? PMPS dropping 126 11/5

Didn’t realize I was over 50 posts! Link to old thread: https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/10-31-pmps-146how-much-insulin-do-i-give.237308/

 

Posting his spider photo here

 

I was just about to ask you to start a new thread, but you beat me to it!

Little Bit looks like he's found a new comfy hang out spot, under that spider.
Creativity abounded for how people managed to enjoy Halloween this year.

 

It really did! The kiddos loved the chute my husband made. They thought it was the coolest thing for their candy to come out of the end lol. I will post a photo of the chute.

 

170 now

 

Was glad to see him increasing on his own. He’s been fed, given insulin & his inhaler. He will be glad I won’t bother him for awhile now.

 

very cute Halloween pictures! Your hubby is a keeper.

 

Thank you

 

PMPS is 177. I’m waiting about 20 minutes to test again. I do not understand the AMPS readings in the 300s vs the PMPS readings in the 100s.

 

The “how dare you make me wait to eat” stare down:

 

He’s dropping... 154 now. I need some advice, please. I haven’t had him go lower after stalling before. @JanetNJ @Panic @Deb & Wink

 

Still dropping—145 now

 

I don’t know if it is safe to medicate him since he’s dropping 12+ hours after his last dose.

 

Still dropping 132

 

I'd say skip or just do 1

 

Was just about to tag you, Janet. Thank you.

 

Thank you! We skipped.

 

Well at least you know you can sleep soundly tonight. Lol

 

Yes! Sheesh this guy keeps me on my toes! Thank you so much

 

I just saw where you said or just do 1 unit. Should I give him 1 unit now? He’s about an hour past his scheduled dose.

 

Thank you

 

Hoping Lil is ok this morning. and you too (((Olivia)))

 

Good morning! He was at 367 AMPS which has been his “norm” lately. He is eating his breakfast now and said thank you for checking on him. But for me, I’m a bundle of nerves! Hope you have a wonderful day!

 

I know! I would be too much like Patty you have "like" kitties

 

I cannot wrap my head around Little Bit’s numbers... on the high end in the mornings and then normal-ish in the evenings. I can’t increase because he would most likely drop too low, and cannot decrease because his low isn’t below 90. @Panic @JanetNJ

 

He is 148 PMPS. We are stalling for now to test again.

 

Fell free to tag if you need. I just hate you not getting a response. I have to leave for the evening. Take care.

 

Dropping now to 141

 

Thank you I thought I tagged panic & Janet above, but maybe I’m doing it incorrectly?

 

No you did it right. Sometimes tags just dont go through. Try again!

 

@Deb & Wink

 

Oh ok! Thank you!

@Panic @JanetNJ

 

Enjoy your evening! Have you seen panic on lately? I must have missed her the past couple times I’ve been on. Hope all is well.

 

About to test again +40 minutes from the PMPS

 

Still dropping... 126

 

Got the tag for me.

I see you skipped, at least that is what your SS says. That's ok. "Better too high for a day, than too low for a moment."
Little Bit will likely shoot up fast later, so you might want to still get a BG test or 2, so you can see how skipping the dose affected the PM cycle.

p.s. Busy watching MSNBC and the election results. On tenterhooks.

 

I can still give him insulin now if you feel I need to. It will just be late, but not past 1 hour. I’m glued to the tv, too!

 

Before I give you feedback on a shot of insulin or not, did you feed Little Bit yet?
Would you be willing to get 1 more test, to see the direction of the BG levels?

Maybe a reduced dose for tonight. But it's up to you, and if you can stay up to test and have enough test strips.

 

I did feed him after the 126 reading since it kept dropping. He is one hour past his normal insulin dose time. I can stay up and test and have plenty of strips. He ate about 2/3 of a can of chicken pate.

 

So any BG test you do now will be food influenced. I think it's better that you skip for the evening. Get back on track in the morning.

Next time, stall and DON'T feed, for up to 1 hour, testing every 20 minutes.

 

I am watching CNN right now. I don’t know if the channel has budged since Tuesday lol. Perhaps I need to switch over to MSNBC for a change of “scenery!”
Yes ma’am, I was thinking I had waited long enough but will go for the extra test to stretch him to one hour next time. Any idea why he is dropping “low(er)” at night? Should I be concerned?

 

Many cats drop lower at night because they are more active. That more activity burns up more glucose and causes them to go lower, BG wise.

MSNBC is a bit different for sure!

 

That makes a lot of sense because he was chasing one of his brothers before I tested him. Very interesting.

I’ll have to switch the channel! I feel certain this election has caused me to lose a brain cell or two! Haha

 

He’s 252 at what would be +3.25.

 

No I havent seen her I too hope she is ok

 

I hope she is too :/

 

Just wanted to let you know that Elizabeth (aka Panic) is ok. She's feeling a bit overwhelmed with what is going on in her life currently, so is taking a break from the message board to concentrate on her own life for a bit.

She wanted to make sure that Olivia and Little Bit were ok though. I told her you are doing fine.

 

Glad to hear she is ok and taking time for herself. Hope everything calms down for Elizabeth very soon. Thank you for letting us know. Please let her know we are thinking of her and look forward to her return.

 

THANKS Deb!

 

178 PMPS tonight

 

OI

 

He’s good! AMPS was 237

 

EXACTLY LOL I want to stay there or BETTER.

 

Yes, me too!

 

I heard that Elizabeth is taking a wee break from the board at the moment. I don't know for how long.


Mogs
.

 

Yes, I PM'd her, and she is taking a break for a while. Life got too hectic for her, so she is taking good care of herself right now.
No idea how long she will be off the message board.
For me, it was almost 3 years after my diabetic Wink died before I came back to help out again. Life got busy.

 

I might not be around tomorrow morning . Just found a water break in the line. Had to shut the water off and find a plumber in the morning. Yes LIFE

 

Hope you have an emergency water supply on hand.

@jt and trouble (GA)

 

Oh yeah Our tap water sucks I have bottled delivered. smh we just went through this a few months ago. Its an OLD property.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Olivia

 

I was thinking about the "flushing" situation. I always keep a couple of gallons of tap water around in old jugs, just in case the power goes out which means the well pump can't run, which means the only water around is what I have set aside.

 

Yes we have stored water for such purposes. I just hate lugging it around lol

 

105 PMPS — this guy! Stalling to test in 20 minutes.

 

No worries! Hope you got it fixed quickly!

 

New thread

https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/pmps-105.238395/

 

New thread when you have a chance Olivia. We like to keep threads under 50 posts when possible, and this one is at 65+.

Never mind. I see you already did. Thanks so much!
