Gobby's fine--extremely bratty darn near obnoxious yesterday and his numbers are weird but I think he is slowly getting regulated because his bounces are not lasting as long as they were (now about 1-2 cycles). He slid from 387 PMPS last night, to 223 +6 to 169 +12 (and I did shoot him at +12 169).

I bought Gobby some catnip and a toy mouse for his Valentines Day gift. He hasn't had loose catnip since before dx. Probably a dumb question, but since the dumbest question is the one that isn't asked: Does catnip have carbs in it? If so, would it affect BG???
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169

Nice blue to start the day, hope it continues. Good luck with moving your shot time. I had to move Zeus' shot time last week, I think I went too fast and got some really high numbers. I shoot at 6 am & pm, which is pretty good for me. During the week I can get home for lunch at around the nadir and then just have to set an alarm for the PM cycle.

Have a good day,
Kathie

I thought the same thing. Nice AMPS, Gobbles!

I'm happy with his numbers; it seems that his bounces are clearing faster; in just a few cycles bcatrun_gif I am debating on just keeping his shot time at 6/6; makes a lot of sense, and if I'm a little tired during the day (from 5.5 hours of sleep), I can take a nap at nadir :mrgreen:

Morning Kat ~O)

Nice cool blue AMPS today, hopefully a nice bounce-cleared cycle coming :smile:

I was shooting 5am/5pm (getting up @4:30 @-) ) I'm cheating now :lol: I get up @5 and try to get the dance done as quicky as I can,
but I shoot the PM at 5 or slightly before, so I'm always a bit (but less than half hour) early on the PM shot.

As everyone here knows, 24 hours in a day just isn't enough... I want at least seven hours between a safe bedtime and AMPS, but
the d**n clock just won't cooperate...

Hve a great day!

I hear ya. Before his dx (and for a while thereafter, when I wasn't doing regular testing) I was usually getting 8-9 hours a sleep per night. Since I've been more stringent with his testing, I get about 5.5 hours each night, however, I have more energy (usually) and actually started using my treadmill!!!
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87

Wow - nice +4 there for Gobbles!!!

Lucky you on the increased energy! I used to sleep no later than 7:00...now, with all the breaks in sleep for testing and getting up at 5 :00 every day no matter what, if I can, I sleep till 11:00 or so!

I'm so happy with that +4 87 :-D I'll have to keep an eye on him today....will get a +6 here shortly (or maybe a +5.5) So you probably get 5-6 hours of straight sleep then? I wouldget more sleep if I went to bed earlier, but I read at night for at least 2 hours (I read a lot of chunky books and just can't get myself to put them down!!!)...Is her shot time still at 6:00?
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87

Looking good there, Gobbles! Hope you have a nice green surf :mrgreen:

And totally relate about staying up late reading. I am an insomniac, so I get most of my work done at night when everybody else is asleep.

Look at you with the green smiley face icon!

Re: HELP 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59

How about trying some low carb first and seeing if that puts Gobbles on a surfboard. Re-test in 30 min. and if numbers are still coming down, add some carbs.
 
Re: HELP 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59

Yes, and don't panic. Gobbles might be trying to tell you that he would like a dose decrease, so try LC first.

Sienne asked me to help out (she didn't know Carl was around). She's working.

As they said, try the LC and retest in 30. You've done similar numbers...you can do this but we will be here for you.

Marje,
I leave for work in 15 minutes....

Done....he ate 1/2 can LC...was very hungry. I'll be getting his +6 (30 minute re-test) at 12 noon EST.

Thanks. I did just that. I know from experience that if I would of fed him MC off the top, he would probably pay for it later with a red or black BG.

Put the :mrgreen: back on! This is the happy dance:-)

Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59

Ok...I'm around. Have a great day at work, Carl!

Just post your next test in the subject line, pls, Kat. I'm also helping someone else. Thank you :-D
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59 +6 79,87

Done Marje. I'm fine now. He went up to 79, then I re-tested w/same drop of blood, and got 87!
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59 +6 79,87

You are doing a great job Kat! :YMHUG:

You handled the lower numbers before and know what to do and Gobbles looks fantastic! :thumbup

Happy 'V' Day gurl!! :-D
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles AMPS 169 +4 87 +5.25 59 +6 79,87

Wonderful! Great job!! Be sure you get another test in an hour or so.

Thanks. Those lower numbers aren't scary once you've (with the help of our experienced friends) gone through it a few times. And a happy V Day to you too!!!

Yeah, I creep around at night while my husband sleeps...in fact, sneak into the bedroom to get Gobby's BG--its a pretty good trick when there is hardly no light!!!

BTW, NC Kitties--are you a member of the FB Feline Diabetes or Lantus Land group(s)???
 
Re: 2/14 Gobbles PMPS 338 ? catnip

I don't think anyone answered this but catnip is a grass, and because cats are carnivores they can't digest it so it just passes through them. So even if it is carbs, it won't impact the BG.

Thanks Wendy. That makes a lot of sense. Good thing--I got Gob a new tub of catnip and a toy mouse (and freeze-dried treats!) for his valentine gift and he made a pig of himself. And boy did I get some cute pics!
