Yesterday's BGs: AMPS 224 / +1.5 227 / +3 127 / +5 116 / PMPS 147 / +2 124 / +4 106

No greens yesterday - unless I didn't catch a quick one late last night. Should I increase? Today is 10 cycles since my furshot. We had such a good day on 6/21. Wish it stuck.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes. I think you can increase. Good luck with the new dose.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

Yes. I think you can increase. Good luck with the new dose.

Thanks - I'll start tomorrow so we don't get into any trouble overnight.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I always did that too.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Good luck with the increase.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

Ok, yikes, we got a 48

I was going to wait until +4.5 to test, but she got up from a nap and came over to me so we poked. I fed her a spoonful of Earthborn chicken cacciatore which the chart says is 20% and I will test again in 20-30 mins.

If she's lower do I give her karo??

Try some 15-20% food and check in 30 minutes. Guess she told us what to do with an increase.

That was a big NO THANKS to the increase! I'm going to poke again in about 5 mins.

 

[tiffmaxee]

She’s fine. I got some of those at amps and it sure woke me up.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

Up to 58 and another little chicken cacciatore snack.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Good. Surf Jill. Check in 30.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

Good. Surf Jill. Check in 30.

52 now. Check again in 30 or 60? Think she's just going to surf some 50s for awhile?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

52 now. Check again in 30 or 60? Think she's just going to surf some 50s for awhile?

as long as she is in the 50s, every 30 mins! they often dip after the HC wears off.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

And keep snacking if she's in the 50s?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

And keep snacking if she's in the 50s?

Yup. This late in the cycle, you can try MC or even LC and see if they stay over 50.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Once she goes over 60 you can try not feeding and check in 30 minute increments. Two hours without food before it’s time to stop testing unless you see a big jump up. Keep posting results and one of us will tell you when.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

61 now and I gave her a spoonful of beef pate which is 10%. (saw this after she ate, but 61 is so close to 60!!)

 

[tiffmaxee]

It’s fine. So test in 30 and if around 60 don’t feed and check in 30. You are doing great. Able to breathe now?

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

84 now. No snack!
I'm not panicking but your help is so appreciated! It's such an art, trying to find the right balance of meds and food and timing.

My first diabetic cat would sometimes drop into the 30s - he was mysteriously hard to control - luckily we never had any serious emergencies. My vet thought I was insane when I casually mentioned it to him once. He was like, if that ever happens again you need to bring him right over here!!

 

[tiffmaxee]

I forgot you have danced this dance before.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

I forgot you have danced this dance before.

My cat Cole went into remission really quickly after being diagnosed, but in his later years the diabetes came back, and we worked with a vet at the University of Pennsylvania. Looking back, we would have more success if we had followed TR or SLGS with this group of folks. He lived until he was almost 20 though, so we did something right! Love of my life, that cat <3

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

97 at +6.5.
Still test every 30?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

97 at +6.5.

Hourly should be fine now. Don't feed and see if she stays up without food. I think she should be okay now.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

111. I think she's good!

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Wow, you've had a day of it too! There were so many kitties diving today, you'd think they were all in on it together!

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

Wow, you've had a day of it too! There were so many kitties diving today, you'd think they were all in on it together!

Hmmmm is it the moon?!

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

OMG, you're not kidding! I just looked at the forum and we've got some busy cat moms and moderators today!!

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Hmmmm is it the moon?!

Full moon tomorrow!

 

[tiffmaxee]

Looks like you will get to sleep tonight. Good job managing today.

I hope you get some sleep too!
+2 is 144
Ran out of room in my thread title!

 

[tiffmaxee]

Delete some of the numbers from the a.m. cycle. Then you will have room. She just might decide to surf tonight.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

+3 she is at 83. Just had a low/med carb snack (10%). I think she’s losing interest in so many snacks after today!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Just when I thought she'd bounce at night and you'd get some sleep!

Btw, you can knock off all the AM numbers from your tthread title and start with the PMPS.

 

[tiffmaxee]

+3 she is at 83. Just had a low/med carb snack (10%). I think she’s losing interest in so many snacks after today!

Just feed a teaspoon. Had a feeling when I saw the +2 she would surf and not bounce.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

+4.5. At 80
I think we will skip a snack and check again in a hour. I’m lucky my husband is a night owl because I am struggling.

I keep forgetting that beef pate I have her me is 12% not 10. Anyway…

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I think we will skip a snack and check again in a hour. I’m lucky my husband is a night owl because I am struggling.

Or feed some LC, take a nap and test in 2 hours.

 

[Debra and Jill (the cat)]

+5.5 is 94 and we are going to sleep!!
