Harley and I have been MIA for a day. After his vet appointment, work became a ***** so....This AM he is finally down after another hard bounce. Wish I knew how to avoid them. I hope he continues downward today.

Have a good day

Re: 8/31 Harley AMPS 296

I hear you with the work!!!

I just looked over Harley's SS and read his profile. Geez louise, but you guys have been to hell and back!! What a great job you've done to keep him healthy. You should feel very proud of yourself!!! You do have a kitty who bounces like his life depends on it....wow, but they're big ones!! Any time I start feeling sorry for myself and doing the "why won't Champ's numbers come down?" I'm coming to Harley's condo and getting a reality check!!

Good luck and have a fantastic day!!!

Harley is coming down very nicely from his bounce of yesterday/day b-4. Once he hits 50 - I am again treating it like a 40 and giving HC food. Would he qualify for a dose decrease tonight.

Hi there!
Having connectivity problems here today at tbp, and I won't be able to connect in the house (where I can se ss) for a while due to some renovations going on.

did you get any tests in betweenn AMPS and +6?
That's a tough call. When and how much does he normally get fed after +6?
 
Re: 8/31 Harley AMPS 296, 116/+6

Hi Sandy,
Sorry for your connection problem. Yes, I did get a couple of extra tests. 216/+3, 125/+5.25.

I can wait until he reaches 40 but as you know, he drops like a stone after a while. the only food he will get is .4oz FF now (+6.25) and .4oz FF (+9). That's all he will get.

Work called and I lost track of time. Even after eating, Harley is falling. Sandy, I think with him, he will reach 40 today (no R in system) but if I let him, he will get into the 30's before I even know it. I would like to decrease tonight to 2.75. What do you think?

Re: 8/31 Harley AMPS 296, 116/+6

give him a tsp of HC, wait 30 mins and retest. Being that he started the day near 300, I think he'd be better off not dropping any lower than the 90s this cycle. Maybe then he won't bounce so hard. Then see where he goes next cycle. I think you have to work Harleys number from both the top (with insulin) and the bottom (with food) right now. Not only avoiding super low numbers but avoiding steep drops as well.
 
Re: 8/31 Harley 116/+6, 80/+7

I just realized he passed 90 !

definately slow him down, easy does it though, try not to let him get lower

He probably is headed for the cellar...so, yeah, give 2.75u a try tonight.
 
Re: 8/31 Harley 124/+11.5

Harley is slowly going up. Think it's because we are so late in the day. I still plan to shoot 2.75 tonight.

Re: 8/31 Harley 124/+11.5

what you said about him liking to tank once he hits green - it's not a good thing that he does that, but it's a fabulous thing that you've learned him so well, pattie. seriously, you've put a lot of effort into learning how he works - and he's doing so well because of it.
 
Re: 8/31 Harley PMPS 130

Harley is up a little bit more. I hope it's not a bounce, but I stuck with the dose reduction of 2.75.

Noooooooo. . .

It looks like her didn't get below 70, which is good.
So, is he bouncing off the 70,
or is he bouncing because going from 296 to 70 in 8 hours is too fast?
Or going from 296 to 125 in 5.5 hours is too fast
Or all of the above?

So maybe I start in on a little MC when he gets to the 120's and slow things down. I could make my own with a bit more LC than the HC. I think that when I am home, I test often enough to catch something like that.
