Misty,
Do you think you might be able to fall asleep by 6pm? The reason I ask is that I think you might be able to go with a schedule of shots of noon and midnight. Although a noon and midnight schedule sounds good in theory, it would be a little tough. I would have get ALL of the kittehs on a feeding schedule that is way out of their norm. When I walk in the door from work....food is "expected" :lol:
It would mean getting up at a few minutes before midnight to test and feed, shoot at midnight. Then you can run errands if needed on the way home like you used to do. I can run errands like I have been doing lately...it is a pain to have to 'go back out', but I can deal with it.
To me, it looks like Rumple normally hits nadir before the six hour mark. If you shot at noon, you could go to bed by five or six hours after her shot, and not need to test and feed for six hours. This would also let you get an occasional test during the latter part of the "midnight till noon cycle, like a +8 or +10 in the morning. Not critical, but nice to know once in a while. It also wouldn't make your life all about the kitty right after you get home from work. Like I noted above, they ALL expect to be fed as soon as I walk in the door....they always did. It would be a funny video to see the gang in action at that time :lol:
The only issue would be the Saturday night shot, but that's only one shot a week you'd have to work around. This shot will always be one to work around :roll: I already have my daughter set-up to call me at 10:45PM tonight to make sure I am up....nice to have a day job with weekends off so you can stay up late and watch tv/go out to eat/enjoy company with friends/etc. :YMSIGH:
Personally, with Prozinc, I don't think an hour or two either way is a deal breaker. You can adjust dosage around that. If you shoot early, you can shoot a little less for that one time if the numbers tell you that you need to do so. I did not know this....I was under the impression that it HAD TO BE 12 hours apart. If this is possible....and I can be confident enough about if I should/how much I should shoot....I believe I could work with 7:30-7:30 or 7:45-7:45 schedule. Then even if I happen to get home a half-hour or hour late from work, I can adjust her dose if needed. Is this a correct assumption? The midnight test/feed/shot thing has me a little leary....if I happen to oversleep or her number is not good at that time, I will lose time I might need to retest and deal with any hypo issues if they would occur. Sorry if I am being a pain in your butt....but, rest assured I really appreciate your (and everyone elses) thoughts and suggestions. Let me know what you think....thanks soooo much. :smile:
Like most people, I just worked with what I had and tried my best. prozinc is pretty flexible.
