Here I was, so worried about Poopy getting the 1.8u today I almost forgot it's his 12th birthday!

Woohoo! Happy Birthday, Poopy love! Hope you have many, many more. :-D

Happy 12th Birthday to the Poopster.
Catnip bags for everyone!
 
I think Poopy's a bit upset there's no Birthday cake (not that he'd get to eat any of it anyway! LOL). He's been loving his chicken chunks, though. :lol:

+3 306
+5 312
+7 303

Not so great numbers but it was worth a try. Wondering if I should stick with the 1.8 or drop down to 1.6u (which he seemed to be doing a bit better with).

Hey y'alls! Thank yews fer the birfday wishes an all. Hopin' yer day iz purrfect! Mom keeps stickin me but eyes gettin' my bird chunks so itz not 2 bad.

Ok, Mom, I saed ma thank yews now wherez ma cake?
 
Highish and flat, Teresa. The hardest to interpret - up or down. Even looked a little inverse. I wonder if he went down into the 100s at nadir with 1.6 last week. If so, he 'd be regulated. I wonder about going back to 1.6 or giving a fat 1.6...
 
Poopy, iz Bob. Look buddy, you gotz to show yor Mom sumpping one weigh or t'hother ok? Yor con fuzing her too much and itz maekin her crayzee. Giv her sum nice numbrs so she nose wat tu du. - I hope yu had a grate birfday and liked yor chick'n! yor pal, Bob.

Teresa,
I don't know. Some days look okay, some days really flat no matter what the dose has been from 1.4 to 2.2. The thing that sticks out for me is that in general, he gets much better cycles overnight than he does during the days. When I look at days where you've shot the same AM and PM, it looks like the next morning he's lower (some days by a lot) "the morning after". I don't know why that is, it's just a trend I see.
The cycle that really sticks out though (and maybe it's due to the drugs they gave him at the vet???) is the night you skipped the shot, and he didn't even seem to notice. He went from 303 to 335 twelve hours later, like he didn't even miss the juice. That is very weird...

Carl, I totally agree it's very weird and why I'm basically concerned. I've done the no shot thing on purpose and due to life happenings a few times over the past couple months and it just doesn't seem to phase him one way or the other. He'll go a bit higher without insulin but still in the same range as with insulin. And I agree with Sue, that it doesn't seem to matter how much or little I give him. He'll have flat, inverse, or very low dips regardless of amount. One cycle does not match another.

As far as his overall health (not counting the bite) he's been fine: peeing, pooping, preening, purring, playing. He's not losing or gaining weight, staying at 14.5 lbs. He has had two incidents where when he pooped it stuck to his back end and I had to help him remove it (seemed more stuck to the hairs around his butt than the butt itself). Once was during the trip in mid June and once yesterday during the AM cycle. The only other issue was the eye goop a few weeks ago (also when he was on steroids and I went as high as 2.2u, with no reaction on BGs).

When the vet suggested upping to 1.8u my first thought was, "That's not going to do anything" but figured I'd play along for a few days to get some numbers to share with the vet.

The ProZinc is half gone, no floaters, and remains pretty cloudy all the time - which I've noticed seems to be normal when half gone.

It's a head scratcher for sure.

Hay Bob. Itz da Poop. Man, eyez ben trin' ta giv da Mom some nice numbas but don relee noze how da do it. Mom keeps trin' an keps stickin' me but de onlee gud thang iz da bird eye gets. Eye givs her lovins sos she noze eyez not mad n stuf. Gots anee idears? Yur pal, Poopy.

I started a new thread "Poopy's Weird BG Saga" and pasted this post there.

I just have to tell you I love the name "Poopy". *LOL* Pumbaa got his name for kitty flatulence. How did Poopy get his name?

How Poopy got his name? When Poop was a tiny little fluff ball, he crossed a busy street to get to my SO, who just had to bring him home, "The gutsy little thing." Poopy was very much a gutsy little thing, getting into everything and anything. When SO (picture a barrel chested biker dude) would shake his finger at Poopy, telling him what a naughty boy he was being, Poopy would simply sniff then mark his finger and carry on with whatever he was doing. Part of SOs tirade at Poopy was calling him "lil ****" and that's what he was going to name him.

Poopy's litter box leavings were also so noxious they'd chase you out of the house. One more reason for SO to call him Lil ****.

When I came into the picture shortly after, Poopy decided while Dad was pretty awesome, Mom was the Cat's Meow. SO and I compromised on the name Poopy instead of Lil ****.

My son added Poopmeister, Poopster, and The Poop as Poopy grew through kittenhood and adolescence. :lol:

The names fit him, too! :lol:
 
Teresa:

Thank you...I loved the story of Poopy's name! *LMAO*

My brother and sister-in-law named one of their cats "LS" short for "little ****".

Pumbaa was named after the flatulent warthog in the Lion King due to his noxious kitty farts. :)
