I am baffled. Wish Mom would come on and give us more info on what happens during the day. Is there a chance he is eating low carb and then high carb? Does she think she is getting some fur shots?

The number last night made little sense to me. He has been consistently high, so raising seemed the way to go. Then, normally with a pmps too low to shoot, you would halve the dose - so down to .75 But I am reluctant to advise that since he has been in very high numbers. He had been on 1.25 for 4 cycles with very little movement. I guess it could have been rebound - suddenly lowering from the high numbers.

If she reduces, have her check for ketones.

What are we missing?
 
I'm glad she didn't increase like I suggested last night given the pmps. Something odd is going on with Louie.
How long was he on N?
Thinking it might be time for a "start over.
High AMPS was a sure thing with no shot last night.
How about we start over with something under 1u? Like .6 or .8?

I am not for sure what we are missing....She assures me he is eating nothing but lo carb ff & friskies....
I did mention to her about fur shot??? she doesnt think so???
He is not unfriendly.......he is a cat....only been to her home once, and he basically hung in the back room....would not let me pet.....
Dont know if he would let her shoot w/ me there or not, but might plan to try tonite if she is home, or for sure over the week end....
Our hours are verrrry different.... I am usually in bed by pm shot and up and at work by am shot! BUMMER
She did say he did not eat much during the day yesterday....not curving yesterday due to only 3 strips left...one amps today, one pmps tonite and one amps tomorrow before she can get more strips.....
She will take advice from someone on board and do a skinny 1u but I dont think she will be home today to watch. I adviced she leave out food for the day. She shot 1 unit and he ate before.
 
He was on N for 5 days.

Yesterday he did seem to be sleeping more than usual and didn't eat from 1000am to 600pm. Last night he was fine. I am not hope tdy to watch him, but he ate 2/3 can of ff before i gave him a skinny 1u.
 
Well, he is a puzzle. Any data you can get besides preshots and nadirs will help fill out the picture. If he didn't eat much yesterday, that might explain the lower numbers. Still, wouldn't be a usual response. Cats might go down some but he went down alot and stayed there a long time. If he is going to be a kitty very sensitive to eating/insulin, that is good information for you to have. Be sure to add amount eaten to your spreadsheet so you can go back and see how numbers correlated to food on any given day.

Keep testing as often as you can and fill out that spreadsheet for us. With unusual responses, the more data, the better we can do figuring him out.
 
Ok. I am trying to be patient, but it is very hard. I want him to be ok and predictable right now :evil:

For the most part, now that we've gotten into the test-feed-shoot rythmn he is eating approx 2/3 can of ff (3.5oz) can. Then during the day and during the night I leave out low carb friskies since it is a bigger can and less likely to eat it all b4 I get home/awake.
 
You should test him right before you feed him and shoot. I was just wondering if he ate the meal you leave overnight an hour or so before you take that morning test. That would artificially raise his morning number.
 
lol - Sis is not doing well???? slept the whole time I am home, not playing or anythng, did eat some, not much.... I am taking the cast off tomorow! I want to see what is under there and also dropped the antibiotic to .5 instead of .75.... might be making her sick??? dont know
