Hiya Matt!
What a night, huh? We're all sleep deprived around here, especially in the beginning. Sue is the one who helped me through too!! Listen to EVERY word she says. Lol

The Fancy Feast Classics, pates are what I buy. Yes, they are the low carb ones. Different flavors have different values. But the classics/pates are LOW CARB, and all of them under 8%. What you need!!

You are doing great Matt. Sorry for you about last night, but Sue is right: lesson learned. And Tabby is SAFE.

Here's the food chart, scroll to the FancyFeastClassics and make your shopping list! ;)

Some of our household favs are TURKEY and GIBLETS , Chopped Grill, and Tender Beef and Liver.
Read your labels, be sure you're not getting gravy lovers for everyday feeding.
 
I'm posting this in here and on prozinc side. I'm using my phone so I can't look at my spreadsheet. Tabby tested 6 hours after her morning shot of 1.25 unit of prozinc at 300 that was at noon today when I came home from lunch. Just test now at 6pm which would be 12 hours after her shot this morning and she is testing at 293.. I have no idea what to dose because of last night's slight scare I had. Help would be great...
 
Matt, I think you made a good call. One unit sounds good for that number. I think anything more may have set you up for another bounce like you experienced on 8/23. I would make sure to test her before you go to bed. Tabby may be getting early nadirs (lowest drop) possibly so I would suggest a +3 test.

I'm not sure what a nadirs is. Sorry. Is this good or bad? I'm walking in the dark over here all I have is you guys because my vet seem useless with help on this stuff
 
A 12 hour cycle is going to look like a smile if you chart it on a graph or your spreadsheet. The blood glucose (BG) numbers are high at pre-shot time (AMPS and PMPS). Then you shoot your insulin and you can expect that somewhere between the +5, +6 or +7 will be at your lowest number hence a smile. Then after your "nadir" your BG numbers are going to start going up for your next pre-shot time. You are trying to capture your lowest (nadir) number within a 12 hour cycle. That is why it is so important to get tests around that "nadir" time to know if your dose is hitting that lower goal of 50-120 (of course you are trying to get into the green as much as possible).
 
Yep but you can test earlier so you don't have to stay up or set an alarm. If you get a +2 or +3 test, you may be able to see if Tabby is going to go too low for the nadir (+5-+7). We really don't know yet when her nadir is but as you get more tests, you will be able to figure if she goes short or long. So either at 8pm or 9pm (your time), get a test. If she drops around 50%, you may have to get additional tests to ensure that she doesn't get too low.
 
Yep - I think you are good to go to bed. She probably isn't going to get too low tonight. Great job in testing.
 
No sue I can't add anything says I need permission .. I sent the permission request. Did it show on ur end... also what dosage should I shot at tom morning around what numbers
