Morning!

Could be a bounce or he may have just worked his way up there. I can’t wait to see what happens when his 1.5u dose builds.

Has anyone advised you on the importance of getting a before bed test at night? It’s important because cats very often go lower at night. A +2 or +3 might give you an idea of Yoshi will have a safe cycle or not.

FWIW I think you made a good decision not to go all the way to 2u this morning. I’m cheering Yoshi on!! Work that juice Yoshi!!

Hope you have a great day!

Thank you.

Yes, I’ve been told about the before bed shot. It was my intention last night, but I fell asleep.

I will keep trying

LOL! we have all been THERE! Don't sweat it, as you gain more and more experience it will work its way into your schedule before you even know it

Oh Yoshi, what is that horrible start today.

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Good luck with the 1.5 dose-- I hope it starts bringing him better numbers!

Any between-shots tests you can get will be helpful, especially with the increased dose.

A word of caution...

I know you didn't see my post until after you shot. Given that you followed your vet's advise and gave a substantially increased dose, I would have felt a lot better if you had gotten in at least one PM test. Please make it part of your routine to get a before bed test. You can't conclude that the AMPS was a bounce unless you have the data -- otherwise, you're guessing.

I hope Yoshi comes off the moon soon....he really needs to get into some better number territory.

I know, that's why I said "think". I fell asleep. I've beaten myself up enough about it.

Thanks for your kind words Amanda. He was in remission for 2 1/2 years and I am determined to get him there again.

How did Yoshi do today?

FWIW, I'm not supposed to sleep in my contact lenses and I fall asleep in them. How does that phrase go? "Sh*t happens!"

 

[Stressedcatmom]

Lol. Thank you for checking in. I just got home.I’m waiting to test his pmps in 10 min or so. He just drank a bunch of water so I’m assuming he still high I’ll definitely send an update in a bit

Ugh 449

 

[Stressedcatmom]

I’m so disheartened you guys.

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

High numbers suck. There's some chance that Yoshi is reacting to you're having a couple of back-to-back changes in dose. Give his depot a chance to stabilize.

His before bed test +3 was 413. He wasn’t fasting. Some low carb Ff, but still high. I don’t think Lantus is working for him. I may have to switch vets when I can afford it next week and go bk to prozinc. He’s been in high numbers for 2 weeks. I’m not used to this and I try patience pants but watching him drink excessively and be super hungry and absolutely no good numbers is becoming too much to bare. I’m literally making myself sick.
