9/9 King OTJ TRIAL AMBG 98, PMBG 51

Just a reminder you really don't have to get another test in after AMBG and PMBG if it's green
Just as a reminder
Keep giving small snacks. Here are the direct for an OTJ trial. Good luck!
Instructions for starting the OTJ trial
Start the trial on the next green pre shot.
If he/she is green at your normal test times, no need to test further until the next "PS" time; just feed small meals and go about your day. If he/she is blue at your normal "PS", feed a small meal and test again after about 3 or 4 hours. If his/her number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then the pancreas is working!
Post every day so we can monitor your progress and see if any tweaks are needed. He/she may have a sporadic blue number. Don't panic but post before you decide whether to shoot so we can have a discussion.
After 14 days of no insulin, we have a party!!
Sometimes the trial doesn't work the first time and we have to give a little more support in the form of resuming insulin. It's not the end of the world if that happens; we just give him/her the support needed. Our goal is a strong remission and it's better to take our time to get that than to rush into remission just to have it fail later on.
Good luck with the trial!!!
Once he/she is through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to changehis/her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar inthem and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him/her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If he/she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes(excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), testhis/her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

I know it's tempting to test again lol . I was like that too in the beginning.
Bit if it gives you piece of mind then OK, but you really don't have to.
Have a nice night Maria, good boy King :bighug::bighug::bighug::cat:
@King
 
King is doing better without insulin. :D

Remember, no more tests tonight. Get some good sleep if you can.

@Diane Tyler's Mom Maria was already given the instructions a couple days ago.
 
HAPPY DAY ONE!!!
