Hermione's Dosing Rollercoaster pt2

Finally a shootable 211 after a 3hr stall.

Since it's so late I'm going to follow your advice and lower this dose. I'm giving 1u instead of the 1.5u I've been shooting for yellows.

Do you folks thinks I should drop her PM dose to 2.25u? Or even down to 2u? My little girl can't make this easy for anyone, can she?
 
Well, I like all the blues; it's just those blacks. Can you wait 11 hours from now to shoot? I am assuming a bounce, maybe before +11/12. And if so, yes, I'd lower the dose. Maybe 2 and see what happens?
 
I think I might try holding a dose for 6 cycle (3 days) before you increase by .25 unit only. Of course if she drops below 68 on the AT2 you would reduce the dose by .25 the very next shot time. I think she is bouncing all over the place and by holding the dose consistently for at least 6 cycles you will know if you are hitting the right dose or not.

What do others think?
 
Yes, I'm loving all the blues too, and would love to never see black numbers again! I don't have any plans tonight so checking at +6 & 11 are no problem.

My vet gave me a very simple siding scale to start with (3u > 400, 2u > 300, and 1u >200) and with my vet's blessing I've been adjusting it with all the helpful input from all of you :) I'm certainly not against holding a dose level for several cycles, but I work nights during the week so that makes it a bit harder since I can't monitor closely M-F nights. It's just me and the critters at my house, and I don't trust any of my friends or neighbors to test Hermione & give her shots.
 
395 @ +8

I'm wondering now if I should have given 1.25u. The way she's going she'll be in the black again in 3hrs. How early can I shoot, especially if I'm going to lower it to 2u?
 
So last night not only was I too lazy to fire up the computer, but I slept through my alarm for a +6 test. :banghead:

298 @ +4
81 @ +9!
103 @ +10

I'm really upset with myself for sleeping through the +6 test. I wonder how low she went? I'm glad I leave Young Again out for them to graze on, Hermione's bowl was nearly empty when she woke me up by sitting on my head.

Hopefully she'll be good for a shot at +13
 
281 @ +9

Still a nice & gentle swing. Hermione has been sleeping next to me on the sofa for the past 3hrs, and I didn't want to wake her up just to stab her in the ear ;)
 
Thanks! We're slowly but surely working into better numbers.

311 @ AMPS 1.5u given.

It's actually 12hrs from the last dose, so it looks like 13/11 only worked for one day. But it also looks like 2u was a good choice for last night's black.
 
86 @ +10!

Again I slept through my alarm for +7 :banghead: I almost wish she'd go low like this when I'm at work because I come home for lunch at +6. But she didn't empty her food dish this time, so maybe she didn't get super low? It's exciting (and a bit scary) that 1.25u brought her down like this, though!
 
228 (again?!) after 40 min stall. I gave barely over 1u - it was supposed to be 1.25u again but the plunger went a bit too far while I was getting a bubble out and I figured it was a happy accident. Fingers crossed for continued nice numbers!
 
505 @ +7

I know it was a good stick too, not a fur shot. This is why we can't have nice things lol

369 for PMPS 1.5u given

So I guess that +7 was just a weird moment.

A squirrel moment, as in "Look, a squirrel!". Teasel had one yesterday. As for patience - that's the one BIG thing you need with a bouncy, unpredictable kitty. You can't force anything with them. I say to myself, "Wow, look how much I'm learning ...". ;)
 
Yup!

101 @ +7 last night!

I was too tired to turn on the computer, and I swear I tested her again at +9 but there's no entry in my paper log book. Now I'm dreaming I'm testing my cat's blood sugar lol

138 @ +11
 
178 after 2 hours. I agree it's time for a reduction for pinks

I'm sick home from work but it's getting where I won't be able to shoot this time tomorrow. Since I can monitor, what are you thinking for a tiny dose - .25u?
 
Cool, thanks again!

She's at 195 now, but I'm still going to give the tiny .25u dose. Will that allow me to give her a reduced dose in 8 or 9 hours (assuming her numbers allow, of course)?
 
16 hours after her last shot she's only up to 260!

Since she surfed in the blues so beautifully on .25u I'm thinking maybe I should give her .5u?
