The link works for me.

 

It works. Good job.

 

Thanks Kel, I hope that's your name lol

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom thanks Linda you gave me a good pic of it and explained it so even I could understand lol

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom morning Linda

AMPS - 120 Shooting 0.75 Skinny @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

Make sure you monitor him today. That pre-shot is lower so he might dip a bit lower than he has been up till now.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom hey Linda do you know I didn't even notice that , thanks for catching it, knowing what a fanatic I am I didn't notice it. I can't believe Christmas is Wednesday already. Are you done with shopping. Is your SIL coming over @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom I just took a look at his SS and he had pre shots lower than this but we gave only 0.5 , not 0.75 is that what you are referring to @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

Exactly. He'll be fine but may need a little more steering with food. Check at +1 to see where he's headed and if he's dropped much, feed him.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom ok will do thanks a bunch

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom checked him @+1 - 118
I will check him again @+3 are you done with shopping?
Is your SIL coming over for dinner @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

Haven't started shopping aside from one card and yes SIL is coming over for Xmas dinner which I have decided is going to be very simple and totally out of tradition. She probably won't like it but it's food and it's free and it will have to do. Can you tell I'm a Grinch?

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom no you are not a Grinch, I feel the same way lol, I'm not cooking anything special, my dad will probably come over and that's about it. Who knows maybe I'll have Chinese food lol. Just tell SIL like in the movie Mommie Dearest with Bettie Davis and Joan Crawford HetesH your Din Din. Lol
Tested Tyler @+3 - 94 I wouldn't have fed him but he was hungry @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

You two are a hoot I like it all as simple as possible ... Thanksgiving wears me totally out ...that's when I shoot the big wad ....Christmas is for quiet around here ... except we will go to my brothers to see my nephew home from Air Force ... he is in the Para Jumper special forces training so we take any chance we get to see him ❤️

 

Hey Beth, seems like Christmas rolled around so fast, the the new year, I just can't imagine saying the year 2020. Time is flying too fast for me. On New Years Eve I just get depressed, maybe I'll sleep through I'll. Glad you get to see your nephew, proud of him.

 

Thanks , Diane ❤️ My nephew, Connor, is a quiet, focused guy who is determined to get thru this process. They literally try their best to make as many quit as possible. Out of the original 250 they are now down to 80. If he makes it thru he will be a paramedic jumper....they are medics who parachute in to dangerous situations and give immediate med aid before bringing people out. We pray for him a lot .

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom hey there
SUNDAY 12-22-19
PMPS - 158 Shot 0.75 Skinny @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom didn't you have curling tonight

 

I think she's off for the holidays ❤️

 

No curling tonight. Off for the holidays. Suddenly realized that this morning....it becomes such habit.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom ha ha that's funny, at least you will enjoy having the time off, when does it start again after the new year

 

Have an all day competition out of town on Jan 4th and then regular curling sessions start again on the 5th.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom Well at least you get a break for awhile
Linda when do you usually get on line in the mornings and evenings approximately
The only reason I am asking is because when I start the lantus I may want to shoot earlier than I have been, I know if you are not around I could ask for help @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

I've been checking in around 8 to 8:30am. Used to be earlier but lately I've been sleeping in a bit longer. What time did you want to start shooting?

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom 8:30 sounds good to me, I just have to make sure I get my butt up which I usually do because I give Perry his meds at 7:30 am, please don't feel you have to re arrange your time for me @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom OK we can go over it and any other things you might have to tell me a day or two in advance , you have answered a lot of questions already for me and I thank you. I might as well use the rest of the vetsulin I have left , only have 10 U-40 syringes left, so I guess when I get down to the last 2 syringes we can go over everything and still accumulate more data using the human meter. How does that sound to you @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

That's fine Diane. The decision is yours and you might as well use the syringes. Tyler is doing well so there is no big hurry to make the change.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom thanks Linda, I hope you know I truly appreciate everything you do for me and Tyler Going to get off for now unless something happens with Tyler but doubt it, going to make a cup of coffee with my absolute favorite International Delight Creamer Pumpkin Pie Spice, wish they had it all year round, second favorite is Butter Pecan if we don't speak later Sweet Dreams @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom tested Tyler @+2.75 - 87 fed FF Pate LC

 

Good Monday Morning, Diane ❤️ Extra hugs,scritches and prayers to the House of Diane

PMPS- 139 Shooting 0.75:Skinny @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

There you are !!! Had me worried for a bit when you hadn't popped on today ❤️ Hope all is well

 

@Beth 73 had to go to my sisters for awhile, what else is new lol. How's Elmo doing, I see by his SS you had a quiet day with him.
I was up really late with Tyler last night, He had a very good run last night

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom I'm so darn tired , but it was worth it

 

What if Tyler does the green thing again tonight? Hopefully he won't but I would suggest you might want to pull out some higher carb food if he does head down to green tonight so you can get some rest.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom good idea, you make me chuckle what if Tyler does the green thing again Iol , how's everything

 

Got some of my last minute shopping done today. Groceries and wine (the important stuff ) A couple of things to do tomorrow and then I can relax some before dealing with SIL. Man I am dreading Xmas.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom I'll say a prayer for you on Christmas, get her drunk and let her pass out for awhile lol

 

Oh good Lord. She has two speeds now.... slow and backwards. All I need is her tipsy and I'd never get her into the car and home. She'll probably fall asleep here and that will be my cue to wake her up and tell her to get her coat on to go home and I really don't care if she's eaten or opened gifts yet.

 

I'm sorry you lost sleep last night , Diane Hope you got some rest today . I can hardly walk well the next day

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom you are tooooo funny, how far of a drive to her house
If she falls asleep and you wake her to go home just clean her plate as if she ate and open her gifts and tell her that she ate and opened them already lol
Here we go

@Beth 73 Tyler is taking me for another long ride tonight

 

Diane, I'm still up too Hope you are asleep by now . These boys of ours !!! You are doing great ! I had to go to a 14 carb early with Elmo so hopefully I can get to bed in next hour .

 

@Beth 73 still up, going to test him right now, he's killing me here
I hope you are in bed right now

 

Nope ...still up We having ourselves the first official Tyler-Elmo PJ Party , the little farts Going to give Elmo one more check ( + 6.5) then I'm calling it a night .This does get easier , knowing what carbs to give when. You are doing great at it . I'll check back in 30 and hopefully we both can go to sleep !!!

 

@Beth 73 you are too funny little farts lol, I'm glad they are enjoying the PJ Party, I'll be back in 30 minutes , I'm cross eyed right now

 

Bless your heart , Diane ❤️ I've not done two pj parties in a row like you have last two nights Be sure to share with Linda what carbs you have when ...she is amazing at analyzing and making suggestions . Just got his +6.5 133 ...may have overdone the carbs a bit . I'm heading to bed snd pray you soon can too . Hugs to you, Super Bean Diane

 

Just tested Tyler @+6 86 , I'll probably test him @+7 and see where he is, get a good
nights sleep and will talk in the am

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom morning Linda
If you didn't see #49 take a gander lol. Tyler and Elmo had a PJ Party @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

Yes they did !!!! But unlike his NJ cousin, HRH Elmo decided a rocket trip to the moon was in order after the party And was accomplished with minimal MC 14 aid .....oi yeh

 

Looks like you 2 had quite the party last night. Beautiful cycle for Tyler and good cycle for Elmo. Sorry you are both sleep deprived at this point. Tonight I suggest if Tyler's BG is down that low again, consider a little less insulin so you can get some sleep. Unfortunately Elmo isn't quite so predictable. SIGH!

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom morning Linda
TUESDAY 12-24-19
AMPS -140 shooting 0.75 skinny
Do you mean if Tyler goes that low like he did last night, a little less insulin
or if his pre shot is lower?
Did I do ok with what I fed him or should I not have given any of that high carb dry @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@Beth 73 how ya doing Beth, I just hope tonight is going to be a silent night lol

 

Diane, you did fine last night. It would be better to get some wet high carb food instead of the dry for situations when you need to pump up BG as dry takes longer to get into the system but that matters a lot more when you have a kitty sitting on the edge of far too low numbers than if you are just trying to steer them and keep them in nice numbers which is what you did with Tyler last night.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom I do have 15 and 20 % carbs the FF Gravy Lovers
but I was to lazy to open it, if it happens again will do.did you see #47 about SIL @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

Yes Good plan I might have to employ. Drive her crazy this time instead of the other way around. LOL!

 

Oh god we are bad lol about lowering if Tyler drops like he did last night
Do you mean if Tyler goes that low like he did last night, a little less insulin
or if pre shot was lower than it was last night this is what I'm referring to about what you suggested
Tonight I suggest if Tyler's BG is down that low again, consider a little less insulin so you can get some sleep @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

I mean if pre-shot is down into the 130s again you could try 0.5u instead of 0.75u to keep him from going quite so low so you can get some sleep. Sometimes it comes down to self preservation and with Vetsulin, although Tyler is very stable and doesn't drop a lot, when he gets into the 70s/80s you do need to watch him a bit more just in case. With Lantus, it's gentler and not as likely to cause a sudden drop so a bit easier with most cats. Elmo tends to be an exception as he likes to dive to lower numbers. Poor Beth.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom OK got it I understand

 

Amen, Diane .... I vote Silent Night ❤️ Although 5 hours was a good sleep considering other recent nights ... Linda has taught me well, especially at night, to often carb higher and early ...that pertains to Elmo cis he's so special ...

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom tested Tyler @+2.5- 98 .@+3.5- 113 fed no food @MrWorfMen's Mom

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom hey there this is a surprise
TUESDAY 12-24-19
PMPS - 113 What do you think @MrWorfMen's Mom
0.5 on the line? Take a look at 12-19-19 pm same bg funny @+3.5 today he was 113

 

Well with that BG for a pre-shot and you needing some rest, I'd bump it back to 0.25u and see how that works. Sometimes your preservation has to take precedence and Tyler will be fine even if he does run a little higher tonight.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom yes that sounds good to me, I'm really stressed today Ashley is having a really bad day and having a melt down. My mind is fried. Will go with the 0.25 I hope to talk to you later tonight my friend

 

Sorry to hear Ashley is having a bad day. I can only imagine the stress of dealing with that heartache and Tyler in lower numbers. Hopefully he let's you take a break tonight.

 

@MrWorfMen's Mom thanks Linda good thing you suggested 0.25 u tonight
tested Tyler @+2 - 98 not to bad at all so far. Gave him a little Dr Elsey's
115 @+3.5 I will start a new thread tomorrow am Tyler's Journey #25 @MrWorfMen's Mom
