7/15 Monty / AMPS 128 / +1 155 / +2 126 / +3 146 / +5 124 / PMPS 130

[Tom & Monty]

128 is the lowest he's been pre-shoot on this dose, going to shoot and monitor.

 

[Judy and Freckles]

Looking good Monty!

You shot 137 on this dose which is within meter variance range and things went fine, but it's still important to have hypo kit supplies as these sugar kitties of ours like to keep the CG on their toes!

I would get a +1 and a+2 to see what Monty has in mind

On it!

Why a +1, wouldn't that just be higher because food as Lantus takes 2 hours to act? Have you been surprised by a +1 before?

On it Bron, I'll keep this thread updated.

When you shoot a low number for the first time we always suggest a +1 and a +2 so that we don’t get a nasty surprise at +3
Sometimes cats can drop further at +1 and if that happens we can intervene early to stop a big drop.

 

[Tom & Monty]

Good appetite this morning, ate his entire meal in minutes. I'll confirm but I suspect that'll raise his +1, reporting back in 40 minutes.

 

[Tom & Monty]

By the way I bought a gluco navii human meter to save cost and to help follow TR.

It arrives within 2 days. For the first day I'll get readings on both meters then switch to human.

You need to clarify what meter you are using in the SS and when you tell us a BG please. Using both together causes confusion

He insisted on posing with his 155@+1

Cute! see you +2

 

[Tom & Monty]

126@+2

Giving him his second meal now as usual. This he sometimes doesn't finish and returns to it throughout the day.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I would give a snack now

 

[Tom & Monty]

He eats a tray of food at 7.30am (~62 calories) and a second tray at 9.30am that he usually only eats half of and returns to throughout the day.

I haven't changed his feeding times / snack times yet because it's meal time anyway.

 

[Tom & Monty]

Do you think it's safe to wait for a +4 now or should I do a +3?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I would get a +3 as he has dropped a bit and the Lantus is kicking in about now.

 

[Tom & Monty]

146@+3 feeling pretty confident he'll be OK today.

Sorry I didn’t get an alert you had posted.
I’d get a +5 just to see he’s still ok. Then he should be fine.

 

[Tom & Monty]

124@+5

Going to leave the testing until PMPS now. He's starting to hiss at me with the constant poking and I'm confident he's ok 1 hour from nadir with that number.

Well done getting all those tests in. Do you give a snack around nadir?

 

[Tom & Monty]

Not usually, I feed 4 equally sized meals at 7.30 and 9.30 morning and night.

Sometimes he finishes the 9.30 immediately, sometimes he grazes. He also gets a piece of chicken with each test.

 

[Tom & Monty]

So should I be testing like this each time I inject at a new low? And the next time I inject at this same AMPS I can probably just check in at +3?

Yes when you shoot a new low it is always a good idea to get early tests in. Once you know how he’ll react you can test less often.

 

[Tom & Monty]

PMPS 130, given he was never close to risk earlier at a similar BG I'm going to check in before bed at +3.

 

[Tom & Monty]

151@PM+3, I'm not concerned and going to sleep. Thanks for all the guidance today on his lowest shoots for both AM and PM.
