3/30 Darcy PMPS 308, +3 279, +4 248, +5 255

Good morning! I was glad to see a lower preshot this morning, but I just don't "get" my cat on R. Some days it drops him a lot, other days .... nothing.... today is a nothing day. I wish my cat was normal.

I can't remember if I ever said this before... but when Darcy was first diagnosed, I was so relieved that it was "only diabetes." Oh... we should be able to manage that... how hard can it be.... you just give them insulin twice a day and voila... you get glucose control and he goes back to feeling well and doesn't just lie around all the time, etc. I was so relieved that it was not kidney disease causing him to drink tons of water and have such a poor haircoat. I guess it's a good thing that we don't know the future.

Having said all that... as I sit here typing, my daughter is playing with Darcy with a ribbon and he's actually rolling around and playing with it and seems to be enjoying himself. It will be short-lived, but he's liking it!

I hope for many more moments of Mr. Darcy playing with your daughter and a ribbon. Come down to the beach today, Mr. Darcy...there may even be a ribbon for you to play with.

 

Nice on the playing. I hope Darcy slides down today.

 

Mr Darcy earns this . Numbers looking better than yesterday!

 

Not as wonky today. A little better.

 

Still not too bad... quite flat so far. About an hour left in this cycle. I gave a small 2% snack at about +10 so who knows what I'll get for PMPS, but I doubt it will raise his BG much.

 

What happens on an R cycle depends on what's happening with the L cycle too. If he's bouncing, sometimes the R just flattens him out or prevents higher numbers from a bounce (a good thing). And it's possible today's cycle was that last bit of NDW. And also, sometimes Levemir is just a lot flatter than Lantus.

On the good news side, you are starting to see what is mostly the Lev and work, and not a combo with Lantus. You notice any difference with Darcy with the shots?

 

Not bad today.

 

Nope. That boy just munches away on a bit of food while I shoot and never seems to notice a thing He never reacted to the Lantus... not even a twitch or a quiver. I'm glad he didn't turn into a maniac as I have heard of some other cats doing on large doses of Lantus.

 

Always nice to see more yellows than pinks. Keep at it, Suzanne. Mr. Darcy is one lucky kitty.

 

Thanks, Katherine! Say hi to Ruby from us!

 

He's going down. I hope he won't bounce tomorrow if he goes lower than he's comfortable with tonight.

 

Looks like Mr Darcy just wanted a pretty sunset today after his super flat day. Those are the set of numbers that make you wonder if there's a problem with the meter . Back to Mr Sunshine now for the night-after-the-full-moon! (or maybe more than one night, it's just a blur to me)

 

Good luck with the R tonight! I'm watching over Minnie!
