Good morning!
Yesterday's
Recap
6/28 AMPS=167; +1=146; +2=117'; +7.5=106
6/28 PMPS=121; +2=83; +3=72; +4=85; +8=104
6/29 AMPS=121; +2=79; +3=70; +6=76
6/29 PMPS=112; +2=113
Lucy woke me up meowing for breakfast, and ate her 1st portion really well, half by self & half by hand-feeding.
Today is a sub-Q fluid day, so I tried to shoot her as close to the hind-end as possible, which she doesn't like much, and she moved as soon as I pushed the plunge.
I think I pushed it all the way before she moved, so really hope all insulin got in.
Her numbers have been so nice since yesterday's PM cycle, and I don't want to mess it up!!
I've been using One Touch UltraSoft Lancets, but since yesterday night, I'm trying a different brand - Abbott Thin Lancets 28G.
It has twice as much lancets in a box at about the same price.
Lancets are cheap enough I don't worry too much about the cost, but I was trying to find something that is more comfortable for her and yet draws enough blood.
Right now, 33G lancets do not do the job yet - not nearly enough blood, maybe in future when her ears lean to bleed more easily, I'll try 33G again.
So far, I don't know if I like the new Abbott ones.....
Happy Saturday, everyone!!!
