I think he normally eats a few tablespoons (not teaspoons) at a time.. I will be testing in approx 5 mins from now

If you're feeling nervous, you can make that 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes to get the test. By my calculations that's just about now. It normally takes 15-20 minutes for the food to kick in, which is why we usually say 20-30, but you can check earlier if it will make you feel better.

Oh, perfect! We cross-posted there.

As far as feeding, the reason we give small amounts when they drop in low numbers is so that we don't over-carb them or get them too full if we need them to keep eating. When you see low numbers, the goal is to get them up with food, and then to eventually get 2 consecutive non-influenced rising numbers, spaced 30 minutes apart, to be sure they are coming up on their own.

he ate that little spoonful of food within a few seconds.. should i post his number before giving him more food?
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

That's really just a surf. Go ahead and feed him a bit more, a couple of spoonfuls should be fine. After he eats, wait 20 minutes and test again.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

He isnt acting interested in his food.. I tried a few different kinds..


However he did want his freeze dried chicken treat (usually give him 1 after testing) so I gave him 1 and he just ate that

Hey ladies

Just got back from the airport. looking good! What a great job the three of you and Jupe are doing!

Courtney...do you need to go to bed? I can stay up with Jamie if you are ready for some sleep. My sis lives in CDT zone so she is exhausted and went straight to bed. Let me know :-D
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

I will try to sprinkle some of the crumbs from the freeze dried chicken treats on top

Hi Marje! Glad your sis got here safely. If you're going to be up, I think I will go to bed. Long day ahead (and a paper due :shock: ) so I should really get some rest tonight. Silly Kis just dipped into the greens, though, so I will probably be up for a little while longer.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

I can be up. I think Jupiter may it be too persistent tonight. Go ahead and get some rest. Thanks to you and Wendy!

Jamie...doing great! Please just post your next number.

Ni Ni C! Thank you so much!
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

okay he ate a little bit of the food - i think hes done now.. other cats decided they would like to eat now too so putting the food back out but jupiter is here right beside me
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

Anytime! I am going to be around for the next 30 minutes to get K's +5, and then will turn in. Jamie, wonderful job tonight! Jupiter is doing such a good job, and so are you! :-D Ni ni guys! Hope Jupe comes up soon and surfs safely.

Another thing worth mentioning --- don't panic if you get a very high number in the morning. That's what we call a "bounce" which can sometimes happen if the BGs dip lower than they usually do. The Pancreas is an emotional organ that panics and start dumping glucagon causing a spike in BG. That being said, I hope these blue streaks will become a new trend for your boy :)
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

I'd give him 30. It takes about that long for the carbs to hit the blood.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

okay will post here after the test, thank you alll sooo sooo much for the help tonight
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

next test coming up in 4 minutes will post here - do i need to add it to my subject line or just post here
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

Both is fine...you can take all the text after the numbers out of the subject line. Usually once you get help or get a question answered, we ask that you take down the ? Or the "need advice" so we can assist someone else :-D
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105 need a

Ok...will he eat a couple of tsps of food? LC is best if you have it and retest in 30. Sound good?
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99

he doesnt eat LC he eats MC right now still transitioning him (he eats pate mixed with shreds) I will try to get him to eat again - struggled last time..
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99

I couldn't remember which he ate. I hope you can get him to eat at least one tsp.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter PMPS-287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99

okay he seemed very eager to eat this time.. just ate a few tsps.. ate it pretty quickly
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

I am really worried =[

I am going to try to see if he will eat some of his regular food for now til someone gives me advice
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

He took a few licks but not much at all.... very worried... not sure what to do now
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

I'm so sorry! I fell asleep.

Retest him 30 mins from last test pls. He's at a very very safe number at 87.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

its been 30 minutes - hes at 86 now. should i try feeding him or anything?
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

If he will eat, that's fine. Looks like he is leveling off. Either way, how about another test in 30 and if he's up you can leave out food and go to bed. I'll be awake this time !
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

Its okay. I just tried to remain calm and set a timer to test again 30 mins after he took those few licks. hes at 86.
 
Re: 4/10 Jupiter 287/+2-193/+3-187/+4-158/+5-105/+6-99/87 he

Do you have some higher carb food? If so give him a tsp. recheck in 30. He's still fine. Safe number.
 
Here's a recap:

PMPS: 287
+2: 193
+3: 187
+4: 158
+5: 105
+6: 99
+6.5: 87
+7: 86
+7.5: 69

He should be nadiring soon and heading back up. Normally, I would not feed HC this late in the cycle but I know you are tired.
 
Just put a little of the FF gravy lovers out for him and accidently left the can on the floor... he ended up getting a little more of it then I intended. He licked up a lot of the gravy out of it.

Gotta be more careful next time - Im getting realllllllyyy tired.

Will test again in 30 mins from when he finished the food.
 
in 30 mins it will be +9

sorry am a little confused myself (his shot was given 15 mins late - so 15 mins behind schedule) and the +'s arent exact since ive been testing so long after he eats. i have all the exact times written down on a notebook if needed
 
I am sorry - I cant think straight..

This is whats in my notebook - I always write down the time and BG number.

PMPS 9:14pm 287
11:35pm - 193
12:25am - 187
1:22am - 158
2:07am - 105
2:42 am - 101
3:26am - 99
4:04 am - 87
4:55 am - 86
5:25 am - 69

The times are always different because I was testing 30 mins after he was done eating.
