The last several days of Buca's spreadsheet looks absolutely beautiful! Good job Heather and Buca. Hope you feel better soon.

You did exactly what you were suppose to. I believe they usually ask that you test every 30 mins at that point (in this case, gotten a +3.5 & +4.5) until you got two rising number not influenced by food. You might want to ask if a dosecrease is in order since he went below 50. The experts would need to weigh in on that.
**I just noticed you put the .5 readings to the side.

Doin' great, Buca!!!
I'm pretty sure he earned a dosecrease with those 40s - but I'll let more experienced people advise you on dosing. Keep up the great work!! :mrgreen:

The way she wrote it, you're doing (skinny 0.5 minus 0.25) = skinny 0.25.
It may be OK to just aim for 0.25, with the plunger as close as you can get to halfway between those 0.0 and 0.5.
He is doing amazing!!

This is just the shed from the sk.5u so you won't reduce in the morning ok?
Let's try his fav stuff to get him up on the surfboard. See you in 30
Sorry...I know you are tired and sick!
PS. I think he's on a "mission" anti jinx

So keep him at the .25 or return to the skinny .5?
For some reason I didn't do the math right and his +2 was actually a 52 not a 41. I gave him gravy and tested him after 30 mins and he was at 61, gave him a little more gravy and he's back down to 50 at +3.

The sk.25u you shot tonight is what you should shoot tomorrow. And of course, if he was 52, then he didn't get below 50 anyway
More gravy for Buca! Retest in 30. I still think this is all shed talking...he might want to run low for several hours...just what you need!

20 mins after gravy and he's at 66. So shed means that he's got extra stored of what I've been giving him and he's using that now too on top of what was shot?

Yes. Lantus works cumulatively so one shot builds on the previous. Think of it as a bucket you are filling with water. When it gets full, it overflows. It continues to overflow unless you drain it some (which is what happens when you reduce the dose).
While typically, the shed affects 3-4 subsequent cycles, it can affect up to six in some cats which is why we don't want them to earn too many doses too fast.....it makes it difficult to tell if it is the shed.
Add to that if Bucas pancreas is possibly making its own insulin.

Heather...
Can you please update the subject line to show your next number...the +5 is fine.
He's looking super....we never talk about the possible trip to the Falls for some cats...it's bad luck. But he's looking amazing ;-)
See you in a few.

Remission remission is seen as a "honeymoon" at the waterfalls or falls.k
Thanks for updating.
I think you can sleep for a bit and maybe do one more test in an hour or so. Sooooo...I think I'll call it a night unless I can help you with anything?
