Max didn't start meowing early this morning. I put out a little more food late and don't know when he ate it.
He seems a little more lively this morning.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287

Yay for "lively!"

I was so distracted earlier this week that I didn't have a chance to thank you for your feedback about Trix's pancreatitis. It is so helpful to know others who have first-hand experience. So thank you, Elise! Have a great day!!
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91

Your welcome, Amy. I hope Trixie is doing better. I wouldn't take away supportive meds too quickly. Whenever I have done so, I've had to add them back.

Max is already green at 3.5 so I'm hoping he doesn't require a reduction before the day or night is over. I just fed him a little.

These words have stuck with me, and we're continuing with supportive meds until at least Wednesday, when our vet is back from vacation. Trix is doing much better today...thank you again!!!
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91

Well, I blew it. I should have checked back in an hour. He is at 36. I just gave him a little gravy lovers with karo in it. I will check in 20 minutes. Shoot. I know he will fail the necessary reduction.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36

Looks like you're going to need to whip out those calipers pretty soon! :lol:
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41

Up a bit more there, Max!!!

Maybe he'll hold the reducie this time...fingers and paws crossed!!!
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41

I've been trying to use the calipers. I didn't plan on backtracking this fast and I was I had written down the mm I last used. I gave him a little gravy lovers with karo but he only went up 5 points after 20 minutes so I gave him a little more of both. So much for going out with my friend this afternoon. At least he was kind enough to do it today instead of tomorrow. I have a hair appointment at +6 which I thought would be safe when I made the appointment 5 weeks ago.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+5.75=40

Well, this time I gave him just the gravy lovers. I'll test in 20 and give karo if he drops.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+5.7 =40+6=32+6.5=49

Fed gravy lovers at 6.5. Thankfully he is eating. At what point to you skip karo? I skipped it this test.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+5.7 =40+6=32+6.5=49

OMG, Elise. I thought Cinco was being difficult to bring up today, but Max has him beat! Max, you and Cinco both need to stop playing around in the lagoon and head for the shore right now!! :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+6.7 =40+6=32+6.5=49,

We hit 57 so I think we too are on the way back up. I dread the bounce that will follow but that 32 definitely got the adrenalin going. Looks like you are free to go about the rest of the day, Tricia. Enjoy.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+6.7 =40+6=32+6.5=49,

Oh my! :shock: :mrgreen: Quite the day for you and Max today Elise. Good job handling all those low numbers. Looks like he really is tired of this dose. Paws crossed Max does better this time with the reduction.

I usually save karo for the 30's when I want Neko up quickly. Of course it's ECID and depends how carb sensitive your cat is.

On the bright side, at least he did this during the day time.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49+7=57/67

Yes, I was happy he decided to do this during the day. Then I did the right thing with the karo. I gave it with the 36 and 32 BG. I didn't feed him this time either. I will check him now at +8.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36+5.3=41+6.7 =40+6=32+6.5=49,

Wow, Max is keeping you busy! Congrats on the reducie, I hope it is his new good number:) And I also hope he is going to come up a teensy bit more and surf for you. Have a great night, Elise:)
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36/40+6=40/32/49/57+7=67

I also usually only add the tiny bit of Karo if Rocky's BG is in the 30s. The minute he is back in the 40s I lay off of the Karo. However, if after repeated attempts to raise him out of the 40s with just MC, I have always used MC for Rocky, I then add one smidgen of Karo.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36/40+6=40/ 32/49/57+7=67/59

I'm glad he got the karo when under 40. He just tested down a little after not feeding the last few tests. I'll give him a little lc.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/

It's been an hour without food and he is surfing. I would have expected him to be going up by now.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AMPS 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/

heart-stopping 30's, and yet fabulous green surf the rest of the day. every hour he spends in green numbers is a plus! i'd give him 2 teaspoons (literally) of his regular low carb food to help keep him surfing.

yes, you really do need to take that reduction tonight. but perhaps this time the reduction will hold! at some point they will.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

Hi Julie. We are 15 minutes away from +10 and he is at 61. I fed him a little again. I guess I test again in an hour. Thinking ahead he needs to go up for me to shoot, right. Hopefully he will go up the next two tests but what if he is still surfing?
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

it's up to you. that is late in the cycle, but he's fairly low. what i've always been told is that the 2 teaspoons of LC will help them stay in greens longer.

are ya geared up for shooting low tonight? thinking about that yet?
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

We posted at the same time. As you can see I am already thinking about it and wondering how low.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

Looking at your SS, it looks like you've shot a 74 before. I expect Max will come up a little in the next couple hours.
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

just remember the Lantus Land saying "Shoot Low to Stay Low." The opportunity to shoot low is like a little gift - it can lower the whole range of blood sugar numbers.

We only advise NOT shooting under 50, or if you can't monitor, or don't have supplies. So i think you probably are good to go on time, with the full 2.0u tonight. This might be a turning point for Max, if we have any luck at all! fingers crossed!
 
Re: 5/2 Max AM 287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56

Hi Elise. What a day for you and your Max! Me and my Max just wanted to stop by and wave hello... and now we're chanting surf Max, surf!
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+3.5=91+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+1

Thanks for stopping by, Holly. I hope he is higher as it's almost time to shoot. How's your Max? They need to make the subject section bigger for days like this. I'm grateful it happened during the day for a change.
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

So my calipers say 2.26. Do I take him down to 2.01?
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

are you measuring in millimeters on the calipers? and did 2.26 mm match 2.25u on the insulin syringe markings?
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

Yes to both. I gave the 2.01 which appeared to be 2 units on the syringe that I used. He didn't want to eat so I put a little fd chicken on it and he is eating now.Scratch that. He ate all I put out which was about 1/4 a can. I guess I need to do a +1 and a +2 or if he is rising just a +1?
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

cool. what syringes are you using? relions?

so 2.01 is your new dose, regardless of what the syringe markings say on your future syringes.

i'd get both the +1 and +2. good to see he's continuing to surf!

he looks great, elise!

if you have the neosporin with pain relief, now would be a good time to put some on. poor little guy's ears are taking a beating today.
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

I'll definitely use the Neosporin. Thank you for reminding me, Julie. Hopefully he won't need as many tests tonight and I bet he bounces tomorrow so his poor ear will have time to recover. I hate to admit it but I have only used one ear. If I try the other do you think I will have trouble getting it to bleed? I don't want to stick him more times than necessary.
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

we learned on punkin's left ear and managed to scar it in the process. after about the first month of testing, we only used the right ear and it lasted the rest of his life. i put on neosporin with pain relief faithfully every single night, and sometimes in between as well, if there were a lot of pokies. it always healed it by morning, then i wiped off the excess before i poked again.

i tried it on the top of my foot where the kitties had run across it and left scratches - that stuff really is great for taking the owie out.
 
Re: 5/2 MaxAM287+5=36/41/40+6=32/49/57+7=67+8=59/56+11=71PMP

Thank you so much for the tip, Julie. Max especially thanks you.
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 Help!

So when he dropped to 66 at +2 I freaked. I gave him a little gravy lover's mixed in with his lc. I couldn't get on the board to ask what to do. I was afraid he will drop too much. Now what?
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 HELP PLEASE

OKAY. Thanks. In case I can't get on the board then, do I feed the same at +3?
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 HELP PLEASE

you're just going to do this like you've done before with low numbers. it was fine to give him the gravy. that'll slow down his drop. you just want to give enough to keep him above 50.

i agree with wendy on testing in a half hour.

the board wigged out there for a half hour or so. if it does it again, just know that you're just going to keep up the process. you're doing great - you know how to steer max's numbers!
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 HELP PLEASE NOW 50

ack max! be easier tonight!

i'd give 2 teaspoons of gravy, or a healthy drop of karo then retest in 20ish.
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 +2.75 NOW 50+3=53

He only came up to 53 and we are only at +3. I gave him a little more gravy lovers with a few drops of karo. Shall I test in 20 again? Poor ear.I thought he would not need many tests tonight. Didn't I say I wouldn't make predictions??? I am not good at it.
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 +2.75 NOW 50+3=53

Up please Max!!! Sometimes, and I hope tonight is one of those times, when cat's start lower they nadir earlier. Good job so far Elise. :YMHUG:
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 +2.75 50+3=53+3.25=56

I just gave him a tiny bit more of gravy and a big drop of karo. He didn't eat it. He's too full I think. I did dip a tiny piece of fd in a little karo. He ate that.
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 +2.75 50+3=53+3.25=56

just keep in mind if you have to, you can put karo on max's gums.

but for now, 56 is ok. lather rinse repeat. :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/2MAX PMPS 83+1=87+2=66 +2.75 50+3=53+3.25=56

Okay. It's been 90+ here and now my air conditioning is out with a hot weekend ahead. If he drops under 50 do I take another reduction? I would think not because he is likely still working on the 2.25 depo.
