Blue AMPS 407 new dose 9/4...350 AMPS 9/5

https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/blue-amps-367-9-2-388-9-3.234509/#post-2626512

Morning,
I'm already behind. I overslept. I stayed up late to get a reading on Blue and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I guess I was really tired.

He was high last night. This AMPS is 407 so I feel better and gave him his new dose of .75 so we will see in a few hours.

I keep forgetting to hit the button below for posting a message and have lost 2.

 

Dont feel bad I STILL do that.

 

You do not want to know how many times I've done that, Patty. Another favourite of mine is to type a message then hit the link back to the board index instead of clicking on 'Post Reply'. I come back to check on the thread a few hours later to find the unposted message still sitting there.

Most times I have to repost to get rid of the original, because the thread has moved on...

 

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I just asked Diane in the other thread about the vitamins being for humans....

 

And I just posted an answer for you there.

.

 

(I'm good like that. )

.

 

YES! Yes you are!

 

How's your beautiful Bluebird this morning, Patty? (((Blue)))

BTW, test at +2.

.

.

 

He seems fine. He ate a good bit for a cat that never ate much previously. He marched on me for a while and he's off for his morning nap. He's got no worries!

 

That's the sort of report we like to hear! (((Blue)))

.

 

What was your local time when you gave the dose? Also, am I right that your time zone is Eastern Daylight Time? (Just trying to get my head round when your tests will be due relative to BST as the day goes along.)

.

 

It was 9:15. Yes, EDT until November 1.

 

Nice 'n' steady at +2. When are you doing your next test, Patty?

.

 

I can do +2 or +3...I'm around most of the day. I ordered the B12. I saw an herbal supplement for BG in cats. Have you seen it before or anyone tried it that you know of?

 

Not given herbal supplements for BG. For liver and anti-inflammatory support, yes (Nutramed), and slippery elm bark to soothe the digestive tract.

I'm confused now. There's a +2 result already on your spreadsheet.

I'd suggest grabbing a +4 next.

.

 

Sorry I confused you...I meant an additional 2 or 3 but didn't say it correctly. I'll get +4.

 

OK, Patty. I'll let you off.



.

 

I tested and it said high but I retested and it's 275. I'm not sure why the first one was high....but glad I did it again. +4

 

Duff test strip.

If ever you get reading weirdness it's wise to retest straight away. Well done, that girl.

I'd suggest testing again at +6 or +7. (New dose, and might better inform plan for this evening.)

.

 

He's at 236 and eating again. He's been starving all day! I haven't been supplementing with the dry so maybe that's why. He likes his dry food snacks! I was just trying to figure out if he could go without.

 

Nice +6, Patty.

.

 

Maybe the dose increase driving that?

.

 

I don't know. Do you think that's a common occurrence? I was just thinking it was a lack of dry food.

 

Maybe. There is so much interplay between the food and the insulin.

FD is a bit of a voyage of discovery. Keeping notes in the 'Remarks' column about food, meds, litter box habits, etc., can often help you to identify patterns. At the moment you're at the 'Learn Thy Cat' stage of the sugar dance.

.

 

445 +8 back in the red zone

 

How I wish there wasn’t a need to test. We go through the high lows and in between with them. We all want a speedy fix and some lucky people get it. For most it’s a marathon. Hang in there Patty. The new dose can take several cycles to show what it will do.

 

What Elise said. Plus this time round you know that Blue did well on the 0.75IU dose before. Let the depot build...

(((Patty)))
.

 

534 +10

 

There’s something called new dose wonkiness. Give it time.

 

I was thinking about warning Patty earlier about NDW, Elise, but I decided not to in case I'd jinx things.

.

 

Me too.

 

I hate it but understand it will take some time. I'll try to be patient.

 

And there's more...



Catch you on the morrow, Patty.

Good night Mogs

 

We're at 500 PMPS and I gave him .75 Lantus...He's eating, again!

 

We like a good appy.

 

Starting at 350 AMPS

He had dry heaves in the middle of the night. He ate this morning so I'm not sure what was going on. Maybe nothing but thought I'd mention.

 

Possible hairball? That’s been the cause with my two.
looks like the wonkiness might be ending.

 

No, no hairball. That's why I thought it was strange.
He seems fine now. Morning marching and purring..

 

Fingers 'n' paws crossed...

Is all OK, Patty? Been keeping an eye on Blue's SS all day.


Mogs

Mine act like a hairball but often can’t get one up.

 

No, no hairball. That's why I thought it was strange.
He seems fine now. Morning marching and purring.

352 +3 I'm having trouble with the site today.

386 +6 still can't post.

FINALLY...yes, all is well just wouldn't take my post. He's in the PINK.

 

Hi Patty,

Site's working again. As I said above, I've been keeping an eye on Blue's spreadsheet while the FDMB server was throwing wobblers.


Mogs
.

 

Did you see any small patches of liquidy foam?

 

No, he didn't throw anything up just dry heaves. Rare for Blue. That's why I mentioned it. He seems fine today. Maybe a hairball he couldn't get up. I guess we’ll see soon.

 

Stinky pinks all the way today, I see, Patty. Better than the blacks.

.

 

482 +10 I can’t update SS yet but will later. He’s been eating eating eating all day. It’s crazy!

 

At least he's eating. Worse if he wasn't eating. (((Blue)))

Catch you on the morrow, Patty.

Good night Mogs

 

Maybe the puking effected him. Hate stinky pinks.

 

419 tonight PMPS he's eating again...and got .75 Lantus

This didn't post but I just updated SS. I'm going to test one more time tonight.

 

The site is so wonky. Sleep well.
