Sneakers 2-2 428 am, ketones lower?

[hmjohnston]

Well, I think Sneakers has finally kicked out all the access insulin and her numbers will start creeping up. Also, the ketone level is lower than last night by the naked eye, I still think I need to increase by .5u just in case.

Will start with 1.5. Giving it to her at 7 so I have an extra 30 min to get home after school and not miss the window.

Did not get a +6 bg- slept through both alarms :!: !!! I guess I was tired after all.

Is the ketone test still close to moderate? Can you tell by the key on the bottle, exactly how large moderate is...20,30,40 etc?

How is she acting? Eating? Drinking?

This sounds like a good start to the day. It will be interesting to see if her numbers go down with the increase.

By the bottle- I have the browns- trace is 5, small is 15, moderate is 40.
She hasn't been as dark as the large section- 80 to 160.
Last night was b/n 14 and 40, this morning b/n 0 and 5- so it is better. Meter gets in on Friday.

I upped the dose by .5 just in case. I'll keep her here until the weekend and can do another curve.

yesterday she was more active than normal. She's been drinking and yesterday she ate more than she had been- which started the ketone question. This morning she ate most of the FF can left from last night mixed with water. She hasn't been wanting her treats after pokes- not even the cheese.

Today is my long day- not home until 8:30 or later.

I would also be nervous with the trace ketones
too, and would probably up too
just take whatever numbers you can!

Keeping fingers and paws crossed the increase helps. :smile:

unable to get ketone reading- she hasn't made a trip yet.

But- after her number shot up so fast yesterday night after feeding from her fasting #- she is in the 200's this morning . I had left food out but I guess she wanted MORE!!!!

great early #. will test'n'shoot in 10 minutes before I go.

She is perkier... and more demanding. And has jumped up on the freezer for testing okay. But she hasn't wanted any of the treats I give her for pokes :? . She has been fine without them. ECID.

Perkier and demanding are good!!
nice amps
hope sneakers and you had a great day!

Heather,
It could be just the extra attention and lovin', plus feeling better, are enough of a treat for her. :smile:
