8/17 FCC PMBG 108, +3 83, PMPS 94

[Acadaca]

Thinking of all the lovely people and cats on this board and wishing them well.

I swear this wonderful cat is becoming more of a pain. He's even growling back at the civvie instead of walking away. He has reclaimed a spot on the bed. I much prefer this to him not feeling great, but that feisty streak might be intensifying. It was almost impossible to get a test out of him this morning. So many attempted nips.

His number was 108 which is just under the threshold of testing again in a few hours I think? So I will let him be and poke him as best I can this evening? I hope he's not climbing back up and might start practicing injecting on an orange or something.

Unfortunately, when you get a number over 99, a test 3 hours later is advisable to see if his BG comes back into green!

 

[Acadaca]

Thank you! I don't know why I thought under 110. Wishful thinking? Maybe I'll try wearing him out just before the test and hope it doesn't backfire.

I know I'm lucky to be dealing with some attitude rather than bounces or big drops.

He should go down 3-4 hours after eating.

 

[Acadaca]

If he's still blue in 3 hours should I attempt to test again in 4?

No. If not down wait until pmps. If he continues to be blue at pmps then test again at +3-4. If still not green we need to consider resuming a tiny amount of insulin but let’s not go there yet. Think green FCC. Please.

 

[Acadaca]

Okay, thank you. I'll be sending sending him go back to green messages all day.

 

[Acadaca]

I am not sure if I still use +3 when there is no insulin involved, but he is back in the green at 83. Hopefully there is a similar result this evening.

Yes even with no insulin given ,after you fed him this morning you want to see if by +3 that he's green, it tells you if the pancreas is still working

 

[Acadaca]

I'm thankful he is back to green. I suppose we will see what this evening holds.

 

[Summer and Susie (GA)]

Glad your boy came back down, A. Hope he will stay in the greens but if not we will try again for remission.

Thank you. I am waiting to see what his little pancreas does.

Yes, it is 3 hours after a meal. If his pancreas are working, they will produce insulin when he is fed and bring down his BG. If you get a PS above 99, feed and get a test at +3 to see if he is back in green (don't feed between PS +3).

He just squeaked in at 94. That's a fine line he's walking. I hope you're having a good morning!
