Spreadsheet Fixed

Hi Caren and Apple,

Good to see your numbers up on the SS.

Are there any times I should start testing specifically?

Absolute musts are before you give the insulin dose, so AMPS and PMPS. It's important to do this so that you know it is safe for you to shoot in the first place.

On the board we dose very much based on the data we gather and or dosing decisions are governed by how low a dose is getting kitty, if we know how low a dose is getting kitty then we know whether we need to go up or down in the dose.

I would aim to get at least one test in each cycle, (as well as the amps and pmps) but if you are home with apple, and are able to, then getting two or three tests in each cycle will be much more useful to you.
You are trying to build a picture so it's often more useful to 'sprinkle' tests at different times of the day.
So, for example, one day you might get a +2 +6 +9 another day you might do a +3 +7 +10. It really doesn't matter, it's like a puzzle, and as you fill more pieces of that puzzle you can get a clearer picture of the BGs

Does that help?

Yes, that helps! Thank you :)
 
Hi Caren! So glad to see the SS is all fixed! And it looks great! Yes, Apple's numbers are a bit high, but we've seen worse believe it or not! So hopefully you can get some tests that are mid-cycle like Gill (above) has suggested. It'll be very helpful on deciding on any dose changes to see how low Apple is going on this dose - and you can only find that out - if you test later in the day and in the evening. At least at +2 and possibly at +3 or +4 (but that might require being up later in the pm than you'd rather do)...so any tests after the shot time will be very informative.

I'm so glad you're posting daily now! So tomorrow, when you post could you do it like this: 11/13 Apple AMPS ### - that's what everyone else does generally and we post a little something daily about our kitties.

If possible, you may want to edit your title this evening to display the date and name of kitty: 11/12 Apple AMPS 454 - Spreadsheet Updated!

It'll help us all to keep it straight as to which kitty, which date, etc.

Thanks! See you on the forum tomorrow :)
