Good Morning Suzanne, I wish i would of known you were on 2 hours asleep the previous night. I wouldn't of reached out and let you got some sleep.

I keep getting emails and alerts from commenting on Julie L thread. It says I'm watching her thread. How do i disengage this in my alerts?

Thanks again for your help last nigh. Hope he clears the bounce soon and levels out in next few days.

Hi Shawn! Same here… I’m getting notifications on your thread. Trying to turn that off too…:) I just “unwatched” your thread. Did that fix it for you?[/QUOTE

Good Morning, What settings did you go under to unwatch my thread. I must be blind cause I looked for that setting. Thank you

Every time you comment on a thread it will send you an alert whenever someone adds something to the thread - unless you unwatch it. In my case it’s useful or I would never see when y’all write something on your thread and are looking for assistance.
 
Darn, he’s still in a bounce cycle… even though he is bobbling around a bit, but not much. I hope this time he won’t take 6 cycles to clear it! Have a good night though, Shawn. After last night, you will need it.

Hey Suzanne, I seem to notice at +2 he always goes up before he starts coming down..There are times he has gone down first but not many, I know it could be a food bump or maybe he is just has a slow reaction to the insulin..It be nice to see him get in a pattern where he is close to pre shot or 20 to 30 points lower at those +2 readings.

Hi there. I was just looking over his spreadsheet and counting his bounce cycles and trying to predict when he will break the bounce.

I think there could be a small food bump, but really I think it’s simply that the previous shot is wearing off and the new shot hasn’t kicked in yet. So his numbers are rising as the previous shot wears off and it takes about two hours or so for the new shot to begin lowering BG.

Okay thank you..I was looking back over his patterns and that caught my eye.. I look at other members charts that our doing well and it seems like theirs goes down usually at the +2 reading.. Just wanted to see if i needed too change anything.. Thank you
 
Maximus wanted to go back to Disney World and ride his favorite roller-coaster today..

He broke the bounce and had a great afternoon but I'm stunned he shot back up so fast. Little confused and he probably is going to bounce again for 6 cycles..
 
Suzanne & Darcy said:
I haven’t forgotten about you and Sir Maximus, Shawn! I am really pleased with seeing more blue today. I’m taking that as a sign of progress (that he didn’t bounce for six cycles!)

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for checking in.

Ya i was happy to see the blues too, but hated seeing him go back up so quickly this evening. Hopefully fighting off the bounce of 6 cycles means he is getting better with experiencing those lower numbers.
 
Suzanne & Darcy said:
It looks like Sir Maximus is getting too comfortable in numbers that are higher than we would like. I think maybe an increase to 1.75 units might bump him out of so much yellow.

Okay I will increase the dose but I have to do it Sunday so I can monitor him..Will be gone for a work event Sat from 2pm till 11.. Sister will give him his shot . Will look at his numbers before I leave and decide to skip the shot or do a full dose or token dose to be safe since she doesn't know how to test him.
 
Hi Suzanne , Was curious what you thought of that reading today coming off last nights readings. This is the first time the AMPS number has started off lower than the previous night readings. Have a long day today and will not be around from 2:00 till midnight. You think he is setting up for an active cycle? Have to prepare for what his dosage is going to be this evening since my sister will be given the shot. Will test up to I leave. Thank you
 
I would not expect anything too dramatic for today’s cycle— although I hope for more blue. That’s a fairly high yellow and he has started from a similar place before. Just keep your eye on him this morning. Cats have their ways of knowing when we have to go out and leave them — and sometimes they like to surprise us.

Okay thank you have a great day. If everything is smooth I will increase dose tomorrow to 1.75 per. He is the King of surprises and spontaneous trips to Disney for his adventurous roller coaster rides.
 
Depending on his numbers today, I may not be comfortable with your sister giving him the full dose tonight. But if you will be home by +3 or so tonight and if she can give him a couple of snacks before you get home, it may be all right.

How bout if he is in blues at +6 he gets .0.5 if not maybe full dosage, or just to play safe with no worries just give him 0.5
 
It won’t hurt him to get a one cycle reduction to .5. It’s also easier for your sister to draw .5 units. But if he’s going up into pinks (which it is not looking like he will so right now) you could do the regular dose or just 1 unit.

Okay that sounds good. Little nervous because i think he is going down into blues at +6. Better safe than sorry. Always bad timing because i think he was on to a good evening cycle.

Since i will probably be lower the dose, should i give him a few days to adjust back to his regular dose before i increase to 1.75??

Thanks Suzanne

I probably would at least wait an just do 1.5 units on Sunday and see how it goes. He may respond to the threat of an increase, cats just know!
 
And he is in the blue! It’s all good though. It’s a high blue and nothing wacky or steep is happening. He is doing great. Hope your workday will go smoothly. Our favorite black and white boy will be okay!

Next weekend i have to work a Grand Prix racing event Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Going to be long days 7am to 6pm .Do you think I should wait till after that event , or just continue with the increase and adjust dosage accordingly when that time arrives next weekend? Trying to figure it all out so he can get his am shot. I will be able to give him PM shot. Probably have sister give AM shot but unfortunately he will be alone. Little nervous if he bonkers out on the new dosage. Whata ya think??
 
Hi Suzanne, The dates our March 9,10,11,
I will have have some time to monitor him from now till then.. How bout I increase the dose tomorrow am and we'll see how he reacts in next few days and then I can adjust if needed.
 
It looks like he's broken his bounce and is in blue. He could trend down toward PMPS, or not... he like to be tricky. I think in a few more days we will know more. Is he a happy guy today?

Hey Suzanne ya that high bounce was brutal but it looks like he is hopefully on a his way back on track. He's always happy, high or low as long as he's fed and and gets his long naps along with some treats and a clean litter box. The simplicity of a senior kitty at its best.:) Thanks for checking in

Does he sleep in your lap? Or with you are night?

No unfortunately he's not a lap kitty but he does sleep in bed next to me... He has his moments, but likes a little space. He is lying next to me on the couch right now and just woke up from a nap and staring at me for snack time....
