Well you can't knock Kitty on consistency--amps 411.
I have noticed that Kitty's amps is consistently running higher than her pmps. I have tried to consider what might be causing this-- I think I am testing and shooting 30 minutes earlier on the night time (pmps) than the amps. I think I am testing about 30 minutes later in the morning. This additional 30 minutes of zoom could be giving us the 50 to 80 point increase in the morning. It is all I can think of--she doesn't eat much at night and doesn't wake me up begging anymore!
I really wish the numbers were better--BUT, she looks and acts so much better. I need to weigh her--but, I can tell she has put on weight.
Fluids are scheduled for today at 4:30. I intend on increasing the dose-- I am using the U40s, so truly I don't know if it is 3.25, 3.3, 3.4??? So, I will just eyeball it and increase from where I am now.
Everytime I update the spreadsheet and see where her numbers were at the begining of this I get furious. Prior to the vet induced DKA, she was doing really good on the 2 units--too bad the vet said only give once a day. I wonder where we would be if she had of gotten the insulin bid. It appears obvious to me from her spreadsheet, that the DKA really set her back. Oh well, water under the bridge--we must move on! I am glad she survived to live another day.
