3/28 Shadow PMPS 572 +4 403 +7 497

[BradB]

Sorry been busy lately because some stuff happened and I haven't been able to test him as I should be..and I have to leave +3 after AM shot and won't be around to test him....

I am definitely having some scheduling issues because stuff has been hectic lately but it's kinda out of my hands.

Hopefully everything settles down soon.

On a good note shadow seems to have gained some weight but his litter box is still pretty bad.

Hope you and all your kitties are doing well.

Hi Brad. It's good to see a condo from you.

Are the ??? in your spreadsheat because your mom was doing the shot and couldn't test? If so, I would write that in the comments section.

I'm glad he's gained a little weight.
How is Shadow acting?

I hope you to see you around more, so we can help you get him regulated.

Hi Dyana,

I know, I'm sorry for not keeping up. The ???'s are in fact because my mother gave him his shot that time and i've updated the comment section accordingly.

He felt a few pounds heavier today, but i think it's because he's eaten so much!

I will try my best to continue posting so we can get him regulated. Hopefully his numbers start dropping soon. Overall he does seem to be doing better though, If i wasn't going by his numbers.

Good. Shadow is more than just a bunch of numbers cat_pet_icon
If you can start to get some tests in mid cycle, then we can try to adjust his dose.
I am gone all day at work and can not come home for lunch, so I set an alarm and get mid cycle tests at night. And then on my days off, I get the mid cycle tests during the day. See if you can get some more of those ;-)
We want to help Shadow get even better.

What are the hours that I should be trying to test at? I usually do +4 and +6, and the BG numbers start rising after that.

Hopefully, you'll get some more answers from others about that during the course of the day.
I have to leave in a few minutes. Sorry. My cat is on Levemir and he usually goes up after feeding, and then around +4 he starts to go down, and is usually at his lowest point at around +8 or so. But, Shadow seems to be using the insulin differently, right now at this time. Cats do like to change things up, so he may change his onset and nadir, basically when he feels like it :roll: because he's a cat. But how, about trying to get a test between +6 and +8 today, or more if you can.
Good luck, and I hope you have a good day, both of you.

Looks like Mum gave the shot this morning but you have forgotten to enter it on your ss, any chance she can learn how to test as well? I suspect Shadow is not falling lower than the pink zone and needs more juice but just can't be sure because of the cycles where there are no tests. It's possible he's getting lower and bouncing.

My Mum is over for a visit right now and has learnt to do the tests quite easily (although she did hit a vein on her first solo try - she got busted because she hadn't quite managed to clean up all the blood by the time I got home :lol: ) on the other hand she is not comfortable dealing with the shot like your Mum. If yours can give it a try it would be wonderful. When mine has been in charge I have asked her to try testing an hour earlier than I actually want and then not to worry if unsuccessful just try again in half an hour if unsuccessful try again in another half hour - I think this really helped her to feel like the pressure was off.
