So far Wonton's nos. are nothing to be nervous about. I'm keeping her on a steady dose of 1u/2x daily. I'll be home most of today and will be getting as many readings as Wonton will tolerate.

Have a great day! :-D
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton AMPS 218 +1 201

Looking good for Wonton this morning...a nice AMPS and heading in the right direction!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton AMPS=218 +1=201 +3=88 +4=115 +5=98

Yay - what a gorgeous cycle for Wonton!!!! You need to put the "Mr Greenie icon on your subject line, 'cause she's earned it :mrgreen: !!

Greast work, guys!!!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +3=88 +4=115 +5=98 +7=191

Yeay, Mr Greenie is in da house! :mrgreen: Thanks guys! Her lowest number was at +3, would the ideal be at +6? She's now rising at +7 and have 5 more hours before her next shot. But I'm not complaining believe me, I think it's great! Will continue to test.
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Nice numbers today, Wonton cat_pet_icon
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

Wonton's numbers started out very good but between 1:30 and 3:30 she went up from 191 to 288, and by 6:15pm up to 350.
I will continue with 1u/2x daily and will see if she levels off and doesn't go so high later in the afternoon.
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

It looks like she's bouncing from the lower than she's used to numbers that she had today. I hope it's a quick bounce.
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

Looks like you've got a classic "bounce" going this evening. Her body isn't used to being in those normal numbers anymore, so it thinks it's going hypo...her liver tossed a bunch of counter-regulatory hormones into her system in an effort to protect her from danger, thus raising her BG. In time, her liver should get used to the lower numbers , and the bounces will get smaller and less frequent.

In the meantime, it can take up to 72 hours for a bounce to clear, but from what we've seen of Wonton so far, I'm guessing she'll clear this much faster than that...maybe even tonight.

This is why we dose lantust based on the nadir, rather than the pre-shot numbers. Wonton had a lovely nadir today from that 1U. Great data collecting today...this evening should prove to be interesting, too!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

Thank you Dyana and Amy. With bouncing, do ketones need to be checked? I have never checked but I do have the strips.
I'll continue getting Wonton's numbers and see what this evening looks like.
I hope you and your kitties are doing well!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

Testing for ketones is never a bad idea, but as long as Wonton is eating well and doesn't seem sick in any way, she's probably good to go. I hope she's working on that bounce by now!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

I guess I should've done a few more tests after her PM shot, but she went from 350 at 6:15pm to 52 at 10:30pm. You're right about the bounce!!! I just gave her some HC food and hope this was the right thing. She's never been this low, that I know of. So I'm thinking I need to be doing tests every hour to be sure her numbers are going up. Wow, I had no idea she was so low. So let me know if I'm not doing the right thing, please.....
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

Great job to catch that 52. Feeding was the right thing. Can you test again at 11 pm?

Re: 5/27 Wonton +5=98 +7=191 +9=288 +12=350

I probably would have given LC or at most MC. This seems to be at around the time of Wonton's nadir so you don't know how much lower she will go. Please get another test in 30 min.

Please remember to update your subject line and to indicate if it's the AM or PM cycle. With the info in your subject line I had no idea that Wonton was in the 50s.

Here's the info on handling low numbers.
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +12=350 PM +4=52 +4.5=79

After eating HC food she is up to 79. I understand why you say you would've used LC or MC, because we don't know if it's the insulin curve starting to rise or the food causing the rise, correct?
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +12=350 PM +4=52 +4.5=79

That's exactly right. You'll want to keep re-testing in 30 min. intervals. If Wonton is surfing, I'd use LC or MC food to keep the surf going. Just use HC as you need to if numbers start to really drop. Surfing in the 50s or 60s is fine. You just need to use your judgement with regard to how much carbs you give Wonton.

Thanks for updating your subject line!! You can probably take the 911 off.
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +12=350 PM +4=52 +4.5=79

Yes, I will test every 30 mins. Guess I'll be up for awhile. Once it seems she's going up and staying up, would it be safe to go to sleep?
I guess I panicked with the HC and just wanted her number to go up.
Thanks Sienne...
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +12=350 PM +4=52 +4.5=79

  • Test in 30 - 40 min. and repeat the test and feed process until there are 2 consecutive tests where numbers are stable or rising.
  • Test in an hour and follow the same steps.

Once you see that Wonton is either surfing or numbers are heading up on their own, it's bedtime. As long as you feel OK that numbers are not going to drop, you can test less frequently. I generally start backing off the carbs as soon as I can so I have greater confidence in whether the numbers are safe for me to go to sleep.
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton +12=350 PM +4=52 +4.5=79

Dont worry with the HC, Wanton is doing great at the 79!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton PM +4=52 +4.5=79 +5=70

OK, thank you Sienne and Tortie...I think I'm in for a long night...gonna check out a movie on Netflix...
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton PM +4=52 +4.5=79 +5=70

Set an alarm & take a cat nap, so you dont have to worry if fell asleep. You'll need a rest, never know what Wanton's up to!
 
Re: 5/27 Wonton PM +4=52 +4.5=79 +5=70

I like the alarm idea...just set it for 30 mins. I have to say, this takes dedication... thanks Tortie :-D
 
She was at 85 at 1:45am and 83 at 2:45am. Gave LC after each reading. Pretty sure it's safe to go to bed now. Will check her at 6:30am.
 
Amy, I really screwed up this morning...when I woke up I took her reading, fed her and forgot to give her shot....I am so angry with myself. Yesterday was now a waste..........
 
Lol!!! That's what happens when you're sleep deprived. I suspect there are a lot of us who have left a filled syringe sitting on the counter.

Can your schedule withstand a late shot?
 
I could change my shot schedule if it was for one day, but since it's a gradual change, I don't think my work would understand. So there's not much I can do but watch her numbers go up...I'm so sorry Wonton :o( I can tell she doesn't feel that great by the look on her little face.
 
Don't be angry at yourself at all. My guess is that you were sleep-deprived. You have done so much right by your Wonton, and we can't expect ourselves to be perfect.

Take care, take a deep breath, and don't panic. Your instincts are excellent, and you came to the right place to get good guidance.

Gentle pats to Wonton,
Susan, and Angels Sasha and Orlando
 
Thank you Susan...can see how I let it get to me, trying to be perfect and afraid her numbers would bottom out and I wouldn't be able to save her. I have since been trying to remember her numbers will go up and down no matter how regulated she is. Yes, deep breaths... and sending gentle pats to Sasha and Orlando cat_pet_icon
