Maybe time to move it up a smidge - tomorrow?

Say 0.75 unit???
Seems like we are going backwards....up to higher doses.
Wonder what is going on. confused_cat :roll:
 
My guess is that her pancreas was working for awhile - and may still be a little bringing her down at the end of the cycle - but isn't helping enough. .75 sounds good for tomorrow am - if you can monitor and if she is still above the 200s

Will do 0.75 tomorrow.

Any word from Rob & Harley? Worried.
 
Hi, Sue sent me a message and asked me to take a look to see what I think...

This is my take on things:
I see inverse curves. But you know how I feel about them....
If an inverse curve is due to a dose that is too high, and you think the higher nadir is a "bounce", then there needs to be real evidence that the low happened between the shot and the "high".
I'm not seeing anything like that. She's testing plenty, and she is not catching the lows. On a yellow or blue preshot, with a pink or red in the middle of the cycle, there needs to be some green, and low green at that, in between. Especially if the dose is .25u. If a few drops of juice is causing a bounce, you'd see it on her SS.
If she really believes that the tiny doses are causing bounces, she'd be better off trying "no juice" and seeing if the pancreas is trying to do it by itself.

Maybe the pancreas was awake a while back? But it looks like it isn't now. It just looks like "underdosed" right now to me. The most the pancreas might be doing now is pushing the numbers back down in the latter parts of a cycle. That would depend upon how much he's eating then, and when. If the pancreas is working, it's going to respond by spitting insulin within moments of an increase in BGs caused by eating. In a nondiabetic, it happens "instantly". Then it's just a matter of how long it takes the cell walls to absorb the glucose out of the bloodstream. That's all that insulin does. It triggers the walls of the cells (the receptors) to allow glucose to pass from the blood to the cells.

Carl...

Thanks for the info....printed & added to the 'collection' for future reference.

Actually...the feeding schedule has become:
Breakfast after PMPS
Lunch between (+4) and (+5)
Supper after PMPS

I try to make sure RumpelT does not have any food as close to 2 hours before PMPS.

I wish I could find a dry food that I could leave out all day .... between breakfast and 2 hours before PMPS. Feeding RumpelT and my 6 civies Friskies all day is making me broke....they eat alot + they are always staring at me between feedings looking for more food. :roll:
 
Evo Cat and Kitten dry (8%)
Wellness Core Original (11%)
Young Again 0 Carb (5%)

Wet is better, but fed is necessary. If its necessary to make some compromises to keep everyone fed, do what you need to do.

Thanks, BJ.

I know RumpelT is getting enough Friskies...I make sure most of it goes to her. I am just concerned that I am 'skimping' on the food my civies get....they like Friskies, but are fussy about the flavors.....it is a smorgasboard at feeding time....I sometimes think I should make a list of what flavor each one likes. :roll:

Civies still get some dry (contraband) which I keep bowls & bags on top of fridge when RumelT is out and about. Hope she never figures out how to jump up there. :lol:

As for RumpelT.....she will eat ANY flavor I put in her bowl. :lol:
