Sevy - old thread part two

How did everything go today? The spreadsheet numbers look good, but I don’t know what else happened. Did you just give him regular low carb food at the usual times?
 
Hi! It went well. Today he dipped pretty low with 42 and gave him half a can of food instead of his usual one quarter. The last two days he was extremely demoing for food but today just sleepy. I have only been giving low carb food but have med to high just incase if needed

Any time he is in the 40s use high carb food and not low carb food. Then test in 15 minutes. If not rising then give more HC with a drop of karo syrup added and test in another 15 minutes. When they’re in the 40s we can’t mess around with low or even medium carb food.
 
And keep the amounts small— a teaspoon of HC. We need to keep him hungry when managing low numbers. If you fill him up and he refuses to eat and his numbers are too low it becomes more difficult to manage the situation.

You must have disappeared on me to take a break! New dose for Sevy: 2.25. Congratulations 🍾 This time let’s give that dose plenty of time to settle so that we make sure we understand the full impact of the dose. Sevy may still have other plans though… maybe he will want another reduction (and you will know to give HC next time if he’s in the 40s.) I like how you don’t panic though! It helps a lot to keep a cool head.

Yes and thank thank you! For helping during it. I was trying not, but his love for food does help in those moments.
 
Thank you for all the help, Suzanne. I talked on the phone with Joha today while she was dealing with the 40s, and she was cool as a cucumber! She mentioned that Sev was mostly just sleeping in her room in the 40s, and not begging constantly for food, which is a little surprising - my Bell is ravenously hungry and lets me know when she’s low. Good news is that he seemed to have an appetite for all the food coming his way today.

Johanna can confirm, but to answer your question about the 101 - I believe Sev’s shot time is in the 6:30 - 7:30 range, so that would be around +9ish I think?

Shot time is now around 7:50 due to the waiting. I might have gotten the numbers wrong then
 
Is this the first time you’ve used higher carbs?

You also got some good data from today. I think you fed some medium in the 40s and he didn’t budge much. High carbs got him in the sixties but didn’t skyrocket his numbers.

So maybe the dose was just that strong or he may not be as sensitive to the carbs as some cats. Gravy boy!

Curious where he will land tonight at shot time. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is higher than normal
