oh yeah, i hear ya on that. punkin used to sleep on my chest, face aimed at me, and purr non-stop. on a saturday afternoon who could possibly stay awake through that? we joke in our family that he exhales "sleep molecules." resistance is futile.
besides, you deserve a nap after handling your morning so well.

ok, you have a couple of choices. It will depend on how aggressive you want to be.
Ruby is probably bouncing from the green. She is a bouncy girl, plus she hasn't seen much green lately so her liver is probably responding by dumping extra glucose. It happens (as you know). Some of us will shoot through the bounce, giving the old dose for one more cycle to help the cat clear the bounce more quickly. Then you would reduce the dose tomorrow morning. The risk is that we don't know how long Ruby's bounces will last on Lantus. On PZ it looks like she usually bounced for 2-3 cycles, but that might be completely irrelevant now. If she does clear the bounce quickly, you might end up with another active cycle tonight.
Or you can go ahead and reduce tonight. That might make the bounce last a little longer, or it might not.
Neither choice is wrong, it's just what you are comfortable with. If she was mine, I would probably hold the 1u dose and reduce tomorrow, since she is starting out pretty high tonight. I'm known for being aggressive, though. ;-)

nope, her new dose is 0.75 units BID. She earned the reduction by going under 80 (AlphaTrak).
If the reduction fails, you go back to the last good dose, but you'll want to give the reduction some time before deciding it failed. Let's cross that bridge if/when we come to it. :mrgreen:

great job today! Mikey used to give me fits when we started him as he would drop very low very fast! He still does, but I've gotten better at managing with food and it's a lot less scary now! Ruby is a beautiful girl and you are a good Momma!
