6/8 Bella AMPS 102, +3 99, +4 73, PMPS 60, +3 77

yesterday
She's doing very well this morning.
I have a question: with green numbers but still blue ones too, should I keep this dose for now, or does that count as 'normal range most of the day", still?

It actually looks like she needs more juice. Let's see what she does today. She saw the low 60s on 6/4 but her numbers have been higher since with nadirs close to 90 and above.

Thank you for your answer, Bhooma. She is higher in the morning and did not go down into 60s except for the nights! I would like her to switch between night and day now
We are leaving at the end of July for 3 weeks and she will have a sitter twice a day. She said she can test her too but it will be only the pre-shot tests. So I was hoping she would keep going lower. There is still time for that to happen, I know.

So, the recommandation in the TR sticky with numbers between 150 and 200 is not accurate anymore once they start being lower?

Didn't get what you are referring to here? Which part of TR?

I was wondering.

We have had people whose sitters cannot test at all. Only give the shot. In such cases, we suggest a vacation dose that is lower and will keep the cat safe.

sorry, I must have dreamt it, I edited my post but you were too fast answering. I guess I'm not fully awake yet.
As for the sitter, I'm lucky that our usual sitter has diabetic cats herself and lives very close. The first few days it will be another one, and she does not test. I'm not sure of our dates yet so we might need her only a day or 2 before the other one can test her. I think I will do a lower dose anyway, I'm scared. Trying not to panic too early.

You have lots of time before your vacation and a lot can happen. There’s definitely too much blue to think about a decrease and she might need an increase soon.

No need to apologize. I realize now that you may be referring to the rule for earning reductions with TR - a week in normal numbers?

Yes, that's what I was talking about. Still, I'm sorry to be so confused. Between allergies and short nights, I'm not thinking straight!

That's okay!
