Well i hope its on that this thread is quiet today. At least today he is eating, alert, taking his meds, & poop is not soupy.
Now if how would pee for me.
He waited till I was in shower or not home today to do so.
Ketone test asap
 
Hugs Darnell - the whole board seems to be very quiet today....I came over to check on Sprocket. Glad to hear he's eating, alert and seems to be improving.

I kept a sharpie marker in my cat food cabinet - until I learned them by memory, I wrote carb count on top. I keep my 'hypo kit' cans labeled as my brain tends to go on vacation if I see a low number.

Yep ketone test asap and hope it's just fine...

HUGS,

Looks like he is bouncing from last night's low blue so not completely due to the higher carb food. It is a fun dance to learn, keep at it and it gets easier on the nerves as time goes on. You mention the 403 was after you fed this morning. Generally we try not to feed 2 hours before shot times so that the pre-shot test is not food influenced. This is usually when a cat is in lower numbers and the idea is to stall 15-30 minutes without feeding and retest to see whether they are still dropping or starting to rise.

Good to hear he is eating and taking a new antibiotic for the UTI. That covers 2 of the 3 big things that can lead to DKA. Numbers look like they are headed in the right direction.

There isn't a lot of data yet in the spreadsheet, but it looks like he clears bounces in about a day. If that stays true, you might be looking at him clearing the bounce late tonight/early tomorrow and seeing some good numbers again.

I marked the top of the high carb cans with a sharpie too for easy reference and to prevent any possible confusion.
 
I am thinking he goes low at night so I try to feed spread out. I used to goto bed at 2am so he was used to eating then n it lasted on belly till 6pm.
I got up to feed at 3am for this reason. 3 hours before his preshot test.
Ketone negative twice tonight.! One was with midstream!
Looking at some of food in that book and its scary what I was feeding him before and never knew it.
Alot if stuff to look up when i get the time.
Sleep when i can lately. Knowing what to shoot ahead of time n having a plan calmed my nerves some.
So far so good.
Fluids too 2x a day. 100ml both to flush it.
Hope to reduce soon.
Alot of info today from Gayle on a fb group. She is like an info encyclopedia!!
Still looking up the info.
But said his ear meds is a steroid n can raise bgs. Never knew it was steroid!
Will try to figure out how to add meds he has on ss.
Gonna do a midnight n 3am bg to see what happens.
Ok. Nap time!

Easiest way to tackle that food list is to start with the carbs column - scan down it until you see low carb THEN look at the food. It will save you a lot of time starting off...my brain would hit info overload and 'xplode before I got anywhere near the end when I tried to read the foods first. :)

WONDERFUL on 2 ketone tests negative! I told KT before he crossed and now tell Dakota to 'pee on my stick' to let them know what I was doing. It makes me giggle too...
