What a GOOOOOOOOD boy!!!!!

Poor Grayson had to deal w/ Mom being home all day... and "pokeys" (to borrow a phrase!) every hour - and he was really really good about it - no peeling him out from under the bed or anything! He actually came into his test spot in the diningroom on his own, each time w/o incident. Unfortunately for me, he didn't have any terribly exciting numbers today. :YMSIGH: Perhaps some of the shot went into the fur, or maybe those dog food kibbles he had to dry, or maybe it's just his way of saying "I NEED MORE YUMMY FOOD!!!", or maybe he's just being a cat who likes to be unpredictable! Imagine that on this board, huh?

So... here we go:

Despite being a day off, we started early with a +10 of 408 (wasn't sure if he was marathoning, so I waited 1/2 hr...)
+10.5 386
AMPS (+11) 414 shot .2u & fed FF(wasn't gonna let him climb any higher)
+1 415
+2.25 363
+3 343
+4 352
+5 376
+6 341 (not much of a nadir!)
+7.5 405
+8 436
+9.5 403
+10.3 404
PMPS (+11) 342 flat for the last 4.5 hrs, so I fed first & shot .2u, then tested; (I know that's backwards) hmmm... where'd that come from??? But I figured .2u - even if this is on a late [marathon] drop, he's not going too low. Left for a little while to meet Kitty's new houseguest - what a handsome boy! - then back to test some more:
+2.5 306 (most promising number all day!)

Don't know that tomorrow's curve will be quite that regular, but I really would like to catch him before he gets near the 400s, and see a full curve like this where he actually comes down to double digits... It's not that he hasn't already done that before (on .75u), so maybe he's just waiting to show me when I'm not expecting it!

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure they'd consider the name Grayson as sainthood material....but the kitty? Oh Yeah!
 
Re: Grayson nominated for sainthood 2/17

You are doing a great job!
Grayson on the other hand needs to stay out of BOW WOWs food! :lol:
 
Re: Grayson nominated for sainthood 2/17

Barring him getting into the dog food that is pretty flat. I think he needs more insulin.

Maybe you can try increasing his dose to .4u and see what happens as long it is a weekend and you will be testing.
 
Re: Grayson nominated for sainthood 2/17-18

Good Saturday to all -

I was thinking the same thing (about the dose), and DID increase this morning (Sat) to .4u. We'll see how he does - so far so good!

AMPS 379
+2.75 363 (he usually takes 3-4 before I see much of a drop)

So... you don't think "Grayson" is a saintly enough name??? :o Clearly I should've gone to the Catholic school my mom wanted me to attend! - maybe I'd have selected something more fitting! :lol:

So, does this mean my boy Peaches isn't gonna qualify either ? :lol:

Is anyone here old enough to remember a song called "A Boy Named Sue"? Needless to say, my boy Peaches and his sister Palmer (Grayson's littermate - first born on Palm Sunday) don't have ANY issues with what I call them - as long as I keep bringing home the food and filling their bowls/scooping their boxes.... wait - that sounds like I'm their housewife - YIKES!!!

... I'm thinking of something I've heard like "dogs have their people; cats have staff" - yup, that's pretty much how it works!

I sure hope Poopy's not the one pointing the finger at my kids and laughing at them about their names! :lol:
 
Oh heavens no! Poopy loves original names. ;-)

And I remember "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnnie Cash. DH still listens to it. (I can't stand country, but Johnnie Cash is special!)
 
Today's numbers are lower but still staying pretty flat... I was mistaken earlier... I was going to shoot .4u, but recorded .3u - so this probably still wasn't enough. It appears that the .2 has only brought him into the 100s once on one cycle this week (Thurs). Assuming the PMPS stays in the same range, I may go back to either .4 or .5u.

AMPS 379
+2.75 363
+5 300
+6.5 289 (nadir?)
+7 322
(these are still more respectable than the 400s!)

"Daylight's a burnin'" - Gotta get back outside while I still have 66.7 degrees!!! May be a LONG time before we see this again!
