Amps 346 Libre

Today we are fasting for lab work at 5 pm (+11).
Never done this kind of schedule before.
I lowered her dose a smidge last night and today so she doesn’t dive through the am cycle and I can’t feed her

I thought I had lowered her to 2 units 2 days ago, but I actually had her at 2 F
So I took her to 2 units last night.
I plan to take her back up to 2 F tonight. Hoping the day goes ok so I can do that.

Giving her one snack now at +1 then she’ll be fasting for the day. Very nervous about this and giving insulin

I fed her the new turkey recipe last night and this morning hoping her blood will be less lipemic than her normal lamb diet (more fatty)
She seems to eagerly eat the turkey. Guess she was bored with one novel protein for many years
So much to consider it’s exhausting.
Hope everyone has a safe surfing day with good eating for all

Good luck for today, I hope she won't be too upset! Will you hide to eat yourself?

I thought a reduction last night and today would help with keeping her safe.....keeping paws crossed!!
But you're right....1/2 dose would work too!
I hate fasting her, makes me so nervous!

BIG hugs back to you both!

That sounds stressful, but looks like her pancreas cooperated for the fast Good luck with the vet appt today! Be good Ivy

This definitely sounds stressful, but it looks like it's going okay, BG-wise? Best of luck with the vet today, I know that's always pretty tough for Ivy.

It was a little nerve wracking when she began a dip earlier, but she never went too low, whew...a little stressful there.
Now we just need to get through the appointment

We made it ok so far with the fasting....now to get through the blood draw and back home in time for dinner and shot time, it will be close
