Not being a Lev user, I struggle to understand a Lev spreadsheet. What I was trying to figure out, since it has been a long day, was how this active cycle would play out, ie.; when it would normally/likely start to be non-carb influenced. What I was looking at was 9/26, 9/23, 9/20, 9/11, 8/31 - all a.m. cycles.
I have ALWAYS gotten him up with HC, I dont know what happened this timeYou did great with this Cindy. I think the take away her is what it does take to bring him up. It seems he is not as responsive to gravy as we might have thought, so in the future honey might have to be the "go to" for action. I don't know if one episode can be definitive re: carb sensitivity, but I think it is safe to say he is hard to bring up. The next question is how much honey is needed because as you say, he had gravy all day. From my experience, I keep note of the amounts of karo / honey and would also want to have a syringe available to dispense if required as my Rose won't always eat a plain sugar. Now if we mix it with butter that seems to be something she finds irresistible!
YES!! For sure thanks to them and you also
I'm just figuring out what to do about his feeding, then , I guess shot. My daughter and I will most likely stay up all night if we have to and see what he decides to do. 
Thank goodness, the university library is still open and my password still works. I remembered on the drive up that @Rosie & Bailey also gave tremendous support during the day. Thank you.
YES! A sweet person that came along to get help
Yes. 12 hours after you gave the AM shot. And then best practice is to "walk it back" 15 minutes each shot until you're back at your regular time.If I shot 1 hour late this AM because of low BG, do I shoot one hour later at PM, I need help with this please
I know you are coming in late, but would 1u be ok if he doesnt drop anymore,? he's been kept safe for over 12 hours with intervention.Yes. 12 hours after you gave the AM shot. And then best practice is to "walk it back" 15 minutes each shot until you're back at your regular time.
Its up to you ultimately, but bare in mind that if you do such a reduced dose, you're still may have some Lev action from the depot. I've never really been to comfy with dosing advice. =( but I am an "err on the side of caution" type of person.
ok
so if I skip tonite, do I just go back to his normal schedule,if it warrants shooting his same dose from this AM, which had a reduction and is at 2.75?
Shout outs to everyone who stepped in to help out.
Linda answered this above, but yes - if you decide to skip tonight, you can go back yo your regular shot time tomorrowok
Hi Cindy, I'm back and just checking in to see how you and Taco are faring. You have been one very busy lady today. Taco has you well trained as his servant!
As a Lev user with a long term diabetic, my inclination in your situation, after the day you just put in, would be to skip tonight and let the depot drain a bit. I am always a little leary of a some insulin sensitivity after that run of greens that Taco is not really used to. He may bounce a bit but better safe than sorry and you need to get some rest so you can continue to look after the little man. If you skip, you can then go back to your preferred time schedule because in essence all you are doing is extending this cycle.
You did a great job with him today.
I'm not sure you needed to give as much HC as you did. Generally they can surf with LC once you've got them solidly above 50. It's cycles like today that can help Taco's body learn that normal BG numbers are good and that he doesn't need to bounce as much. The path to regulation starts with some serious green stretches. There is no worry about insulin sensitivity to a long stretch of safe greens. My civvie tested in the high 40's, we just don't want cats on insulin to register there as it leaves no margin for error. 
If you just look at the numbers today, it was a lovely cycle. Taco had an amazing stretch of healing green that was wonderful for his pancreas. Although hard on you.
As an example of what a Lev cycle might look like, and how to use food to manipulate the numbers, take a look at @Jill & Alex (GA) Alex's SS. When Jill started Alex on Lev, she tested a lot, mostly as a teaching tool for herself and others, as whe was one of the early Lev users. The * symbol marks when food was given. See how flat those green cycles can be. I loved giving Neko her Lev shot with her in the 80's. cause for her, it often meant movement of no more than 10 points the entire cycle.
With Lev and it's later onset, you do have to learn to give insulin at lower BG numbers. Neko would occasionally give me a number in the 40's before preshot. I would just stall 20 minutes, not feed, test again, and she was always up enough to shoot. I then had 4-5 hours before onset so plenty of time to get her numbers up with regular LC. Many Lev kitties have their lowest point of the cycle around preshot time. Though unnerving, it did mean I was usually home for the lowest point of the cycle. It actually gave me more freedom.
Since you skipped tonight, your new AMPS is whenever you want to, as long as it's 12 or more hours from this morning. Get some rest. Tomorrow is another day.
Cindy, you have to set your own tolerances and I can understand your reasoning for wanting to switch to SLGS after the day you put in yesterday but I really think there are other options for you to think about.
Yes, you're rightI too am wondering how you and Taco are doing today.
Cindy, you have to set your own tolerances and I can understand your reasoning for wanting to switch to SLGS after the day you put in yesterday but I really think there are other options for you to think about.
If you look back on your spreadsheet, you have shot a green reading about 7 times before yesterday, all at lower doses, and possibly not food influenced (I didn't check the food notes thoroughly to confirm this). Yes you had to steer him to some degree but he surfed along in absolutely perfect numbers that weren't straddling the edge of safety. You could stick with TR but up your pre-shot reading limit and consider reducing the dose for a cycle when you have a situation where Taco throws a low number especially one you really have to address with food right before pre-shot time.
With my girl I found there were times when I would skip a dose but my preference was to either do 2 longer cycles (I was lucky in that I usually had that luxury) or give a reduced shot for one cycle just so I could shoot and keep up the momentum when I got a lower reading. If I had to feed an extremely low BG before pre-shot, I found Levemir was more forgiving than Lantus when it came to switching up doses a bit. In some ways, Levemir struck me that its behaviour had a touch of in and out as well as depot insulin characteristics and I didn't lose momentum when I decided to use reduced doses or extend cycles to accommodate my schedule, save my sanity and keep my girl safe.
Just some food for thought.
I have shot greens, but they were much higher, Taco started his day yesterday with a 46 at +11.75, that's 15 minutes before his AM shot 
I had to think quick and act and decide .The only and best thing I could do at the time was try and get his BG up so I could shoot on time, but, 15 minutes was impossible, so ,after I got him up,I have to admit I was horrified and put my big girl panties on and DID shoot,1 hour late at a .25 reduction. I knew it was going to be a long day because the gravy was not working like it had in the past, and to be honest, I had never just used the gravy to bring him up, I had used the meat AND gravy, and I wanted to follow instructions AFTER I finally used the meat&gravy, I got good results. I gave him 2 full teaspoons of the meat &gravy and he ate that. I was having a big problem with him just lapping gravy, we were forcing him and he would NOT finish it. So now I know, just give him the meat and gravy, if that happens again 
And I got that yesterday from some, even tho not all were on the same page I just don't like someone telling me I should have done it a different way, after the fact.And when I'm working on Taco, I cant go look at someones SS and try and compare anything. NO 2 SS are even closely comparable. But again I was counting on someone to coach me. I need to make decisions on my own.
I can say yesterday was not a waste,but, definitely a learning experience. Thanks to all that gave me support and helped me make decisions that I could not have done on my own 
Cindy, I hear you loud and clear! You did a brilliant job yesterday and you are right. This isn't a one size fits all situation by any means. One of the pat quotes you will hear around here is ECID or Every Cat is Different. Along with that goes "know your own cat". If you feel you need to hold a dose longer than 3 days to truly see the effects, then do it. Maybe you need to hold a dose for 4 days or 5 days. There are those who follow the TR protocol to the letter and it works a charm. There are those whose kitties don't read the rules (my girl was a prime example) and some adjustments have to be made. And this isn't just about kitty.....it's also about the people who are taking responsibility for keeping kitty safe while aiming at an ultimate goal of decent regulation or remission.
Please don't feel you won't get support if you deviate from the exact instructions of TR. Life happens and our kitties are all individuals. I would venture to guess that most folks despite essentially following TR to the letter, have at some point in time, deviated from the exact protocol. We virtually adopt every kitty who comes into this forum and no one is going to deny you support just because you choose to change the rules a bit to suit you and Taco. My view is that TR is a set of guidelines that can be used as a baseline for dealing with each individual kitty. Only time and experience will let you know if you need to tweak the guidelines to suit the needs of you and your kitty.
From my perspective, right or wrong, Taco wasn't very interested in eating yesterday and the fact that the steering started very early in the cycle made it imperative not to fill him up with food too early such that he wouldn't take something later if needed. If he had been willing to eat more LC food when it was offered, that might have changed some suggestions we all made along the way. But that wasn't the case and all you can do is deal with the situation as it unfolds.
You will no doubt get some different opinions about how to deal with Taco from different people. It's ultimately up to you to decide what you feel is right for Taco and what you and your daughter are willing/able to do. The opinions offered here are given with the best of intentions but they are not orders even if sometimes it may seem that way. I was on my own with my kitty, so my decisions sometimes meant I had to take precedence over my kitty's needs because I really needed a few good nights of sleep or some social time. It's a balancing act and too often we get focused on the cat and forget that the people involved have limitations too.
He has not followed ANY rules He LOVES to be high, you should see him today vs yesterday, ALL BRIGHT EYED and bushy tailed, roaming around like he's IT! Yesterday, all he did was sulk and sleep, he looked awful I know we've got to get those numbers down ! Before he was diagnosed, he gave us no clue that he had diabetes. I caught him drinking an excessive amount of water,by chance. He did lose some weight, but, at 15 pounds his vet was elated because he said Taco was grossly obese. I disagree.He's always been a big cat and is down to 14 ish, his brother, George is 22 pounds and healthy.George looks exactly like the kitty you have as your avatar. Then there's adopted brother Boots, who thinks he's spider man, all day. They sure are all different! We'll get through this, I know we will, maybe lots more steep mountains to get over, but, I think each one will be easier to get over. I do know after yesterday, I'll need a little less hand holding and maybe none, but, I'm happy to know it's there if I need it. Thank you again for your reassurance
If you let us know how you want to do things differently, by putting the exceptions in your signature, then we can help. Having a no shoot below 55 doesn't put you into SLGS category. SLGS means holding the dose 7 days (unless reductions are earned) and reductions at below 90 and not shooting below 90. Some experienced SLGS peeps take reductions at a bit lower. We have had numerous people say they need to hold a dose at least 5 days for their cat. Just document what you are doing if that's what works for you and Taco. For example, even though Neko was a long term diabetic, I did reductions at 50. She had acromegaly and if she went below 50, she needed less juice and held her reductions.
