Duke 6/11

[Bone Daddy]

AMPS 292 1.5u
+8 = 388
1.5 oz wet

PMPS 575 1.5u new insulin rx
+3 = 379

spreadsheet updated

The numbers were bugging me and I started wondering if the insulin may be bad. I had my vet call in a new insulin rx.
The PM shot was with the new insulin.
The +3 numbers look good.
I'll do a +6.

Duke still looks great and is eating well. Woke up this morning with Duke looking me in the eye ready for breakfast.

We bought a bunch of treats from this list:

We ordered from Pet Food Direct. Service was good. The box came this afternoon and we had a full blown cat treat orgy. The Whole Life "Pure Chicken" Treats was especially popular. A little rough math equated our new treat menu with the human equivalence of a serving of the best Russian caviar washed down with a bottle of Dom Perigon

Well it looks like you are bouncing between downward curves and inverse curves. This, to me, tells me that you guys may be going through some liver training - getting the body used to dropping so much mid cycle without sending out glucose to protect itself. Pretty much it is a waiting game - but glad to see you get some drops every other day or so! Keep up the good work!

Good morning. I see Duke is bouncing around a bit with his numbers. I am torn what advice to give right now. The only thing I can think of that you can file in the back of your mind would be:

1. Maybe limit to one or two of those treats. I didn't check out the type of treats they are.I would definitely stick with only Freeze Dried treats. My experience with the treats - I didn't start giving Pru them until two months into Prozinc. I know Duke had some issues with not eating. It's awesome that he is now, but I can't help wonder if maybe he's getting too many and its messing with his numbers? I'll have to find the link, but I remember reading that protein will convert into carbs within a period of time, so that could be messing with Duke's numbers?

2. You have mentioned that Duke is eating several times a day. Again, just telling you want I went through, ok ;-) When we started out - I would feed then add water to it so it wouldn't dry out, but gave a little more food mid day. I would test before I gave the mid-food. I wouldn't feed until the evening, but then gave a little more food late night. Again, test before feeding. I don't know if I was doing the right thing, but this is what I did. :-|

Hope you're feeling better and have a great day!
