Take a nap
Thank you. Nothing better than FD to make you appreciate and enjoy each hour we have that we can relax
I wish but coffee woke me up good. Maybe I can sneak one up later but sadly I failed the napping class takes me hours to fall asleep lol. Feeling good though. Happy Henry is safe and I can just chill for the next 5 hours or so. Thank you ladies for your guidance today Ahh I have so much to learn still.
Great job taking care of him! It's so hard when you're tired, trying to work a full-time job, and dealing with low numbers. Hope you are able to get some rest and Henry will give you some easy cycles soon!
No, you don't need to stall. He was at a perfectly safe number to shoot. There's a post about this: Protocols: Myths Debunked see post #6 for details on the myth of never shooting a falling number. If I had stalled a cycle going from pink to blue, I never would have shot on time. It was Neko's favourite type of cycle.
You did perfectly, your gut instincts were correct. Look what a beautiful cycle you had as a result. 6/22 AM you also shot a dropping blue AMPS. And 6/25 PMPS. Looks like Henry likes doing that to you.
Remember, the Lantus cycle is a curve down, he's supposed to drop down at that point. For next time, try not to panic and give syrup/gravy until he gets a lot closer to 50.
The vet has been rotating The Libre a lot. The last one was on the Back left side but i think a bit too Close to the spine. He was able to reach it easily. I normally use the onesie but seeing him so upset I took it off and the rest is history lol.
A couple recaps/notes from today. First, congrats on shooting that safe blue.

Since the cycle is no longer active in the right direction, and hopefully you are no longer terrified, do you mind updating the subject line?
. I updated the thread. Despite the coffee somehow I took an unexpected nap, well, more like I passed out watching TV lol. Don't feel really fresh and need another 5 hrs nap, but it was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise. Thank you Nap Gods lol
, you'll get better sleep tonight.
I know right? He typically likes to bounce so will see. I won’t say no to a nice break. I will have to see how the cycle goes. Without the Libre though I tend to be too stressed out to go to sleep earlier than -+5 or later which is after 12 am. Why can’t he just have a nice +4 nadir lolIf he bounces
So Henry otherwise known as "Sir Bounce A Lot" bounced to 371 at pmps and 350 at +2. Sounds like I am getting sleep tonight. When should I do the next reading and the last reading to be safe? If this is a repeat of last night would a +4 be enough? That is 11 at night. I probably won't need a +6 which is 1 am. I don't know. Thoughts?If he bounces
I told the vet to not use vet glue and she said she only used 3 drops and that is to keep in place and she does not seem to want to do it another way. Of course it is irritating him. I have to keep telling them what to do. The last visit they screwed up big time. The people doing the appointment booked me for next month. I called ahead when I did not get the confirmation call. They said I don't have an appt until next month. They managed to get me in on a quick vet tech appt and never saw the doctor and could not provide my instructions. Sometimes vets think they know better but they don't always. My hope was for Henry to get to better and safer numbers and stop using the Libre because it is hard on him. He loves to get in a fight with the sensors, then I have to use onesies, then he gives me those sad looks and is miserable, then I cave in, and then he manages to remove them. Cannot blame him. Did they last for you without any glue? I saw that in facebook that no glue just the skintac and I did provide the vet with that as well.
it says the site cannot be reached.
Yes; the one I applied myself I used skintac, it stayed on and working the full 14 days. Cinna didn't seem bothered by it, he'd occasionally groom it but he wasn't trying to pull it off.
I saw that I thought it looked so darn cute on that cat. I bought it a while back (and 100 other things) but it is too tight even if it stretches and no way i can even get it on Henry. He is a big boy. They do not seem to come in sizes i would have needed an XXL lol.
