Re: 3/15 Do Lou amps 309

Great to hear that your kitty is perkier!!

I want to make two suggestions. Please don't forget to get PM spot checks. Try to get at least a before bed test every night. Many cats have lower numbers at night. In addition, by not getting PM checks, you are missing half of your data.

Second, while DM may be relatively low in carbs, it's still 13% carb -- which is not a low carb (i.e., less than 10%) food. It is also not a decent quality food -- it's primary source of protein is poultry by-products. Dry food also hangs around in the system far longer than a high or medium carb canned food. I strongly suspect you will see a very positive effect on Do Lou's numbers if you get rid of the dry stuff.

+ 9 354 was not able to be home at the six today son had wisdom teeth taken out anyway regardless of the dry food critics out there he is eating well and has gained weight and at this time will never be 100% wet I just want him to eat and IMO DM is not that bad of a food so would prefer the end of the dry food lectures if you guys do not mind please I know its better but its just not what we are doing right now. He is feeling so much better this week purring and playing some again and sleeping with me and has gained 4oz and he needed that so much. :mrgreen:

Hi Lisa...stopping by to invite Do Lou to the St. Patrick's Day party at our place on Wed...my two kitties just love to have parties and they have been busy decorating for over a week now. It will be a great opportunity for Do Lou to meet everyone.
(Raja was my dry food carbo freak all her life up until last Feb when I switched them both to canned exclusively. I had been told that the dry kept their teeth clean!!! I had been feeding them dry for 12 years!!! Raja went OTJ in Dec after being on insulin from August. Her brother Shadow is still making his way down the dosing ladder.)

I agree with Sienne about getting the BG check before bedtime. Hope your son is ok....

Lisa - most of us would test at like +2 PMPS and then right before we go to bed. Depending on what time you give your PM shots. For example: Webber would always get his PM shot at 6pm. So I would usually get a +3 or +4 during my work week. Of course on the weekends I would be up a little later and could get some spot checks up until +5. Then there are those nights where they are having alot of action and you end up staying awake to make sure they don't drop too much :mrgreen:

I would suggest maybe a +2 and +4? Usually right before you to bed.

Also, getting a +2 sometimes give you an idea as to how that cycle will go. Our little sugarkitties can really throw a curve ball sometimes and drop quite a bit by +2, and that is when you have to keep an eye on them, because it is still pretty early in the cycle and still a lot more time for them to continue to drop.
