Much better than a few hours ago.

Gave the drop dose still. I have 3 tests I can do before running out of lancets lol. They're out for delivery thankfully. Should I do +3,6,9? Or +2,4,6? Or just let him have a day off? Lol.

He is clearing the bounce so there will be some additional momentum this cycle. How about +2 and +4?

Sounds good. If his numbers are okay, I'll feed him at +4 again. It's much simpler than 1/2 TBSP every 2 hours + allows for full 2 hours absorption into BG.

If you get a large-ish drop at +2, you want to feed a little. Fast dives also trigger bounces.

Makes sense.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Makes sense.

You also want to try and figure out how low he is going on this dose. Dosing is based on nadirs. Ignore the bounces. Too much insulin can look like too little insulin. That usually happens when one does not test (or test enough) and therefore misses how low the dose is taking the BG.

Yeah I've never been quite sure what the Nadir is.

The nadir is the lowest bg a cat gets in a cycle. It’s often mid cycle but cats bring cats can be at any point.

Oh yeah, haha. Thanks I knew that... I was just unsure what his was.

He did drop to 89 at ~+2. I'll retest in 2 hours. Gave ~1/2TBSP LC food as a treat. He loves his food.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Try a +5 - it will be 3 hours after the last meal.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Sorry. I didn’t understand your question. With many the nadir moves around a lot. Looks like his is early, around +4 at the moment.

I seem to not have a lot of +5 data as well.

@tiffmaxee Yeah I'm sorry I didn't word it well lol. Yeah the onset is really fast for him, not sure why. He hits low and then starts spiking back up @+6~ish.

 

[DexterMeowgan]

He ate @2:15 which was less than 2 hours before testing @4:05.

Not bad.

 

[DexterMeowgan]

+10 98, last ate at 2:15. Gave 1/2 TBSP food.

Dinner is in just over two hours. Looks good today, if slightly higher than 100.

 

[DexterMeowgan]

PMPS 132, he did eat less than 2 hours ago.
