Angela & Blackie & 3 Others

I wanted to stop in and say "Hi!!" to those that knew me before I switched over to LantusLand.
I'm NOT bragging here, and wanted to get that out of the way. Just giving those that remember us an update on Blackie.
Blackie's doing extremely well, especially of late. It was a bit of a struggle to figure out her food, but I finally found something that worked for her. She's now officially on a no-carb diet, and eats only Evo 95% Chicken & Turkey 6x a day as well as 2 snacks of steamed boneless, skinless chicken breast. She gets 0.50 oz. of everything 8x a day (combined). She's been losing a bit of weight because of the small amounts of mini meals, and is now down to 11.5 lbs. I still would like to see her at 11 lbs., but that may or may not happen. We'll just have to see. I finally got her regulated on fat 4.00u BID, and have recently been decreasing the past couple of weeks by 0.25u, the last decrease (currently the 3rd) being this morning, where she's now at fat 3.25u. I've been keeping a can of HC foods closeby to bring her up, I tell ya. :lol: There have been a couple of times that I've had to use it, especially last night when I caught her at 37 +3. Talk about my
when I saw that #. Needless to say, I was extremely elated when I realized that it was an automatic decrease for this morning. 
No playing, but the other 4 P's (LB duty, preening and purring). Her favorite activity... Running after the Momma Bean (being me, of course), whenever I walk around the house, especially when I go to the kitchen (which is ANY kitty's favorite spot, right? :lol: ) If she gets off the insulin, great! If not, at least the need for insulin will be less than it was, which is just as good.
I could write this into a book, but I don't have all night right now. :lol: I hope that everyone is doing well. I'll drop in again soon (I'll check again in a bit tonight as I'll be awake for a while anyway... I think it's going to be another test fest tonight, similar to last night. :lol: )

It's been a long road, but we're getting there.
