Good Morning!

Kitty just can't settle into her TID dosing! Yesterday at her midshot, +8 on tid, she was 176-- I didn't shoot, but opted to wait it out until +12. When, will I EVER learn.....Kitty is a TID Cat?! She was HI at +12. I shot 3.2 -- waited 12 hours again, as I didn't want to start her tid cycle at 2 AM-- she was 505 this morning. I shot the 3.2 again and UNLESS she is 150 or less at her midshot test, she will be getting insulin at +8 today! In the past it was easier to be flexible in my shooting schedule, as insulin was the only thing I had to work around. But, now with the shot rotation for all her other meds, I really don't want to start a wonky shot schedule...I am giving some med every 6 hours now! BUT, I am tired of the High Preshots, so today I am going to bite the bullet and start back shooting as needed. We have come to far, with the help of everyone here, to let the diabetes get totally out of control! Other than that....she is eating well, grooming and seems pain free! She hates the meds...and so do I, but I have explained to her that she MUST take them for us to have more time together!

Sir Chewy was 71 this morning! I am sending the papers in tomorrow! :-D

It is a VERY rainy cool day in the Alley, so we have a fire in the fireplace and are going to practice our relaxation skills today! Since Kitty has been sick, we have not had many uneventful days--- Here's hoping we get one in today!

Wishing Everyone a Great Day from Diabetic Alley......
 
Good morning my extra sweet family! Oh that fire sounds very inviting about now - we have had 2 nights in the low 40's...freezes my warm blooded body! I've already turned off the big heater's pilot but forgot to move the switch - I heard the thermostat keep trying to start about 2am. I did turn on my radiator heater beside the bed.....it's 63 now so all heat's off...

I know your medicine lineup is hard to keep up with - I only have to do this crew's meds twice a day. I wouldn't make it without my dry erase board to check off the names as I give them.

Love the happiness in diabetic alley this morning!!! BIG HUG to every one of you...
 
So, it appears that TID is back on for today--- Kitty was 230 at midshot-- I reduced and shot 2.5. I only reduced because she is not eating as well as I would like....and I was Scared!!! I have NEVER seen her go anywhere near hypo numbers, so I probably would be safe to shoot the 3.2, but I am not comfortable with that at this point. In fact, her appetite has not seemed as good the last two days, so I think tonight I will give her the appetite stimulant. She only gets it every 72 hours, so maybe a dose would do her good. If she would eat better, I think that I could control the BGs better.

It is a rainy cool day in the Alley.......I am trying to find any and everything to do to avoid cleaning!
 
God bless you Kim, you have so much to deal with! Glad you can have a nice day by the fire. I need one of those too! And screw the cleaning, it will always be there tomorrow. Cleaning is a thankless task :-D
Good wishes still comin' your way...
 
I am always impressed by how well you keep up with everything and take care of everyone.

I hope y'all had a wonderful day!
 
So glad to see Kitty is doing so good! Enjoy the fireplace the next couple of days. Before you know it, summer and the heat is here. We have ours going today too! Our kitties went out for a pee and came right back inside and slept by the fire. Don't blame them. It is icky outside today. Snow tonight and in morning. YUCK! i want the warm sunny days back!

Have a great night!

This would be more effective if instead of bowling pins it was a dog, a couple cats and a household.....
but this is Kim:

(notice the smile on her face the whole time too!)

Kim, just a hunch, but I'm thinking you might just as well have filled out that paperwork the day after Chewy arrived at the Alley... ;-)
