Yay! Happy to read a good report today and see those greens. She must be feeling pretty good if she is playing!

Thanks, Lyla! The greens were a little short lived but still very glad they stuck around for those few hours in the morning. Happy to see you. :) Hope Butters is doing well after her dental.

This is only our third time doing it so it’s hard to note trends, but she does usually make a beeline for her food bowl when she comes home and has better energy. We’ll see what happens tonight. :)

Hi Katherine, just stopped by to say hello. Hope you are having a good day. Hope the Acupuncture helped Ruby feel better. Happy to hear she is eating and pooping, two very important cat actions:D:D Hugs from me and Dolly. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
So a thought, though I don't know what you can even do with it - the other day you said you give pred at AMPS because you think onset/nadir would counteract it when it's the strongest

I'm wondering if it's actually that the pred is delaying the insulin's ability to work. As in it's getting to cells first and blocking it out, and then as the pred wanes you get onset/later nadir/overlapping cycles.

Glad to see some green!

That's essentially what I think is happening. Having observed Ruby's patterns for a good deal of time surfing on mostly greens, I now see the effect of the pred as a kind of layer on top of the action of Lantus, if you will, and it's definitely pushing nadirs further out than her usual times. Then I give a shot at PMPS which, if the pred is still strong 12+ hours, gives it another tamp down. Eventually, if the timing is right, we get a green at shot time which gives us a bit of a head start and usually helps her stay in blues and greens the whole day. I'm really curious where she goes at night when I'm sleeping as it could help me see the patterns a bit better.

The Libre will be nice for that...if she'll cooperate.

I feel the frustration/annoyance with anything that causes insulin resistance. I think I've finally hit a good dose with Mr Kitty, but it'll change, aiming for a moving target that I can't see.
