Yesterday 4/16: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...9-5-75-273-8-5-238-10-75-244-pmps-240.228414/

Well, unless Disco gets a green today, tomorrow it will be time for an increase. The last time we tried to go up to three units, it only lasted 24 hours before I had to go down again so I’m a bit apprehensive. The sticky info says “Adjustments to dose are based on nadirs with only some consideration given to preshot numbers.After 3 days (6 consecutive cycles)... if nadirs are greater than 200, but less than 300 increase the dose by 0.25 unit.”.

I’m not sure if any of the tinkering I’ve done with his snacks at test time have made any difference at all in his numbers, and I think I recall reading that you shouldn’t feed after the nadir, but I’m still having trouble deciding where the heck that is for Disco on a daily basis, but maybe I’ll feed in the mornings at test times and not in the PM’s and see if that makes a difference. Any suggestions appreciated!

Today’s photo of Disco is in a cute little striped hoodie, but it’s supposed to be close to 80 today, but it still gets chilly at night, so I guess that I won’t pack this up in his winter gear yet, HaHaMeow!

I wonder if you could fatten the dose instead of doing the full .25u increase. Disco could be one of those kitties

I recall reading that you shouldn’t feed after the nadir, but I’m still having trouble deciding where the heck that is for Disco on a daily basis

I agree that strategy may not be for Disco consistently. He likes his descents beyond +6. He is a tricky one.

I hope you can get some varied opinions to help ease your "anxiety" about the dosecrease. Good luck
Have a wonderful day Teri. Be good Disco

Yeah this one sure took a long time to get out of though I was beginning to get a bit anxious and it’s 12:15 AM I think I’ll do one more test before I relax a bit

As he went below 50 three times in the same cycle, does he get a dose decrease tomorrow morning?

Its: "3 drops between 40 - 50 mg/dL on three separate days for kitties who have shown they do not hold reductions well and following TR"

I think today was the second drop below 50 on this dose (2.75).

Hopefully Wendy is around and can confirm/correct me.

You are correct. He needs to drop below 50 on three different days to get the reduction
