Good morning everyone!! Cassie must've heard me complaining about her high numbers last week and now she's proving me wrong. I ordered a pack of toy mice that are infused with catnip and "silver vine." Apparently another herb that is even stronger than catnip that cats love. Well all the cats LOVE these toys. Cassie was batting them around during the night, and our civvie Gandalf laid on top of all of them and fell asleep lol.
 
Beautiful cycle today. 14 point variation(so far) throughout the day. Way to work the juice Cassie!!:D:D:D
Have a great evening Abby:)

I've not heard of silver vine. Will have to google it. Glad the kitties are enjoying the new toys.:cat:

I know I'm so proud of her!! It was a great cycle today!

I never heard of it either! I wonder if it's related to the catnip plant. I once had a cat who loved carrot peels more than catnip, she'd have the same reaction to it. We would peel carrots and put some on a plate for her, and she would sniff and go crazy and play with them. It was so funny! Hope you have a lovely evening too!
 
I changed the title to be a bit shorter so I can update for PMPS entries. Here is what her AM numbers were: AMPS 87 +2.5 93 +4.5 101 +8 96
 
Cassie doesn't official earn the reduction until you catch her under 50. Trust me, when a cat's ready to earn a reduction, they're going to do it.

We don't try to "predict" what would have happened if we did or didn't feed.

Remember, you really want her to stay on insulin as long as it's safely possible to give the pancreas the best chance to rest and recover.

For now, you just want to feed her enough to encourage her to surf....not drop any more but not send her to the moon either.

She is now officially a "long term" diabetic too.....they don't earn reductions until they drop below 40 (or below 50 three times)

I haven't given any food yet, was gonna wait until I saw the official 49 and below number. I just tested and she's at 59. Since I'm staying up and testing I figured it might be okay to hold off on food so I could get some good data and see what number she's gonna go to without food influence. So far so good, fingers crossed she behaves tonight!! I'm glad I clarified tonight about the dose reduction in case she doesn't go below 50, because I probably would've given 1.25 tomorrow morning and she's been doing great on 1.5 so far. :cat: Thanks so much for helping Chris!!

Wow I had no idea! That's a bit relieving to hear that she gets more wiggle room, LOL.

We consider them "long term" when they've been diagnosed for a year....Cassie's over a week past that....LOL

I would usually try to stay up later to watch for you but I have to be out in 5 hours to deal with some health issues with my mom.

@Bron and Sheba (GA) usually checks in late since she's in Australia and it's evening there.

If you need to, don't forget to use the 911 in your subject line if you need it!

Now she’s come up over 50 There is no need to give any higher carb food.
Only need to give the higher carb food if she’s under 50.

I just gave another tsp of food and now I'm going to get a little bit of sleep. :) I'll probably only update if I'm panicking with an extra low number, that way I can just hop right back into bed after I check on her LOL. Thanks for keeping an eye on me! Have a good night/morning! :)
