very nice.

you sound tired and like you've got a long day ahead. we're more conservative when kitties are new to lantus. i think ruby is surfing very nicely. if i were you, i'd probably set out some food for her and go to bed. but . . . you know how you feel, do you want to stay up and check her again in 30, or do you want to leave her food out?

i'll be up either way, so it's all good to me. what would you like to do?

Its only 20 minutes until the next test. I'll hang out for it. That will put at 2 hours after her last snack. She really didn't spike much from that one. It seems like her spikes are shrinking.

She's really responding to this better and faster than I ever hoped for. The vet had wanted us to change on 2/11 but I was dead convinced that she just needed more time on the PZI. That obviously wasn't true. I still don't expect remission, but if we can keep her under 180, I will be beyond happy.

hehe - you might not be hoping for remission, but ruby is in charge! she'll do what she does!

ok, see you in a few! you're doing great.

+7 90
Wrong direction Ruby!

Should I feed her again?
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

welllllll that's the equivalent of a 60, which is a perfectly great number. i think it's your choice, depending on the whole staying up thing. it's good to know how long she can surf her and hold the low point of her cycle. personally, i wouldn't feed her, just check her again in 20-30 minutes. surely at some point she's going to start back up.

if you're dying and desperate for sleep, though, definitely put out low carb for her to help her surf.

what would you like to do?

btw, it's not unusual for numbers to wobble a little bit - plus meters have a little bit of variance so it's still basically a surf. that's not enough to say they're dropping.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

I'll stay up. A big line of ugly storms is supposed to roll thru in a couple of hours that will probably end up waking me up again anyway! :lol:
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

ok. sounds good. who needs sleep anyway, eh? :lol:

we've got a winter blast moving in tonight and might have enough to cancel schools tomorrow. woo-hoo!

i'm good til about 11:20 and then need to head for bed. i'm thinking you've got the drill down - are you ok if i go to bed? if you want me to stay, i will.

Hi Julie, I will be up for another hour or so if Amy needs help.

Hi Amy! You are doing great, and Ruby sure is keeping you dancing. :lol:
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

Its over 60 degrees here right now. In February. In Missouri. That's just downright freakish.

No need to stay up for us. We can handle it.

My only concern is shooting in the morning if she's got a low number. That still freaks me out, especially if I can't be here to watch her like a hawk.

Hey, I didn't realize you were in MO! I live right on the MO/KS border. We just had that storm and it was pretty noisy and knocked some stuff over in my yard. :lol:
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

thanks melissa! you're an angel!

so amy, if ya need help/advice, edit your subject line from the first post and melissa will give you a hand.

in the morning, just post and ask for advice. usually there's someone online that can help with a preshot decision. dyana gets on really early - like in about 4 hours from now and there are others too.

great job, amy!
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

Yup. I'm in StL. My sister is out your way, at Ft. Leavenworth.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

Yeah, I'll be back up in about 4 hours!

Thanks for hanging out with me Julie! I do appreciate all of the advice.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

Yeah, Fort Leavenworth is not far from here at all. You have to be up in 4 hours?! :o
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +5.5 91 +6

I get up between 5:00 and 5:30 to get ready for work. I'll probably go closer to 6:00 though because she usually gets her shot around 6:10.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +6 97 +7 1

+7.5 back to 114

I'm going to put out some LC food and try to catch some Zzzzzzs. She's really really not happy with me right now. There was a hiss and a bit of wrestling on this last test, which she's never done before. Not that I blame her. Her poor little ears are so beaten up.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +7 90 +7.5

UUUUGh.

+11 389

Its probably that she got into the food about an hour ago because I managed to not wake up around 3:00 to take it up.
 
Re: 2/28 Ruby (AT) AMPS 297 PMPS 249 +4 111 +5 95 +7 90 +7.5

Oh! The storms! Ruby hates storms. She was pacing around on the bed for a good half hour or so. Could the stress of that caused a bit of a spike also?
