Mango at 43bg

[Lesliejm]

What happened? both meters are showing this! Honey for him?

 

[Stacy & Asia]

Yes give him some honey and/or a tsp or 2 of high carb food if you have it, test again in 15-20 mins

 

[Lesliejm]

Okay!

 

[Stacy & Asia]

What is Mango's number now?

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Do you have another test yet?

 

[Stacy & Asia]

Regardless of SLGS or TR, Mango earned a reduction and you would shoot .75 next time. Please give us an updated number when you can. When you post 911, people get worried and keep checking to make sure all is okay. The reason we test 15-20 mins after high carbs is to see how well it's working. Additionally, the carbs wear off quickly, so even if the number looks safe, you need to keep monitoring and testing until it stays up without honey/HC food.

The honey works fast but wears off fast. Do you have some high carb gravy food?

 

[JanetNJ]

He could still drop for quite some time. Make a pot of coffee.

Keep testing every 15 min

@Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey

Are you around to monitor tonight? I am so so tired (sick kid).

 

[Lesliejm]

45 at +10 He seems to be fine. He was in bed with us. I will keep an eye out tonight/

 

[Lesliejm]

I will have to buy some high carb food. I will check in tomorrow or tonight if things change.

 

[Lesliejm]

Thanks! BTB I think he will be okay.

Leslie, 45 is not a good number, I know he may be acting fine, but you need to get it up over 50, he needs more honey and you need to test him so it stays up over 50 without intervention.

 

[Lesliejm]

Will reduce tomorrow if low or no shot at all

 

[Lesliejm]

Okay, will check him in a little bit.

 

[Stacy & Asia]

Okay, will check him in a little bit.

And give him more honey now, you want it to be over 50

 

[Lesliejm]

He did throw up before the pmps

 

[Lesliejm]

Just gave him more honey

 

[Stacy & Asia]

He did throw up before the pmps

I think that can affect bg, but I don't have any real knowledge there or personal experience. Did he eat his food at PMPS? And keep it down?

 

[Lesliejm]

51

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Please don't become complacent. You need two tests over 50 without food influence for him to be safe.

45 at +10

Don't you mean +5? He could still go lower, as many cats don't nadir until +6.

 

[Lesliejm]

Yes he ate and was fine. O0ps no, he threw up before the +3 reading. Just a little.

yes

Great. You want to stop feeding now. Test again in 30. If he's still climbing, test again in an hour and you should be good.

The throwing up could affect the bg, as +3 can be onset. Has eaten more since and kept that down - I mean besides honey?

 

[Lesliejm]

I will check him again in 30 min

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Tomorrow morning's shot should be .75. Congrats on the reducie!

And please take the 911 down now. You have eyes on you and Mango is coming up (anti-jinx).

86

 

[Lesliejm]

[Lesliejm]

BTB for real. I will see what tom. is.
