Bumped her up to 2.5 this morning. I go in late on Sat. so I will grab a +2 before I go.
Shes been real hungry the past couple days, and I gave her small meals before bedtime. We will be looking for her #s to drop but wondering how much because I have been doing fat2.25s for a while now anyway. I asked her nicely this morning to not drop too low too fast again! I think I heard an OK :smile: Have a good weekend everyone

how nice that she's answering you!

looks like she's headed into a normal lantus cycle. Am I remember right that your mom is home to feed her?

have a good day at work!

Yes Julie, mom feeds all 3 kitties and 1 doggy. I am going to get a couple + pm test tonight, as she was 185 pmps. Makes me wonder how low she went today. Short of quitting my job, I cant test during the am cycle, so its got to be the pm. I really think when I see the pinks, its from bouncing from the previous cycle and not getting the nadir test, I just have to assume. Its very depressing not being able to have the info I need to help her. If I have to lose even more sleep than I do now, then so be it. Im gonna be a bear at work!! grr_red

sounds like its very frustrating, laura. you can only be one person and do what you can do! chi chi is doing all right. I'd just get tests in before bed, and unless she looks like she is going low, i'd go to sleep. you can't possibly work 12 hr days, 6 days a week and stay up til the middle of the night every night.

what i looked at to decide if i had to get/stay up and do more tests was the rate of drop between pmps, +3, and +4.5. punkin was pretty reliable with his nadir usually being at +5.5. looking at Chi chi tonight, for example, when I see a +2 that's 80 points higher than the pmps, I'd think a bounce was starting and I'd go to bed. But checking her at +6 will let you know what she's doing.

one way to keep her safe when you need to sleep is to leave her plenty of food.

I hope you can sleep tonight.

You're doing the best you can, Laura. Try to focus on how Chi Chi feels and if she's playing, eating, and acting normal. Our kitties are more than their BG.

Hope you get some rest.

Thanks for the replies Marge and Julie. Well I got a +2 and fell asleep and woke up at 4am and tested again and she was 320. I missed nadir I guess, but no doubt she is bouncing. I had no problem falling back to sleep! Will see what this am says soon. Shes 13, so she really never plays, sleeps a lot, and eating fine and purring pooping ok.
