Yesterday http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...245-3-358-7-364-10-382-pmps-374-4-388.229942/

Hey everyone. Moe was Pink all day yesterday except for his AMPS fake-out yellow. Starting today at 335 and increased his dose to 8.0 this morning.

I’m also going to try a Seresto flea collar on him today. We’ve been doing a spot on treatment, but fleas are crazy Th is year and he seems to be a favorite target. I hope it doesn’t irritate him; his skin is so sensitive.

A Facebook memory came up today...7 years ago Moe had surgery to remove a urate stone from his bladder that caused him to block repeatedly. He was four years old at the time. On that day, I changed my profile pic to his baby picture, attached. My sweet boy.

I don't see a picture. Good luck with the new dose. I hope the flea collar doesn't bother him. I've heard bad things about them making cats sick.

We cross posted. I see the picture now. How adorable.

So sweet

I changed the title first...took a minute to remember how to link the photo.

So close to blue Moe (you cutie!), you can do it!

So close to blue Moe (you cutie!), you can do it!

He’s such a tease. 200 at +9. He was begging for a snack at +8 so he got about an ounce of Friskies. Maybe he’ll give me a blue at PMPS.

 

[Patty & Teal'c]

Paws crossed for that blue. Come on Moe show us a blue.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Whoa, a huge drop for Moe between +9 and PMPS. He’s at 126 right now, a few minutes before feeding and shot time. I increased to 8u this morning. Is it safe to shoot that much? I’m stalling for about 15 minutes and will test again.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Yes it's safe, if you can monitor and high carb food and plenty of test strips. If you want, stall, do NOT feed, for 10-15 minutes and retest.

I have all that, would prefer not to have to use it. I’m stalling and not feeding for about 15 minutes, will test again.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Now 121

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Now 106 at 30 minutes after PMPS. I haven’t fed yet and no shot.
@Wendy&Neko any suggestions? His numbers have been all over the place the last few weeks, no clear pattern.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Now 102 at +45 minutes

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Feeding one ounce of Friskies LC wet at 5:55pm (PMPS+55 minutes)

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Now 103 after eating a couple ounces of LC. It’s one hour and 20 minutes past his shot time, no shot yet. Still not sure what dose to give. 8 units seems like too much.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Now 149 at +2 after PMPSand not shot given yet.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Sorry I stepped away for a bit. You could still shoot if you can shoot 12 hours later tomorrow morning, then work your way back 1/2 hour per day or 15 minutes per shot. He is still safe to shoot.

Do you think I should shoot 8 units, or reduce the dose a bit?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I would do the full 8 units. Shooting late already acts like a reduction. Besides which, he hasn't earned a reduction yet.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

Shot 8 units at 7:30 pm (two hours past usual shot time). BG was 167 immediately before shot. I guess I’ll be up watching and testing tonight.
Love the blues, but jeez kitty, no need to scare the daylights out of me.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Start with a +2 - he could still bounce and let you sleep. In the mean time, celebrate those blues!

Looks like you might have a cat that likes to nadir around shot time. Neko did that all the time - taught me to shoot lower numbers.

 

[Erin and Moe (GA)]

239 at +2. I’ll get one more test before bed. Looks like he’s going to be okay overnight.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I'm glad you shot the full dose. You probably would have been fine shooting at that 103 as it looks like his nadir. When cats are breaking a bounce, the nadir is often later.
