Hi there , Boo is such a handsome boy you couldn't have found a better place to be
If you can set up what we call your signature that would be great
To set up your signature which you will see is at the end of everyone's post in gray, click on your name up top and then tap on the word signature and add this information
- Add info we need to help you:
- Caregiver & kitty's name
- DX: Date
- Name of Insulin (do not include dose or frequency)
- Name of your meter
- Diet: "LC wet" or "dry food" or "combo"
- Dosing: TR or SLGS or Custom (if applicable)
- DKA or other recent health issue (if applicable)
- Acro, IAA, or Cushings (if applicable)
- Spreadsheet link. Please put the signature link on the bottom line of your signature information, on its own, so it is easy to find.
- Please do not put any information about your location in the signature for security reasons. If you wish to add your country location, please add it to your profile.
Be sure to click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom. If you need help urgently it is important we know these things at a glance. We don’t want to waste valuable time finding out information.
We also have a spreadsheet where we track our cats/BG to see how the insulin is working and how low they are dropping, in case you have any questions about the dose members can look at your SS and give you advice on what to do
If you need help setting up the SS just ask ,we have a member that can do it for you in no time
Here is the link if you want to give it a go it will also explain how the spreadsheet works

You can take a look at Tyler's spreadsheet to get an idea of what it looks like, he's in remission now so there isn't that much testing I have to do. Go to the top of my spreadsheet and tap on 2020 and you will see a lot more testing. It says Tyler's spreadsheet at the end of my signature
A little bit about the spreadsheet
AMPS means the first test in the morning , withhold feeding 2 hours prior to testing so it's not food influenced You would put that number in the AMPS cell that means AM pre shot
If you test him 2 hours later after giving insulin that BG number goes in the +2 cell
and so on
Same thing with PMPS withold feeding 2 hours before that test then test and put that BG # in the PMPS cell if you test 3 hours after giving insulin that goes in the +3 cell and so on
The U column means how many units of insulin you are giving
You can start a new post everyday , you would do it like this/when you start testing
Date Boo AMPS # and any additional tests after that
To add those tests to the right you will see the word Tool Threads tap on that then tap on Edit Thread add those tests and tap Save
Do you have the U-40 syringes with half unit markings?
We adjust the dose by 0.25 units at a time. Those syringes make it easier to do that
if you have an apple device : opening in picture viewer / copying / and pasting here … should work
