Tested CC At 3.5 hours after shot and she's 44. Ugh. Currently eating high carb food. Not showing any symptoms of hypo so that's good.
 
44@3.5 gave hc food
45@3.75 gave hc food and about 7 party mix pieces
77@4. Whew. No food

Stopped feeding. Will test at 4.5 which will be 9:45 eastern standard time.
 
The things they’ll do for some party mix, right? :rolleyes:

Edit: never mind this question. It’s showing now.
When is the next test? The post cut off ...
 
Yay! So . . . hold without feeding and test again in an hour? I think that's what I've read, since she has two tests over 50 . . .

Great -- I'll be glad to know what it is.

C.C.: you be good!

112 @+5 Think we are out of the woods. I removed the 911 prefix. I'll leave down some low carb food for the night. :)

Thanks for keeping me company and moral support tonight.
 
Absolutely! I am glad I was online :)

I am very much more glad that CC is in good shape now. I think her nadir seems to be around +6 (I know that school has made that hard to know recently, but that seems to be her history?), so I am absolutely confident that she's going to be just fine!

Yeah it's usually 5-6.... If I am awake in an hour I might check her, but I am sure at this point she's fine. I hope she doesn't bounce to the moon in the morning. That's what she did last time.
 
I would expect her to be bouncy, but hopefully not so much. I think she had fewer high carbs this time?

In any case, I hope that someone with experience can help with figuring out her AM dose (obviously depending on the PS number), but I would guess >7 since that's what you shot on the AM following last time and she stayed high that cycle -- ? I.e., somewhere between 7 and this PM's 7.75.

Yes less carbs this time. No honey this time and less dry/treats. She Did eat a 3 Oz can of hc wet, and a few kibble/party mix treats but not too much.
 
It'll be interesting to see what she does in the morning. I do hope it's not a crazy moon shot!

(And also . . . I made my greater than the wrong way :rolleyes: omg. This is why my work is *not* in the STEM fields!!)
 
Hey — look at that 359 PS! Not too bad! :)

Edit: cross post! Hi Janet! So glad to see CC didnt head to the moon overnight!

I use an Alphatrak, so I had to get the number over 68. So a 44 on the alpha was like a 25-30 on a human meter.... So pretty low last night. Luckily it came up quick.

Oh that’s right :facepalm: I thought you had switched, but now I remember it’s Olivia’s person who switched.

I didn’t realize the two meters still read so differently at the low end. I had thought they came closer as, basically, there are fewer numbers/ a smaller range down in the limes ? But I have already proven that numbers are not my thing, so I’ve probably got that wrong lol.

Well the numbers are definitely closer. 68-150 on alpha, 50-120 on a human meter.

Well dang CC! She sure does like to dive sometimes, doesn't she?

Indeed. I've learned my lesson to go more conservative when the preshots are under 300. Hope she didn't go too low during the day when she had an am preshot in the 200's and I wasn't home earlier this week.


I went conservative this morning because I knew I would be out for nadir.
 
I hope she doesn't go too low during the day. It's tough when you have to be out the house for work (I remember how much I hated that when I had Gypsy!). You do what you can. :)

I can't recall (I have a terrible memory) but are you able to leave food out for CC? Or do you have a timed feeder? I can't recall if someone else will eat up any food you leave. That can be a helpful thing to do when you're worried about her going low...having a snack available around nadir means she can eat if she feels herself going low and might help keep her propped up when needed.

Yes, that's correct. And a few people who have run side by side tests have found that in the lower ranges it actually flips and the human meter runs higher. It really depends on the meters. That's why we always say there is no way to compare/convert the numbers.

Yes I do leave food out. I have six cats but there is almost always food left when I get home. The outside ferals help finish it up. ;)
 
Hi Janet - glad you were home for that hypo. It looks like C.C. just likes to bounce around. That seems to be a common characteristic for many high dose kittehs.

Yeah seems she's predictable when her bg is high. When it's lower I will have to assume she's going to drop even though sometimes she does and sometimes not.

She had a low preshot tonight. The whole family has colds and I don't want to stay up til midnight so I shot a unit less. We need sleep. Lol. I'll test her at +3 and +4
