Good Morning,
We are at 275 for AMPS. He had a late dose (8 hours ago) of .5 last night as he jumped from PMPS of 149 to 411 after a hypo afternoon.
 
ok so I would go easy today..
maybe stick with .50, but know that he might be a little high tonight
What are you thinking?
 
ok I went back and looked and re read
so Thursday night you went with .4 because your Dadd had been in the hospital
and you needed rest so on that low preshot we werent sure which way to go
so we know that .4 isnt enough insulin for a 225 preshot
BUT, because you shot mid cycle last night I am nervous and dont want him to go
to low again as he might still be sensitive
I dont know if you will be around today to test....
If you are maybe .75....or .50 your call,
but I think if I were you I would stick with the one unit for awhile and see
how Nudddrbaby does with that dose
:mrgreen:
 
I will be home all day today and tomorrow. Do I want to wait and draw him back on time a little so he's not overlapping.

He was shot at 1030 pm last nite. Maybe recheck at 900 am and shoot around 930 after he eats, then again at 800/830 tonite, 700/730 am tomorrow morning and 600/630 tomorrow night?

I leave for work at 7 am Monday so I'm trying to plan for that without hurting him.
 
Oh and my daughter is off on Monday so she can chk him for me. She'll also be here tomorrow and I will do some training with her then.
 
Shooting an hour earlier each cycle can be done, but I'd shave a hair off the dose since it's overlapping a bit. Better safe than sorry. :-D Don't want to cause Nudderbaby to hypo or have an extra long duration (which would mess up your schedule again). :smile:
 
Whats that saying..less is more :)

He is not going thru another hypo. Id rather be in purple for a few sessions. We can deal with that slowly.
 
My biggest issue with him is getting him to eat when I need him to.

So far I have tried:
Bacon, beef, chicken, baby food, different brand of low carb, duck, tuna, salmon.

This morning I put chicken stock on duck for him. Not eating yet.
 
We need to think of reasons beyond just "I don't like what's on the menu" for the lack of appetite.
Is he dehydrated or constipated?

+3 = 400 has not had shot yet. Gave him some small ham cubes warmed up and he sucked them down then went to the dish and ate the warmed up Blue Mountain duck from earlier.

Now we are ready to shoot. I'm thinking .6 (1.5 on u100 syringe) maybe?
 
I would go with that since he is being shot one hour early and you
will shoot one hour early again tonight
IF he is really high tonight you could always up a little
 
Great..I will check him a few times thru the day to keep my curve going.

I pulled a good one when I rolled out of bed this morning. I made him a rice sock yesterday and I was still asleep when I put it in the Mic this morning and hit 2 minutes instead of 20 seconds...now we are on our second sock.. :lol: I bought more coffee and creamer yesterday cuz I figured I'm gonna need it this weekend.
 
Just checked my other cats (Heffer) BS because she's refused to eat today. She would have liked to kill me, even wrapped up. I was waiting to get bitten anytime.

Her BS is 41 right now. I have been talking to her all day and have put several things down for her except seafood which she had yesterday. I went and got some of her old dried food out and took her outside and she ate a couple of bites and came back in. I put some honey on her gums just in case.
 
A normal cat can run from 40 - 120 with the majority of the time in double digits, off insulin. So she is in good shape and a good way for you to test your meter if needed. The honey won't hurt her, but she is absolutely normal.

Now if we could just get them all to eat.
 
Nudderbaby has been chowing all day. I'm proud of him. Let's just hope he continues tomorrow.

I'm making rotisserie chicken for dinner, we'll see if she eats my dinner :)
 
I just read all your comments from today on the SS, and it is a great thing to read that his appetite appears to be really good! Nice numbers too.

He's only hacking when he goes outside?

Carl
 
Yesterday he did it after we played inside for a while but every time he's been out today he's done it a little bit. He doesnt put just his head down like the videos for asthma I've seen, he gets all the way down but it has me concerned just the same.
 
My first thought was "allergy" from maybe something dropping pollen. Then I saw your note saying "24F" so that's not likely the problem...

Carl
 
I'm not going to get too excited about it just yet. I did mention the cough last time he was at the vet and I'll mention it again whenever we go back.
 
I know he has been so good today. I put his food dish back in the laundry room where they are used to eating and he sat there and ate so long I was getting full. :lol:

Our PMPS is 133. I put their food up a couple of hours ago. Will retest at 8:00 before feeding and dosing.
 
We are at 352 +11. He ate last around 3:30 or after. Not interested in eating right now.

I'm not sure where to go from here. His numbers were so good and he ate wonderfully today. I dont want to mess it up. :?
 
My normal draw times are 6:30 so I drew him then as part of the curve. Since he got the late dose last night we were going to go backwards from there on the time he is shot so he doesnt plummet.

He was 133 at 6:30 and is now 352. The 11 hours since his last dose which was 9:30 am.
 
OK, he hasn't eaten in quite some time, so that last number has no food associated with it. Part of it might be a reaction to the lower green numbers you saw mid-cycle.
But it's still lower than that 400 you saw earlier today.
I'm thinking I would stick with the same .6 dose, what are you thinking?

Carl
 
He was supposed to be shot at 8:30 but he wouldnt eat so I let him out for a bit. He's eating a little now.

Since he's getting a shot 45 minutes early, do you think the .6 is too much? I dont know that he will eat as much through the night.
 
Ok we got .6. Let's pray for a good night.

Now I need to figure out how to get Heffer to eat something.
 
Heffer is just totally against the diet change right? And you've removed the option of "dry"? It might come down to giving in a little if you can feed them separately somehow. As long as Nudder eats a good diabetic diet, Heffer might need to be weaned. Did you say in an earlier thread that you got rid of the dry? Can you get just a bit of it back, and maybe mix a few pieces in with her food to get her to eat some? Even though she's not a sugarkitty, she can still be adversely affected from not eating enough for any length of time. A small amount of dry might work as a bribe, if you can make it impossible for him to get anywhere near it.

Carl
 
I had given my mom the diabetic dry food but I still have a little of the other food left that I gave to her tonite. She only ate about 8 pieces but shes always been a nibbler. I'm going to put the rest of it in my food processor tomorrow and start blending it with the wet. Ive tried putting pieces in the wet and she wont touch it. We'll see how this works.

Nuddebaby has eaten twice since his dose so hopefully we are on track
