oz. of amazing self.
Blessings to everyone -- I know we get our share, for sure!

:lol: I take it these meatballs aren't just meat, if it raised her BG? Oh well, at least she didn't eat pasta! :lol: :lol: :lol:
