Day time seems to be higher numbers than night time. We started to see yellow before I went to bed last night. I didn't test Neko at 5 this morning as I was out the door in a rush and it was 3 hours before breakfast and AMPS, but she seemed in a good mood. She was asking for food by rubbing legs instead of mewing. It's been a few months since I've seen her that relaxed. Perhaps also because she wasn't really expecting anything although they do get a dried chicken treat when we are up the early mornings.
I'm having a hard time figuring out when her nadir might be by looking at her spreadsheet. The pattern in the evening is different than during the day. In the day she goes up after AMPS and seems to be a nadir later towards dinner. The evening seems to follow the classic pattern. I guess I have to have another curve day to figure it out. There was also some NDW confusing the issue.
Today was chemo day for my friend's dog. She is out of town so I said I'd take him to chemo. He had skipped a treatment last week because his neutrophils were too low (a classic problem of his even before lymphoma), but they had bounced back up this week with really good blood test results. The dog LOVES his chemo treatments. They don't impact him much, other than some whisker loss, and he actually looks forward to his treatments because he gets lots of attention and cookies while he gets his drip. He is always excited to see his girls (the techs) and even sits up in the car as we get close to the vets office. He is in remission and has been since the 3rd week of treatment. Way bouncier than before treatment started. There is a lot of similarity of language between chemo and diabetes. I was talking to the oncologist about chemo nadirs today.
