2/13 Bella AMPS 93, +1 116, +3 143, PMPS 420
Still high this morning, I guess she needs time to clear hat bounce. She's doing well, though. She was up very early!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

She is lower than she was at PMPS last night. Wonder if she will clear the bounce today.
Btw, would it be possible to get a test every night before bed?

I can try, for sure! I give her her shot at 7 Pm, so I can at least get one at 9 or 10. Later than that, on weekends, but probably not during the week.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but why do you use an AlphaTrak? The strips are much more expensive than a human meter.

 

[cecile & bella]

I know. I looked at human meters, my vet said she was afraid they would read too high or too low. And I could not decide which one I should buy. There is a CVS close to me, they have one that looks like the Relion from Walmart but CVS brand, at $9.99. Is it good, or is there a specific one that's better?
So to answer your question, I could use a human meter. It's just that I cannot decide!

 

[cecile & bella]

It looks like she is clearing it, she's at 120 now, +4.

The most popular one is ReliOn. Not sure if that's because it's the most economical. It's $9 for the meter and $18 for 100 strips.

That's quite a dip. Did you feed some LC? Will you be able to get another test later in the cycle? Say +6?

Thank you. I'll look into that.
I just tested her, we're at +8, she's at 176 now. She ate right after I tested her this morning, Tikki cats, it's O carbs.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

With her starting lower at PMPS, it would be good to get a +2

89. She's eating now, and then hopefully she won't get too low later!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Will you be able to get another test at +3? Below 68 on the AT is too low.
With SLGS she has earned another reduction to 3.5U.

 

[cecile & bella]

I was waiting she's 91 now. And eating her snack.

This is +3? Looks like she has flattened out. You could leave food out for her and call it a night

 

[cecile & bella]

Yes, that's +3. She just ate, she usually goes to bed and sleeps until morning, if I put more food out now she will eat it, sjhe loves to eat
