suddenly numbers in the pink for Catcat -- trying to figure out why :eek::confused::arghh:

just opened a new batch of strips last night
insulin could possibly be coming to the end of its lifetime :facepalm:
Catcat could have gotten into something, the dog's kibble maybe? though he normally ignores it, it's too big :banghead:

I may try opening another box of strips, will check batch numbers, make sure they aren't the same
will retest in an hour or so, see if things have changed

altogether not a good start here, worried since last night :(
 
Insulin should normally be OK till the last drop if kept in the fridge; sometimes just a little piece of kibble could bring them up!
Don't worry, it's not the first time it happens; cats have their bad days sometimes and they don't always tell us why!!
You'll see with his testing today that good numbers are probably on the way ! :bighug:
 
you are so right, +3.25 = 108 ... whatever was affecting last night and earlier this morning, is now history I guess (big sigh of relief) :rolleyes:

maybe he wasn't enthralled that DH and I were watching football last night, instead of paying attention to him -- of course he wouldn't have known that I took time away from football to make sure he got his PMPS and injection on time ... ;)

then this morning he wanted food at 5:15 AM and was mad that I wouldn't get up right away and feed him -- stalled him off til 6:15 but he let me know that was NOT ACCEPTABLE :mad::cat::mad::cat:

lot more of a bounce than he's had in awhile -- I am SURE I got the Vetsulin out of the house (tee hee) -- all I can think of is that the dog crunched up a nugget then didn't clean up the resultant crumbs -- or Catcat nibbled on a cracker that DH might have dropped and stepped on -- almost acted like the depot was empty and he was back to his no-insulin-on-board values

we'll see what happens at his presumptive nadir, the one coming up within the hour .. assuming I don't wind up falling asleep, six hours' sleep is not enough for this body
 
he's grinning in his sleep as he sprawls on the floor beside my computer chair ,,:cat:

I'm happy because I looked outside and the grass seed I planted last week has sprouted, the part of the lawn dug up by the septic repair guy is no longer a bare patch of dirt and rocks -- has developed a crop of neon-green "hair"

the flower seed packets I had put out, under cover, to plant there too, apparently lost the covering tarp to the wind, and were sodden -- I may see if I can plant the wet seeds anyway and see if any of them grow
 
oh, for a while he watched the action, but the moving figures didn't smell right, nor make the appropriate prey noises

mostly he was lying stretched out next to my legs as I sat on the floor, leaning back on a big cushion, for me it's easier to watch TV that way
 
and up he went again -- c'mon Catcat, I'm the one that's supposed to exercise on the trampoline, not you o_O

at least I didn't have to think twice about shooting him tonight
