Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

A couple of questions for the group. I asked in yesterday's convo, but it was late so I am asking again today.

Question 1:
If a cat's blood sugar goes down too low are they able to "sense" that and go eat on their own if food was available to bring it up? Sort of like how diabetic people feel when they are low and needing to eat. Now I realize cats can only do so much for themselves, but I was just wondering if they had a natural sense to eat when low? Anyone know? I was just curious.

Question 2:
What's the minimum AMPS or PMPS number I should watch out for to NOT give him his full dose? Like if he is below such and such number then don't give him his full dose? Or does it all just depend on his nadir? I'm trying to learn more so I don't have to run here for advice every time I see a lower AMPS or PMPS number then before.
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

apollo is doing so well, john... and so are you!
i read through yesterday's thread. it's wonderful that you're already seeing an improvement in his behavior.
hope he has another awesome cycle today!
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Question 1:
Like with most things, every cat is different (ECID). Some cats will search out food if their BG is running low. Others, could easily sleep through it. The only way to know what Apollo will do is to have food out at a time when his numbers are in the greens and see what he does. If Gabby isn't sleeping and I'm home, she either sits and stares at me or follows me into the kitchen.

Question 2:
Until you have more data, we generally suggest that you post and ask for help if you have a number under 150 at shot time. There are guidelines for shooting and handling low numbers in the sticky by the same name. Eventually, the goal is for you to be able to shoot numbers that are in the 50s and above.
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

I'm going to let the more experienced people answer your questions (btw... feel free to repeat your questions even if they sound redundant to you... Sometimes, those are the best questions for you to learn from... Believe me, I've asked many a question that were repeating questions :lol: )

Apollo's looking much better! You will notice after some time that he'll start feeling better for it, if he hasn't started already. Have a great day! :-D
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Apollo, you are doing great and so is your bean! John, please ask the questions until you get a satisfactory response. I also appreciate reading the responses because I learn things for Zener. :smile: Have a great day!

Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Apollo is responding so well! You're doing so great... Keep it up! :cool: :cool: :cool:
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Look at you Apollo! We are still rooting you will be the one to hit and run out of here OTJ in record time... *crossing fingers* Great job...keep it up! :-D
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

that is a great start to the day. often the amps is the last number to come down, for whatever reason. cats seem to often go lower at night than during the day, and that amps is often the highest number of the day as well.

i think you'll start to see apollo's curve flattening out now.
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Hi guys ... yay on the new lowest amps for apollo, that is wonderful! I know with mocha if the house was in full motion she made it be known that she wanted some fuds by vocalizing it to us .. HOWEVER .. there were a few times we got up in the night when the house was quiet and still and caught her down in the 30's (and once or twice in the 20s!) and she was sound asleep .. Hope you guys have a great day!
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279

Hi John:

Sorry I haven't been to your condo yet....we've had a very sick kitty. But I wanted to welcome you and Apollo to LL. Congrats on the AMPS today and you are asking great questions. Just keep 'em coming!
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279, +3 274

Just got his +3 and he is at 274.

Get this. I just saw my cat playing with a cat toy on his own. He hasn't done that in YEARS. He is also coming up and going down the stairs more often. This is COOL!
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279, +3 274

Good morning, John - I hope you got some sleep after all! This is a beautiful AMPS to wake up to.

Great to hear that Apollo is starting to feel better, as well as have better numbers!

:thumbup :thumbup Way to go Apollo! And John \M/ You are seeing what we all look for , our cats acting normal and healthy., This is the best reward for all our work. :-D :-D :-D
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo AMPS 279, +3 274, +6 174

Awesome news about Apollo starting to feel better. Pretty soon you'll be an old pro at this and shooting greens!!

I know Leo will seek me out when he's low, he tends to get very vocal when he's low. I suppose ECID, you'll figure out what Apollo's behavior soon enough.
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo PMPS 165, ok to full dose?

Just did PMPS and he is at 165.

I hope he does ok tonight. I really have to get some sleep.
 
Re: 9/28 Apollo PMPS 165

Hi John and Apollo, what a nice blue surf today! That is way cool that Apollo is feeling good and playing with his toys. What a great guy.

i would think you're ok going to bed, john. if i were you, i would. i don't see anything that would say he's likely to go too low tonight. as always, it's up to you.
