AUSTRALIA AMPS 8.0 Testing and curves

[Deborah Jordan]

Vomit everywhere when I got up. Refusing to eat. Do I shoot? AMPS 8.0
Had to go to appointment. She ate eventually. Shot 2U

On SLGS how often do I test?
Do I run a weekly curve? If so what if something that will throw out numbers happens, do I still do the curve on schedule?
What and when/why (not including emergencies or necessary ones) do I do extra testing and what is format to follow- as in at +6 or +1 +2 +3 etc. What benefits are gained. If there's something I can read please let me know.

Thanks

With SLGS you need to rest at every AMPS and PMPS . You do a curve every 7 days. A second test later in the cycle is a good idea so you are not basing dosing on just one bg. Usually if the +2 is much lower than the pretest it can mean an active cycle and the bg might go lower. Cats often are lower at night so occasionally setting an alarm to get a mid cycle is helpful. If you see a lower than usual preshot or +2 that would be a good night to set an alarm. All the stickies at the top of this forum are worth reading.
