1) Food - is the Wellness Selects on the
food list at
Cat Info? j\Just being canned doesn't make it low carbohydrate. The Wellness turkey and giblets, for example, is 4% calories from carbohydrates.
2) Can we get you to post some numbers you've gotten in terms of how long since the shot?
- Like this:
AMPS = AM pre-shot test
+2 = any test taken 2 hours after the shot
+5 = any test taken 5 hours after the shot
+# = any test taken # hours after the shot
PMPS = PM pre-shot test
3) It is possible your cat has a high dose condition such as acromegaly, insulin auto antibodies, or Cushings
4) Can we get you started using our grid to record your glucose tests? It will help us give you better feedback. Instructions are
here.
Understanding the spreadsheet/grid:
The colored headings at the top are the ranges of glucose values. They are color-coded to clue you in as to meaning.
Each day is 1 row. Each column stores different data for the day.
From left to right, you enter
the
Date in the first column
the
AMPS (morning pre-shot test) in the 2nd column
the
Units given (turquoise column)
Then, there are 11 columns labeled +1 through +11
If you test at +5 (5 hours after the shot), you enter the test number in the +5 column
If you test at +7 (7 hours after the shot), you enter the test number in the +7 column
and so on.
Halfway across the page is the column for
PMPS (evening pre-shot)
To the right is another turquoise column for
Units given at the evening shot.
There is second set of columns labeled +1 through +11
If you snag a before bed test at +3, you enter the test number in the +3 column.
We separate day and night numbers like that because many cats go lower at night.
It is merely a grid for storing the info; no math required.
5) We use candles and rainbows to indicate a cat is deceased. We use 911 when the cat is in imminent danger of death (seizing, ketones, comatose). If you go back to your first post and click edit, you can change the icon to something else, like a question mark.
