Kitty is 371 at +8--

Let's start tid now--with 3 units every 8 hours....cast your vote now, before it is +9.....
 
according to the TIDers--you just take what they are getting and divide by 3--so I am saying 3 units every 8 hours and then just be sure she is rising at the next shot...

The only dumb reason I would like to sit out one more cycle is due to the 0 carb food for two cycles and wondering what that did to her numbers?

But BID hasn't seemed to work...so.......why wait any longer?
 
Believe it---have you ever dealt with a Union?!



I am going to give 3 units.......the timing is good.....3:00--11:00 and 7:00.....
 
What am I missing...
7 am - 3 pm- 11 pm - same schedule each day...no 3 am night schedule

I text my vet to ask tell her what I was going to do....her reply...do not go there yet...she might drop again...and you can shoot 4.5 at + 12 to try and avoid rebound.........and people want to know why it is hard to get a vet to help you.
 
the schedule sounds perfect! You can adjust as you go, it is the same only you have better #'s to make decisions with. Why do you call this vet? you know this is right, in fact that is my week-end schedule .... :mrgreen:
 
The vet has all but begged me to wait until Monday to make the change--to give the 5 units a chance over the weekend---she thinks it will work if I feed carb food.....

Good point. She could give a lower dose this time to ensure the total doesn't go over 9-10 units in the day and shoot 3 units at the 11pm time. Three units now and 3 later would be 11, which would be more than the 10 she got before. Maybe try 2 units or 2.5 units and then up it to 3U for the PM dose? You'll get some overlap, so the lower dose probably won't hurt. It is a bit of guesswork when you transition then the first time anyway.
 
Not raining on my parade.....don't really even want to do this......BUT, TOO late--I have already shot the 3.........so what now?

Go to the update page and give me some advice!!!!!
 
As high as Kitty has been, I'm sure she'll be fine. The pancreatitis is part of what is messing up your numbers, I'd guess. Just keep an eye on her and if you need to notch the dose down in the PM, do so.
 
I am already wishing I hadn't tried this.........

Truly, the 3 was shot on +10 of her am cycle. If I had not reduced to shoot TID--I would have shot 5 units at +11.25-----

I am not going to let her hypo---but, where are my key test in this?

Kim, calm down. She's going to be fine, I'm sure of it. You gave her a shot only an hour early then, and with a lower dose to boot. You've shot more on a much lower number. Yes, there will be some overlap, but Kitty gulps insulin and with less even on an "early" shot it should balance out.
 
She'll be fine. She's past nadir, you know what to do.

Sorry, I was just asking. I don't have any experience with tid so I don't know how it works.
 
It's going to stress you incredibly to try to get consensus, not only with all of us'ns here :mrgreen: but with your vet in the mix too. I would pick a plan, stick to it (barring of course numbers that demand a change), and monitor like crazy. The biggest risk that I know of is unexpected drop when overlap builds up - so you could see say steady pinks and yellows for 3 days and then BAM a 50 out of the blue. That's good really, you want the breakthrough, but TID you may not see it coming (not that one always does on BID). Anyhow, you know what to do if you get unexpected lows, so I think you are good to go!

The rules that I know for shooting early are:

- Always shoot on a rising #. If you don't have a mid-cycle # that gives you that, then do 2 tests about 10 minutes apart at shot time.

- Never shoot before +6 (too much risk that they haven't truly nadired).

Seems like there was another rule but yikes I can't remember!
 
Would you stay on one thread! she is not going to hypo, the first dose was past her nadir and the second shot will peter out (past her nadir again) before you shoot the third shot and you will be testing and doing pre-tests.

I'm not sure t.i.d. builds up an overlap, I don't find that with Payne ..... but ECID always applies.

You are not alone, and Kitty is a big gulper, not prone to going low ..... just relax and see what the #'s say.
 
oh sorry, I almost didn't post that b/c I didn't want to scare you. But I think you should have information just in case. Like Nancy said, ECID. May not fall out that way at all.
 
Can you picture this as a grand experiment that you can monitor? You are testing and want to see some movement. Try not to let this freak you out. You know how Miss Kitty acts; you'll stay on top of things.

Is it time for a nice calming drink of wine?
 
When are you leaving for vacation Nancy????

Now, for the record, I am going to have a glass of vino! REALLY!
 
We are leaving tomorrow, with the cat and the new bird ..... don't ask!!

My favorite wines are the German one's, especially the German Riesling! I should have a bottle somewhere! I'm going to look.

I know why at L boot camp they limit you to one condo a day ..... :lol: :lol: :lol:
