Updated Midnight's spreadsheet 5/27

[TMR]

Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe I should try to give her 0.75 units....I am going away for a week in 2 days and my cat sitters probably won't test. I have been away or asleep almost every day and night lately, so I haven't been able to get a midcycle reading most days. It just seems that with 0.5 units her sugars have been a little higher than ideal (except for this evening) but with 0.75 unit they seemed better--many under 200. I know I don't want a lot of fluctuations. The goal is to keep the sugars as steady as possible. I am just feeling that 0.5 units isn't enough, based on the readings lately. Any advice would be appreciated. NOTE: I did just switch her food since I found out the EVO was recalled. It is noted on the spreadsheet.

If she was my cat I wouldn't change the dosage until my return. Since you went to .5, you've had five times where she was lower than you felt comfortable shooting......including last night. Since you changed foods on the 24th - you've had two tests that were very high - but they look like bounces from low numbers somewhere in the midcycle....but the other preshots look very good.

You've just made a change in the food that seems to be a positive one for Midnight's BG - hopefully her stool issues are better as well.

The pet sitters can feed/shoot twice a day, but thanks for the suggestion. I guess I will stick to the 0.5 until I return.

I think that's the safest....I'm glad you have a twice a day sitter - wish I could afford one (its 25 dollars a visit and I just can't manage two - plus they can't guarantee their timing).

Anyhow - I'm going to go back and edit that post of mine now that you've seen it so no one thinks I'm advocating going against the protocol - have a great trip....
