? Doing ok

'Tis the season of teacher viruses - lots of folks are out around here too - and I caught it last week. I hope you recover quickly! And glad you can be home with CC while she is in the middle of changing the rules on you!

I was going to go in and suck it up today, but I do still have an awful sinus headache and dizzy... Probably a sinus infection.... and when I saw her number so much lower than usual today I thought I should stay. At least my lungs feel better today. Yesterday they were all crunchy sounding. I pushed it too much on Tues and Wed because I had to be there for auditions for the school play.

Glad I started early with the high carb. She's at 56@+4 yikes. I gave her gravy and some high carb kibble.
 
58@4.5 squeezing out the gravy from another can and some more high carb kibble.

Edit up to 64 @5 whew. Better.

Another edit... 114 at 5.5.... No food in the last 45 min so I think she's good.

Ok so what do you guys think I should dose tonight? 11 was way too much this morning. I had to steer for hours! I'm thinking 10?
 
Lowered to 10u today. At +4 she's down to 82! :) I gave her a low carb snack as she's usually lowest at +5-6. looks like I could have reduced even a little more. So exciting

Update 69 at +5 even after the snack so I think I may go to 9.5 tonight. :)

Woo hoo!! Go CC!! :D:D:D
 
Okay, you gave her a snack to soften that drop at +4 and even after that she was still in the 60s at +5. She is a BIT higher than this morning, but only by about 40 points, so I think I'd be tempted to drop to 9.5...means you can get some sleep too hopefully.

However, if you feel 10 is better, go for it! I'm a big believer in mama-sense so whatever you think is best, really is best in my opinion.

Maybe I'll do a chubby 9.5. My son is sick (so am I) and I have a feeling it will be a long night either way. Lol
 
Wow! What an exciting run, happening at the worst time when you are not well! :rolleyes::banghead: CATS! Looks like C.C.'s decided she's on a bit of a mission to lower her dose. I'm even more surprised because of her IAA test was negative. Maybe her pancreas just needed an extra big jump start. In any event, finger crossed the positive changes continue. :D

It's actually fine. It gave me an excuse to stay home and monitor her Thurs and Friday. Lol. Looks like tonight will not be as exciting so I can get to bed early. Zzzz
 
Holy cow guys.... 210 this morning. It's like a Christmas miracle unfolding before my eyes. My son still had a fever last night so his misfortune is CC'S fortune. I'll be home to test again. (Sorry to my school.... I do feel terrible about missing 3 days!) Everything happens for a reason. I believe we got sick this week just in time to help her manage these new low numbers during the day. Thank you, Lord.
 
Wow! CC is on a mission for sure! I'm sorry your son is still sick, but so glad you'll be home to keep an eye on CC...talk about timing!
 
WOW! Was just peeking at SS and saw you enter that beautiful green at +3. She may keep you on your toes a bit today but it will all be worth it. She's definitely on a mission! GO C.C.!!

I lowered to 8.5 but looks like even that might be a bit much. At almost 3 hours she's down to 79. She has at least 2 hours to still drop. I have her a spoonful of gravy from some shreds and a small handful of hc kibble. I'll test her in a half hour and see what she is

As long as I'm home that's fine. I'm going to have to go really conservative the rest of the week while I'm working! Yikes! Lol I was originally going to give 9 this morning but had second thoughts and went lower.... I'm glad I did!

It's hard enough with a kitty on "normal" doses of insulin when they start begging for reductions but even harder when they are on higher doses. Your spidey sense is obviously serving you well. I empathize completely. It's thrilling and terrifying at the same time. If you have to, you do a BCS and just look at it like a furshot. They happen and safety trumps all else.:D

She's a bit too low now at 58 at 3.5 so it looks like I'll be doing a lot of steering this morning. I was hoping the drop had slowed a bit more than that. Here we go again!
 
She's definitely telling you she wants less insulin! When she comes up a bit, hopefully she will just surf for while........ of course some of that depends on Momma's steering! Oh that there were a formula for that! :woot:
 
It does tend to get passed around in families, doesn't it? At least you get another day at home to keep an eye on your fur baby too.
 
High preshot today. Maybe I went TOO conservative yesterday when no one was home. 414 :( what do you guys think I should give
 
It's a tough one because CC hasn't been playing by any known rules lately! She does seem to run lower during the day sometimes so I think I'd be tempted to do 7.5. I'd probably do 8 or 8.5 if you were going to be home, but it's harder when she's been so volatile lately!

So it looks like last night she probably stayed high...her usual pattern is to go down by +3 and since she didn't, I'm guessing she probably didn't get too low. I think she runs a little lower during the day, so maybe the same dose as last night would be good. It might not be enough, but who knows? I don't remember...do you leave food out during the day?

I do leave food out.... Breakfast stays and am auto feeder will give half a can at lunch. Laura is actually going to be home today because it's our sons Christmas show at school so she's going. (So bummed I'm going to miss it but I don't want to take off after 3 sick days home). After Friday we are home for 11 days and hopefully can get those numbers down again. So since she will be home I'll try the 8.5.
 
Ohhhh very nice! Then yeah, I like 8.5. If Laura can test and just sort of keep an eye on things (and steer if needed), this could help keep those numbers down and we'll have some good data for this number!

I'm excited you guys will be home starting Friday. I'll be home starting then too, so I'll be watching your progress from over here and hoping we get to a good place while you're able to be home!

Thanks for your help. :). I know her numbers and doses are all over the place this week!!!! I look forward to being home and getting a handle on these numbers. Plus she does run so different at night then during the day. If I was home I would have been tempted to do 9.5 but Laura isn't as confident a tester (getting better though). She's usually the shot person and I'm the tester person.

Good preshot tonight!!218. What do you think? 7? 7.5?
 
Looks like 8.5 today was a good call...she got some lovely blues and then was in yellows for the preshot tonight!

I think 7 was a good idea for tonight. We know 8.5 was too much the other day on a similar number, so a nice reduction will hopefully let her have a nice smile curve and be in good numbers again in the morning!
