Yesterday was beautiful!
I'm doing a newborn photo session for the next few hours but I'll check in if I can! Looking forward to seeing more blues and greens today!
 
Yes! I hope I see more Bg's like yesterday.

His ears are sore I'm going to wait till around +4 or 5 to test.(1:30 - 2:30 central time)

Why isn't he getting used to the lower Bg by now?
Why is he still going to Black & red #'s?
I'm very concerned that he'll develope kidney trouble from the constant high #'s!

All day Ravan was in such a deep sleep I thought he was gone a few times. Very frightening. This is so difficult to deal with when he had such a good day yesterday.

It's also difficult when no one is "answering" my questions.

I appreciate Judy responding but I still have unanswered questions.
Am I supposed to know all this by now?
 
Hi JoyBee, I believe Wendy is on vacation.
No, of course you shouldn't know it all by now. Boomer's been diabetic for 4 years and I don't know everything :rolleyes:
Some kitties like to bounce more than others.
Perhaps there's room for a dose increase but I'm not sure since he has been seeing some greens. Perhaps @Sienne and Gabby (GA) can help?

Cats take as long as they take to get used to lower numbers. Neko took over a year before she got rid of the reds from her spreadsheet. The other thing you've got going in is some very steep drops. Faster drops also cause bounces, and I found those fast drop type bounces were often worse. I would look at trying to manipulate the early part of the curve to try to prevent those steep drops. If you see a higher number at preshot, and you think he might be thinking of breaking a bounce, I would try to regularly get a +2 test. And if it's lower than the preshot, give him some carbs to slow him down. This post is on using food to manipulate the curve.

Thank you both for responding.
It's 2:30 am & I'm shocked at Ravan's BG 59! I've been studying his SS & thought he might drop to a high blue # that's why I waited till 2:30 to test.
Never imagined he'd go all the way down to green!
He was very hungry so I let him eat 1/2 can of food, about 3oz

I'll check bg again at 3:30.

I just read Wendy's reply. I wish I had stayed up last night to get a +2 . Now he'll probably have a huge bounce from that low #.
 
Thank you Wendy for that post,How to use food to manipulate the curve. I'm copying it & will read it later today. Just the little I read made me feel better that other people have had the same problems with high Bg & big bounces.

Ravan has always had several meals thru out the day.The one thing I read that bothers me is it said to not feed after the nadir. That would be about 6 hrs without food. He's never gone that long without food.

3:30 BG 77 I'll be checking again a bit later.

I couldn't live with my cat if I didn't feed him after +6! Since he has small meals every 3 hours he gets a meal at +6 and then a small snack at +9....just a wee bit of fancy feast but I add 3 or 4 chicken pieces to it.
