Here’s your previous post. Hope all is well. https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/8-30-kittencat-amps-233.234365/#post-2622644
Than Thanks ! I wasn’t sure if I was only supposed to do the previous day or the last day I posted. We had a little hypo-ish incident Sunday night so it threw everything off for Monday. I skipped her am shot and just started back up at her normal time last night.
I vaguely remember. It’s been busy with not a lot of help at night lately. Yes. Always link the last post. That way it’s easy to keep going back to read.
You can still post, though. Just wanna make sure you know that. You can post and just say no shot, especially if you have questions. I don't know if you did have any, but I see you have a 52 on your spreadsheet and that must've been scary. Hope you and KittenCat are doing okay!
Oh! Ok. I will do that then if it happens again. The 52 got me a little worried but I was ready for it. It was right before her pm shot so I skipped it. But then she started climbing really fast and that got me more concerned so I ended up giving her her pm shot way late in the night Which threw off the whole schedule so I just skipped her am shot that next morning so we could get back on her regular schedule. It was so weird to have her just randomly have a 52 after being so consistent the past 2-3 weeks.... ♀️
Did you retest right away after the 52? Could have been a bad strip, not enough blood ,too much, or meter error.
I am glad you’ll post next time! I was looking at your spreadsheet this morning. Is the dosing you recorded accurate? Here is why I ask: You were giving .75u, then KittenCat dropped to 52, which earns a .25u reduction under SLGS if I'm not mistaken. You shot .5u that night (good!!!). Then you skipped the next shot and went back up to .75u. If you were told to do this, cool! I do not weigh in on dosing. I do wanna double check this, though, because I don't see anything in your condo about going back up to the .75u. From what @tiffmaxee says above, it looks to me like KittenCat's dose should have been reduced and held at .5u. In your condo today, let's get eyes on your spreadsheet.
i saw your comments right before I did her morning shot today so I reduced to .5. I guess I didn't understand that you were supposed to continue the reduction if you have low numbers like that. I thought the .25 reduction was just for the next shot so I went back to .75 after she got back to normal #'s.
Once a reduction is earned that becomes the new dose unless there’s another drop under 90. With SLGS you otherwise hold the dose until curve day. If you haven’t already I would print out the methods info as well as how to handle low numbers. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
No! It wasn't you. I meant I misunderstood the instructions on SLGS. When I read through the two main dosing methods they seemed almost identical to me so I just kind of rolled with it.......
