7/31 Diane +7= 270, +12=194!!

[Haley&Diane]

So, after my issues with injections yesterday both times I decided to give Diane a break from the AM test since I knew I missed last night. This morning I got the insulin in and was incredibly disappointed to see her levels at 270 after 7 hours.

BUT, I tested before the PM shot (which also was successful!) and her levels were at 194!!!

MADE MY DAY! I didn't expect to see the blues so soon into insulin. It was a nice surprise after yesterday's issues with fur shots.

I am a bit surprised though that her levels didn't go down that low until the 12 hour mark. I guess it could've occurred when I went back to work after the +7 test, but I was still shocked that at +7 it wasn't lower. Is that normal for it to dip so late after the shot? I guess it varies by cat?

We strongly recommend always getting a preshot test. As you discovered tonight, sometimes they surprise you. You do not want to shoot if they are in unsafe numbers. Yes, it is not uncommon for a cat to “slide” down all day, especially if breaking a bounce.mif you shoot, this may be an active cycle tonight, needing some monitoring.

Great job yesterday Haley! I'm happy to hear there were no furshots and that your PMPS went well... it will get easier and easier
