Glucose readings

I spoke with the vet today about my kitties glucose curve. My kitty wears the libre. The vet is nervous to go up a half dose but wondered what you guys thought. Felix is on 1 unit twice a day. The vet said his curve looked good. Showed the insulin is working but when the insulin is losing effectiveness my kitty does have highs between 300-492. Lows in the 115-220.

 

Meant to add this but my finger slipped on post!

 

You do not list the insulin used. (your charts are hard to read)
It would benefit you greatly to set up a signature AND spreadsheet. You can find that info here:
Suggestions, Tech Support & Testing Area
When you set up a signature it gives all the experts "at a glance" info on your cat. such as, Insulin type, meter used (include the Libre) and food given, all these little particulars, are important to giving advice.
The spreadsheet speaks for itself.

If you are having problems setting these up, there are people here that can help. All you need do is ask.

I removed Chris' tag

 

I'm having trouble figuring out what spreadsheet to use.

 

I did post yesterday in there and didn't get a response yet so not sure where to ask.

 

Do you mean the one you have displayed or ours? You can start by setting up the signature and work on the spread sheet when Chris comes to help. I tagged Chris shes a wiz with these spreadsheets.

You are in the right place here.
Sometimes our experts are helping others so its like take a number sort of thing.

Would you be comfortable sharing you and kitties name? Mine is Jeanne nice to meet you!

 

Duhh jeanne lol Now I see you posted in THAT section. smh Sometimes I'm dense. My apologies.

No, right HERE is where you need to be. We will get you started here. Once you get all the current questions answered then you can move to an, "Insulin specific" forum.


I removed Marjes tag...i think

 

I was looking at the post about the different spreadsheets and I'm all confused now. How do you setup a signature? My name is Heather Felix is my sugar kitty. Thank you for assisting me.

 

That's fine no rush. I'm about to drive home from an errand. I will work on making a list wiith glucose readings when I get home. Just curious what the dose should be for tonight. Thanks everyone!

 

ok very good

 

Click on your name on the top right hand corner and in the drop down menu that appears click on signature then enter your info here’s the link again:

Make sure your signature is up-to-date.

• On the left, under Settings, Click on Signature. This is where you will put information that helps us give you feedback.
  • There is a limit of two lines which may include two links; you may separate pieces with commas, dashes, | etc. This is where you paste the link for your spreadsheet, once it is set up.
  • Add any other text, such as
  • Caregiver & kitty's name (optional)
  • DX: Date
  • Name of Insulin
  • Name of your meter
  • Diet: "LC wet" or "dry food" or "combo"
  • Dosing: TR or SLGS or Custom (if applicable)
  • DKA or other recent health issue (if applicable)
  • Acro, IAA, or Cushings (if applicable)
  • Spreadsheet link. Please put the signature link on the bottom line of your signature information, on its own, so it is easy to find.
  • Please do not put any information about your location in the signature for security reasons. If you wish to add your country location, please add it to your profile.

Be sure to click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom. If you need help urgently it is important we know these things at a glance. We don’t want to waste valuable time finding out information.

Thank you!

You do need a Google account so I left the link for that in.

I think she’s not sure what template to use because of the freestyle libre. Pet or human?

 

The Libre is human.

 

Thanks Kel!

 

Thanks everyone. I am attempting to make one now!

 

Okay I made a spread sheet. Was going to add additional info to signature but apparently it is too many characters. Sorry if my spread sheet is confusing i'm not sure what I am doing but it makes sense to me. If anyone has a minute and would like to review it that would be awesome!!

 

Hi. I see your cat has CKD. Do you know what stage or whether early or been awhile?
