New job! Schedule questions

[Caitlin M]

Yes, sorry. I was just being a brat (and now i'm a little ashamed of myself )

Haha don't be! Sometimes things go over my head. I'm also blonde...

 

[Caitlin M]

His 8.5 was at 130 so I'm not going to test again until PMPS. Thanks all!

 

[Djamila]

What a lovely cycle! Nice work today!!!

 

[Caitlin M]

What a lovely cycle! Nice work today!!!

Thanks! Although I'm a little worried about how much higher he'll go the next 4.5 hours

 

[Yong & Maury GA]

Maybe he'll be nice and give a 199 at highest, so it's still blue! lol

 

[Kris & Teasel]

Lovely numbers, Caitlin!

 

[Djamila]

Maybe he'll be nice and give a 199 at highest, so it's still blue! lol

Isn't it funny how those colors impact our thinking? I mean, there's no difference between 199 and 201, but it sure feels different when you look at the SS.

 

[Caitlin M]

This is definitely a silly question. Does laying in the sun raise their BG?

 

[Djamila]

I have no scientific idea....but I would think it would lower it if anything -- because they happier we are, the healthier we are.

Well he is smiling and kissing me up a storm! So he's very very happy.

 

[Rachel]

Aw what a great cycle!

Actually, someone said it did effect their cats BG! One moment

155 PMPS. Going to shoot another 1.4 unless people think less? I figured since I did 1.4 this am on a 160, this was pretty much the same. However, he'll only have 11 hours til am dose. So maybe 1.2?.....

 

[Djamila]

Hmmm....I might go with 1.2, but I tend to error on the low side, and sometimes be a bit too optimistic. Go with your gut. Or look at Pita and ask him which dose he would like? (if only it was that easy....)

I think due to the 11 hours I'm gonna do 1.2! Thanks

 

[Djamila]

Or do what I always do when I can't decide and go right in the middle...1.3!

 

[Caitlin M]

Hahaha I did the 1.2. we shall see what tomorrow am brings!

 

[Rachel]

Tomorrow is the first day of the new job right?

 

[Caitlin M]

Tomorrow is the first day of the new job right?

Yes!

 

[Rachel]

Awesome! Good luck! We'll be eagerly waiting to hear how it goes!

 

[Kris & Teasel]

Good luck tomorrow!

 

[Yong & Maury GA]

Good luck, Caitlin!

 

[Caitlin M]

Thank you everyone!!

 

[Djamila]

Have a great day tomorrow! Can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Caitlin M]

2 more hours at work! AMPS was 177 so I gave 1.6 and set the feeder for a bit earlier also. Will see what 6pm brings!

 

[Caitlin M]

PMPS was 159. Gonna do another 1.2 for tonight. Also, @Yong the feeder is working great so far!

 

[Rachel]

How was the job??

 

[Caitlin M]

How was the job??

Good! Should be pretty easy but enjoyable.

 

[Caitlin M]

265 AMPS- good, but strange to see! He was super hyper and trying to wake me up, so I wonder if it raised? Maybe 1.2 wasn't enough last night. Gonna stick with 1.6 this am, instead of a 1.8, might help him not bounce?

Every dose is an experiment!

 

[Caitlin M]

PMPS is 146. Stalling 20 minutes to see what I get. If I reach the 150 should I do 1.2 or just 1? When I had 155 I gave 1.2.....

 

[Yong & Maury GA]

You'll be able to monitor for a bit tonight? Will check right back; have to do Maury's

 

[Caitlin M]

Yes I will, I can leave a bit later tomorrow so I can stay up/wake up more.

 

[Yong & Maury GA]

Did Pita contact Maury?

 

[Caitlin M]

Now he's at 144. Really not sure if I should No Shoot or go down to 1 unit.

 

[Caitlin M]

I'm going to feed but still not decided on after. Help please?!

 

[Yong & Maury GA]

I think you're OK with 1.0U since you will be able to monitor . Playing stall game with Maury

 

[Caitlin M]

Thanks Yong. I'll do that and set some alarms now. ::Sigh::

 

[Kris & Teasel]

So did you feed and then give the 1 u? When I had that happen to me with Teasel a few times I fed, waited 45 minutes or so, retested and then shot my regular dose. He should be OK with the lower dose. Maybe test at +2 to see what he's doing.

Yes I fed and gave the 1 u. I've set an alarm for a +3 and +6! Thanks

 

[Caitlin M]

I'm slightly ashamed by how disappointed I am in today's numbers

Just bouncing. Not to worry - it'll pass.

Any idea as to the why for this one?

 

[Kris & Teasel]

Hard to say. He might have had some green last night that you didn't catch. It's good to get a before bed test if you can to see if he's heading down.

I'll do that tonight. It's okay even if it's only a +3?

 

[Kris & Teasel]

For sure! That's as late as I can manage most of the time.

Thank you thank you!!

I usually only get between +3 and +4 too

 

[Rachel]

+3 is a great number to get..it can usually indicate if the kitty is heading down quickly and give you some peace of mind. Plus it helps you figure out what's going on the next day! I usually couldn't get anything past a +3 either...we do need SOME sleep!

Lol I'll let everyone know what I get from it! Thank you
