9/25 Jax PMPS 46,+1 57,+2 85,+3 91,+4 103...reduction earned - skipped shot

Yesterday

Some nice healing cycles. No sharks or even thoughts about them - I haven't been giving MC to see what he does.

Sending healing vibes to all the kitties and strength to all the caregivers

 

Good plan...let's see if he'll earn himself another reduction soon! Great numbers over all...just need to let him walk down that dosing ladder.

Have a good day!

 

Thanks Sue! I think he'll make his way down...in his own time of course It's Jax's world and I'm just living in it. I just try to admire how gentle lantus can be...his curves are so flat!

 

His curves are seriously a Lantus user's dream! The maker of Lantus should pay you to use them in their marketing materials.
That said, best to keep your guard up.
Have a wonderful day!

 

Once I decide what I'm doing about our vet, the first stop for my spreadsheet will be our new provider And, yes, guard up. Who knows what the morning will bring

 

Definitely Jax is a poster boy for how to work Lantus. You sure know how to handle this dance. Kudos to both of you.

 

Morning Susanne, beautiful numbers for Jax . I'm green with envy
I'll have to have Tyler take a good look at your SS
Have a good day

 

Thanks Elise! This dose is less stressful so there's that lol.

Yes, show to Tyler! And your green with envy line cracked me up Have a wonderful day

Thank you Carla

 

That's cool, Jax. Move your nadir around to spice things up.

+7 52 - I stuck with LC as part of my experiment and will test at +8. I also withheld more food this morning than usual (by a few teaspoons...so funny that's all it takes).

 

He might just take you all tge way to PMPS again.

 

He just might - it's like he knows the number 50 and then steers back up? He cracks me up. Gave him a little bit more of his breakfast (which I've usually served to him by noon and he still has a little bit leftover).

 

My LC experiment today resulted in a reduction earned at PMPS. @tiffmaxee and I had discussed previously giving a token dose of the new dose (1.5). I will monitor of course. Jax behaving just fine at his low of 46 (no hypo).

Should I do 50% of a dose? 25%? or maybe meet in the middle at 0.5 U?

 

If he is under 50 and it’s PMPS I would not shoot anything.

 

Thanks for responding! Okay that's what I'll do! he dipped from 54 to 46 in 30 minutes lol. He's working me lol.

 

You have no wiggle room there. Feed him and you will still need to monitor as he could still go low again.

 

The skip will not hurt him a bit.

 

Got it. Yes will monitor. Re-testing in 15 or so. I mean I feel he was either going to get a reduction this way or staying green for a week.

 

The token “may” have been possible had he been over 50. I’m glad I decided to check my messages. You should get a good night’s sleep. Congrats in the reducie!

 

oh got it - I've been shooting full doses at 50. Got used to that real quick And yes glad you happened to check! Thank you for your help

 

I know you have but he’s staying so close to the edge. I don’t think it’s safe. He’s really making his way down the dosing scale without bouncing. Did you feed before 0.5?

 

True, he really hasn't bounced at all much since he found some greens. And do you mean did I feed him before +11.5? He was flat since +8 so I didn't today. I was noticing him being steered with just LC - so I kind of wanted to see what he would do. I have been feeding him at +10 if I see a drop from +8 or so.

And he's come up from 46 to 66 and I'll keep testing of course. Will get a +1 in 15.

 

I meant when did you get 66, before or after he ate? If before you could still shoot a token. If after I wouldn’t do it.

 

Oh - no, I fed him. Though I guess I could stall & monitor next time. He does seem to get out of sticky situations okay.

 

So it was food influenced. I think had you stalled he would have dropped more. Others might have said shoot but I’m not that brave.

 

Yes food influenced. I too assumed he would keep dropping since he had been flat for 4 hours before (and in the 50s/low 60s for those 4 hours). I know Jax will handle the skip just fine - plus he hasn't had gravy in a few days lol.

 

And there it is. Congrats on the reduction. Of course it happens at PMPS. lol.

 

Thank you Butters told him about the sharks And yes PMPS lol - I mean it was inevitable at some point

 

Jax is doing so great! Hope those greens just keep on coming!

 

Congrats on the reduction!
