And it looks like I get an early finish for a few days while I'm training which is quite a nice gently way back into working too
Though she's already eaten at least 2 dinners I think - I had to make sure Regan actually got some food tonight!!
She even likes the honey when I have to add that. Though I don't think she's realized that if she keeps going down the doses like she has been, she won't be getting any more gravy or honey...or pj parties...but let's not tell her that
She must have thought it was all her birthdays and Christmases come at once!! I remember thinking that not so long ago when Rosa went under 50 for the first time - I was literally waiting for her to have a seizure or go into a coma the moment she went below 50 lol. Serryn was helping me and told me to give her a little honey (fortunately she stressed the little or I'd probably have had the lid off the jar of honey and offered her the whole thing)!! I totally misread the numbers on the needleless syringe I was using - I said I'd given her 1.5ml when I'd actually given her 0.3! Fortunately, the 0.3 seemed to be enough.
Once when my Lucy had a reading of 2.3/41 when I picked her up she was very grumpy and growling and the vet suggested maybe cats gets grumpy when their glucose levels are low like people do. I thought I would tell you that as I found it interesting that your Rosa seemed a bit grumpy too.So for the first time ever, Rosa did seem to show slight symptoms at the 41 tonight - when I picked her up for the test, she tried to bite me...not hard, but she NEVER does that. I think she was feeling a bit off - though if I maybe got a meter reading towards the +20%, she might actually have been quite well down in the 30s.
I doubt I'll make a habit of testing Regan - she was there and I was kind of curious about what her normal level might be, and what sort of numbers might be reasonable to expect from Rosa at a similar point in the day as they were both fed at the same time. Didn't seem to bother her any though
My old vet thought Rosa might get headaches occasionally - apparently some cats just do, the same way some people do. So I wonder if she got a headache from being low - I know if I go too long without eating I get a headache, and I don't generally have any sort of BG problem. She's been fine with the tests since then so it has to have been related to the number somehow. And she clearly is very, very carb sensitive - the small amount of hc and one drop of honey brought her right back up within half an hour. She seems just fine now - and she got her reduction too which is good. 
I'm glad she did it at night when you are home. Now you get to try those really small doses!
You and Rosa are doing very well and congratulations on the reduced dose.Thank you - that does help to know.
I'm glad I was home too - I'm not sure how she'd have done if Michael had had to test her when she was grumpy as she's very definitely MY cat so it's as well I was here. I'm going to have to get the calipers out first thing in the morning and figure out the 0.1 dose - hopefully with just enough left to measure that I can still go down to 'a drop' if she gets herself another reduction...she's gone so fast I'd prefer not to withdraw all insulin support too quickly now!! I think I'd be just as scared to stop it completely as I was when I started giving it to her.
Yes - it was definitely vet stress. It was a Sunday and he was having a cystitis episode so a long drive across town cause his vet was closed, waiting in a vet clinic with barky dogs, then a male vet - all in a skittish cat. Thank goodness I could test him at home and rule out another vet visit.
way to go Rosa
