Yesterday: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/5-18-a2-gizmo-amps-335-pmps-54-ns-75-59-1-73-7-371.195782

Well with the NS yesterday I knew this morning would be high. Reduced him to 1.5, and figured today would just be a high day. PMPS was a nice surprise. Just tested him quick before his PM meal and WHAT :nailbiting:

And of course this is just as the emergency plumber shows up since for some reason all the drains in our house are backing up for no reason. So I stay calm, give him his evening meal and 3 of his old temptations treats (high carb but he goes stupid for them) took him about 15 minutes to lick his bowl clean and had him come up on the couch with me so I could see if anything was off.

No symptoms of hypo, he fought me like hell an hour and a half ago when I clipped his claws. At +6.5 he is up to 48. Going to test him again in about 5 mins which will be +6.75. He hid under the couch but I think that has to do with a stranger in the house and all the power tools being used on the pipes (looks like something got installed wrong with the pipework and it just took 2 months of living here before it reared the ugly consequences)

Not gonna lie, I'm scared. But the fact he has no symptoms and ate well gives me some ease.
 
+6.75 47

Well phooey. Do I try giving him higher carb wet food at this point or give it more time?
 
Ok back up in normal green at +7 54

He just went and started polishing off what food his civvie sister left behind. Gonna test again in half an hour. Assuming his numbers are still heading up, then I'm heading to bed.
 
58 at +7.5

Gave him a little snack of higher carb food (20%) since it was taking a bit. At first he wouldnt touch it which scared me but it's his old prescription food which he was lackluster about. Mixed in a little bit of BFF and a dab of water to make it more gravy like and he licked the bowl clean.

I'm exhausted, but still gonna try and stay up another half hour to test then
 
68 at +8

I'm exhausted and going to try and get some sleep. He seems to be heading up and hasn't had any symptoms so I think its safe
 
Congrats on the reduction. Sorry no one was on earlier to be with you. :bighug: Cats off of insulin can be in the 40's, so he might not show signs there. We just don't want cats on insulin to be that low to give a little margin of safety.

I hope you left a little food out for him. Usually you'd like him to be on the rise, after a couple of hours without high carb food.

When you run out of room on the title, just remove the earlier numbers from the AM cycle and keep the latest/most relevant ones.
