Yesterday on Ruby’s World.

We had another run of greens last night and a beach start today ⛱. Perhaps the higher dose of pred is out of Ruby’s system now and not inflaming her urinary tract any longer—no more smelly pee. Relieved to see blues and greens on her SS again. She’s been very happy and purry, and seems to be doing better than ever.

Off to work. Have a great start to the week, everyone!

Glad Ruby is happy and purry. I hope she keeps surfing today.

Morning Katherine, It makes me happy to see those greens last night and a nice start for today. Good girl Ruby, Let's see the same thing today. Have a good day

Good morning Katherine, hope you have a great work day today. Nice to see that beautiful blue this morning and those great greens last night. Maybe the pred reduction is finally kicking in. Take care all of you. Hugs

+7=399. Yikes. Guess this is a bounce.

Did you see @Suzanne & Darcy's post about the sale at adw? 10% off - you can get the novamax with strips there, if you haven't already ordered!

PS sorry about the bounce but at least you can take a pokey break for a while

Yikes is right BIG Bounce for Ruby-doo. Have a good day Katherine

I saved 12% with a coupon code I found on line “SAVE12” this weekend.

I got the discount, thanks! DBF was curious to see where she was and she’s coming down again at +10, thank goodness.

Did you try the12%? I always do a search for coupon codes for whatever I buy other than Amazon and EBay. So happy Ruby is coming down.

PMPS = 218. She's coming down. Can't wait to see if we hit green again tonight.

I got 10% off, not 12%, but that's ok.

Glad she came back down! Little fast though

Seems like the pred hits her hard around midday and then she starts diving. Then I give her insulin and then it comes down more. Wondering if I should start giving her pred in the evenings instead so that we can monitor her better during the day.

I agree, though I'm not sure what to think of the 16th...

Edit: is it not possible to split the pred bid?

Yeah, 7/16 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Hard to know what happened there, but the trend seems to be that she gets a bump a few hours after the pred.

I worry that splitting the pred will lead to high numbers all the time rather than just in one cycle, but that is a good question for her oncologist.

OR, more optimistically, she may stay flatter so you can increase dose to bring her down overall I don't envy you, it's a hard game to play when you start adding everything in.

Appreciate the optimism! Believe it or not I'm actually not freaking out about Ruby's numbers. It's a bit of a rollercoaster but 1.5 units isn't a huge dose and she seems to be doing well on it as long as we see a few greens. I'll feel even better once we get that ketone meter and can keep an eye on that.
