Nice drop there. See you are already doing so good at testing Jez :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/10, Jezebel, AMPS 248, +2 179

Hi there,

Welcome to lantus land!
Jezebel is responding very well to the insulin so far... very nice!

Perhaps you've been told this already, but I'll mention it again just in case... pls make sure to pick up a few cans of high carb food to have on hand at home. The Janet and Binky's list has all kinds of choices to pick from; I typically got the fancy feast of the grilled variety. I'm just saying it because it's always good to be prepared and it's easier to get stuff when you don't need them in the next minute.... know what I mean.

Again, welcome!
 
What's a condo???

I'll be testing Jezebel in a few minutes...feeding her and then updating her profile after her pm injection.
But...What is a condo?

Re: What's a condo???

A condo is also known as a thread here in the Lantus forum.

You already began one for Jezebel, so keep all your info for today in the same thread/condo, just hit reply to your last post in your original thread for today........remember, one thread/condo per kitty per day, as there are so many here and it's easier to check each one thru the day. :-D

Jezebel update
AMPS 248
gave 1 u Lantus
+2 179
+6 167
PMPS 236
gave 1 u Lantus

Feeding 1/4 can 2x day Weruva "Asian Fusion" grain free. When she dropped to 99 yesterday at +4, gave her a few Kitty greenies. I leave Wellness Core Grain free dry out (I have two kitties). Wrote to the company and it is 12% carbs. Don't think Jez eats much of it...never a big one for dry food.

She's a trooper for sure! She is such a good girl...let's me do anything to her... Now if it was Sassy...that would be a different story altogether!

Re: What's a condo???

Hi Debie,
The term 'condo' is just what we call what is actually your new topic.

When you first posted here, you clicked on the New Topic button at the top left of the screen. Once you start that topic and add your entry, and then click on the Submit button at the bottom, you have officially started your 'condo'.

What most people do is to keep everything for the whole day inside that same 'condo' and it becomes like a daily journal. Everything you have to post about Jezebel, all the numbers you get, all the questions you have, all the answers and comments that others have, will all get put into this one 'condo' which you can name something like 5/10 Jezebel amps ###

Then tomorrow, you will start a brand new 'condo' and you can name it something like 5/11 Jezebel amps ###

If you have any worries or problems and need to ask someone a question, it's better to have everything all in one 'condo', or all the separate 'new topics' can get lost and you won't get your answer! It also eliminates duplicate and conflicting replies!

Just think how much simpler it will be for YOU to have to watch just one topic; you can just refresh and see the new replies in that one 'condo'.
 
Re: What's a condo???

I know what a condo is.. but I always wondered where "condo" came from, or was short for? I dunno.
 
If both your kitties eat wet food, you may want to try to remove all of the dry food just to see how it affects Jezebel's BG numbers.

I have 3 kitties and 2 are FD, but my one civvie eats ONLY dry food. My problem is that if Shadoe eats even just a mouthful of dry food, her numbers go through the roof!
When I go out or to work or to sleep, I literally cover the bowl of dry food for Booboo with a big mixing bowl.

It does make a difference for my kitty, even if she grabbed only 3 pieces, so it may make a difference for your Jezebel. It's worth a try because some kitties can be diet controlled and not need any insulin!

It's great to hear that Jezebel's the easier of your two kitties to handle - I can totally relate because my civvie, Booboo, is a tiny terror!

Best of luck with Jezebel's numbers tonite.
 
Welcome to lantus land--We are in your condo right now!! :-D
This cat looks like she is doing very very well already! Looks a lot like my Moonie you see here==Love those Tuxedos!!
Jezebel is doing great & you are doing a great job so far!! :mrgreen:
 
And just to complicate things further, the Greenies are loaded in carbs - rice, wheat, and corn are three of the first four ingredients. Most of us use freeze dries chicken or salmon or some kind of jerky type treat. Others will steam chicken and use that as a treat. Eliminating the dry food and high carb treats will have an effect on Jezebel's numbers.
 
Jezebel is responding nicely already. I agree that if you can wean out the dry food, her insulin needs might decrease even more. Keep up the good work!
 
I agree...I was just alarmed when she dropped to 99.....which I've since learned is perfectly fine.
Tonight +4 her reading was 204. I have to stay at my sister's tonight (with my 'dogs') - she was broken in to tonight...so
Jez is on her own tonight. I'll be h=there by 7 tomorrow to check her, feed her...and give her her shot.
