AMPS 404.... surprised not a lot higher since yesterday. I opted for .5 U instead of 1.0. Playing is safe today.
 
Hey! I just realized something, the past 3 days Junior had no boiled chicken breast treats. I ran out. I usually give him about 5 1/2in pieces throughout the day after tests. Anyone think that had any roll in the drop?
 
This is going to sound CRAZY.....But, I have actually read where some of the members on the board have actually said that boiled chicken has increased BGs in their cats.

I realize that is opposite of everything that we read-- as chicken is 100 percent protein etc....and I have never noticed it with my Kitty. I feed boiled chicken to Kitty also. But, I have read where members noticed the unexpected effect of the boiled chicken. I have no idea...just repeating!!!

Here is a link where boiled chicken is questioned!

I had not seen that! Thanks, Kim. I am always suggesting chicken.....

It may be that .5 is not quite enough. Today should give you an idea about that. If so, you can pick a dose around one unit and see what it does. After yesterday, it is a new ball game and you are data gathering again. :-D
 
It's looking like there are factors with the type, quality, cut and preparation of the chicken. Neither cat has ever been into snacks and Junior was just sooooo hungry I wanted to do something. He's been kinda wondering what happened to the chicken but then moves on to something else. I'm just going to give him a tiny bit every once in a while for being a good boy.

At +3 i will resume testing every hour til +8. We need a little break!
 
As long as you buy the kind packed in water, it's fine. Not a whole can, of course. Just a few flakes for a snack. I wouldn't give it as the only snack. Maybe find some organic turkey too - no fillers or additives?
 
I just checked Binky's list for Trader Joe's cat tuna and it has 2 carbs. I have the TJ human tuna in water and there are 0 carbs! Going to check out the turkey at the store today. The chicken has always been free range, organic. Or so they say....
 
Hi Laura,
better safe than sorry!
I give Shakes boiled chicken BREAST almost everyday and it does not effect his numbers
I was wondering if maybe whoever was quetioning the chicken
did not give the breast but gave something else like maybe the thigh....
 
I was thinking that too. We made a roaster a few nights ago jazzed up with oil, s & p, and all kinds of herbs. My boyfriend went to give him some and I almost lost it!!!! It's boiled breast straight up or nothing!

+12 410. Getting 1u tonight
