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.
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. Don't want to cause Nudderbaby to hypo or have an extra long duration (which would mess up your schedule again). :smile:
+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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
