Fed him his usual LC wet food, some honey and a little bit of a treat.
He ate all of it but regurgitated it 5 minutes later. He's thrown up after almost 3 months (barring a lemon grass incident).
I fed him some more honey and some pate.
Will test in another 10 mins.

I was a little late in giving Shen his +2 snack and had almost decided to skip the BG test and just give the food today

63 at +3

Do I feed him more now or keep checking his BG every 20-30 mins?
He's due for another snack at +4.

I didn't take a second reading to check the 45 at +2.5 since I panicked to get the food, so I'm not sure if it was wrong.

Congrats on the reduction. You go down to 1U from tomorrow. Can you feed a little of his normal food without honey now and test at +4?

ETA: That vomit might have been a scarf and barf from eating too quickly. Looks like you might have to break up his PS meal and feed a little of it at +1. He likes to dive an onset.

So, he gets 1.25 U for his PM shot today too, right? And 1U from AM tomorrow.

Fed him a tablespoon of his usual food just now. Will test and update at +4.

I did reduce his PS meal quantity - it's now almost equal to the snacks he gets every 2 hours, unless it seems like he has a better appetite and wants more.
But I'll start adding in a +1 snack too.

I would have never guessed he had dropped low - he's more active today morning

He is doing so well!

 

[Nimi S]

66 at +4.
Shall I feed him his +4 snack too?

Yes I would. He might get up on his surf board and surf in the greens for you.

Sorry sorry! I am so hard-wired to US timezones even though I'm in India! Most members are from North America. You would reduce tonight itself.

Congrats on the reduction. He’s looking really good.

PMPS was 220
+1 is 241

Shen's appetite seems to have increased overnight. He got his paws on a few stray kibbles at +11 today, although I'm not sure if he did eat some of them.
Thankfully the 6 month-old kitten in the house makes sure to lick everyone else's bowls clean, so there isn't a lot of kibble left over at any point of time.

But will need to pay more attention to Shen's kitchen visits now - the last couple of weeks he had been very disinterested in all kinds of food (with the exception of tandoori chicken), so he caught me off-guard today.

On a positive note, his stools today were the best yet since weaning him onto wet food (almost 28 days) - funny how happy the sight of well-formed poop can make some one

This is great! What a relief!
