    Hi Beth,

    Just saw the 911. Glad you've given syrup. Just to double-check:

    - are you still using an Alphatrak meter and treating with Prozinc (always like to make sure when numbers are low)

    - how long after shot time were the readings taken?

    - have you got any carby wet food with gravy?

    His nadir is usually around +4 according to his SS so if you dosed around 7 AM (?) he's into the lowest BG phase. If you have a minute, could you post all your BG numbers since his AM dose in one column on here so it's easier for us to see what's happening?

    Rub some more syrup on gums before replying - you need to get numbers above 70 at minimum as soon as possible and then work to keep them up.

    I would prefer to see them a lot higher than 70 because of where you're at in the cycle.

    AMPS - 173 [Beth: did Elmo eat OK before his dose?]
    Dose: 0.50 IU Vetsulin

    AM+2.00: 60 - gave 8% carb food
    AM+2.25: 50 - gave 8% carb food
    AM+2.50: 50 - gave 8% carb food
    AM+2.75??: 41 - rubbed syrup on gums
    AM+??????: 60 - c. 5 mins after syrup on gums

    Is this correct?

    You're still very early in the Vetsulin cycle and the most powerful fraction of the insulin is in full force at the moment. Have the car ready to go in case you need to take Elmo to the vets.

    @Tuxedo Mom -

    I'm glad to see you here, Mary Ann; I'm not in such good shape right now so it's good to have more eyes on this.

    I don't know how carby DM is with gravy. If Elmo's numbers don't come up soon I'd recommend a vet trip for safety; 41 on an Alphatrak this early in a Vetsulin cycle is very hairy.

    OK..If you are at +3.5 and have Elmo up to 71, I would give a small amount of HC gravy and then retest in 20 minutes. I was looking at your S/S and when he hit 37 on Oct 30 you were able to get him up with just HC food according to your notes. so it seems Elmo is quite carb sensitive. The syrup will be wearing off shortly so please post after the next test. He is at an acceptable number right now.

    You are doing great!! :bighug:

    @Critter Mom I don't have the actual number but the DM with gravy is a higher carb and should work ok.


    ETA Go get some rest Mogs...I will keep an eye out here and there are a few others on that can also help. :bighug:

    Beth,

    Remember not to give too much food at a time because you don't want Elmo to get too full; you may need to get him to eat more to keep his numbers up as the cycle progresses.

    Maybe mix a little bit of syrup into the gravy to bump up the carb level if numbers slip?

    Thanks, Mary Ann. I've been really overdoing things the last few days and worrying about the Noodle is making me panicky (another thing that makes the fatigue worse).

    The DM chunks with sauce is 10.2% carbs according to the product monograph at my vet's office. The pate is 5.7% carbs. I'm in Canada so I don't know if that makes a difference. It shouldn't.

    Love the cavalry pic! :D

    @Beth 73 That +4 is looking encouraging but Elmo still needs to be watched. I'd test again in 30 minutes with no further food/syrup for now so we can see if he holding his own or if that number is food influence.

    Just about to sign off.

    A reading of 91 at +4 isn't very far above the Alphatrak hypo threshold level. Remember that the crystalline fraction of the Vetsulin is going to kick in - typically anywhere from about +7. If it were my cat I'd be looking to get numbers comfortably into the 100s before then and I'd keep testing until after +10 even if numbers are safe. The plus is that Vetsulin's an in-out but I'd be cautious about how much to give (if any) this evening; today's low might make Elmo more sensitive to the insulin.

    Sounds like good advice. The last hypo of 37 on Oct 30 Elmo did continue to go up without more intervention, but it is always best to be safe.

No treat ???"....advise as to how to proceed...keep taking BG every hour ? Ideas on what dose to give later at PM? The hypo back in Oct was human error as was the slight one last week but if my dear husband is correct he swears he only gave Elmo his 0.5 this morning ..... I had filled the syringe ....

    I would say that Elmo will be fine for the rest of the cycle. It seems that he is fairly carb sensitive so the foods that you were using today work well with his low numbers. You could keep a few of the Fancy Feast or Friskies with gravy on hand for future use (anti-jinx) but he does respond well with the ones you were using today. If you normally give a small meal of regular food before the next shot you could continue with your normal pattern, but at this point he is still rising without any added help. Hopefully he won't jump up too high for the PMPS. You could do another test in a few hours just to see how the numbers are going, but I think you can take down the "911" now. ;)

    Great catch and great job on steering Elmo back up :bighug:

    Looks like Elmo is staying/going up now although that could be some bounce due to the low number too. I'd check him again in a couple of hours (when the second volley of Vetsulin action should be clicking in at about +7). If you usually feed Elmo between shots and want to give me him anything more, I'd stick with his usual LC food.
    As for tonight's shot, Elmo earned a reduction so I'd be inclined to give no more than 0.25u as long as the pre-shot number is high enough. Let's see where he goes the rest of the cycle and make tonight's shot decision once we see what he does the rest of this cycle.

    Yes my two are brother and sister litter mates very bonded. I love the different personalities with the two of them. I DON'T love that they both decided to be diabetic. No real reason for either of them to be FD kitties, so there must be some genetics that came into play.

    Sorry you have to deal with an ongoing urinary problem. Good thing Elmo gave you "the talk" about a better diet for them ;) Again it sounds like there is some genetics going on there, although better food choices will help a lot with the FUS. Sometimes "sharing" is not such a good thing.

    I remember when I brought my two home. My son was around 11 then and asked which one was my favourite. I just said BOTH. He never understoof that until about 9 years ago when he adopted two girlies. I asked him the same question once and he just laughed. :)

    Hi Beth et al,

    Just checking in quickly. Good to see Elmo back in safe numbers.

    I'd like to share a little of my experience with Caninsulin/Vetsulin here.

    When Saoirse started getting low nadirs on this insulin when it came to dosing I put most weight on the NADIR BG and not the preshot BG. At that stage a small dose might produce a relatively moderate drop from a mid-range preshot BG level but it could potentially produce a very big drop down to similar low numbers from a high preshot BG. Here's an example from Saoirse's data:

    20.07.14 - Dose 0.5IU Caninsulin. PMPS: 265 / +3 139 (nadir) - Difference between preshot and nadir: 136 points.

    21.07.14 - Dose 0.5IU Caninsulin. AMPS: 407 / +3 155 (nadir) - Difference between preshot and nadir: 252 points.

    Saoirse's feeding was very well regimented and her activity levels were pretty constant at the time so it is reasonable to deduce that the insulin was the main factor responsible for the drops observed. On the second cycle above the same dose lowered her BG by c. 120 points more than it had the previous cycle.

    Looking at Elmo's data he has been uncomfortably low for a Vetsulin cat on the 0.5IU BID dose many times in recent days. (If it were my cat and I were using Vetsulin I would not like to see it going into double digits at nadir as measured on an Alphatrak; it's safer to have a decent buffer in case numbers take an unexpected dip, e.g the pancreas decides to sputter and produce a little more insulin of its own.) Today's numbers were dangerously low and it took a fair bit of intervention to get Elmo back into safe numbers again. Also I note that Elmo seems to metabolise the Vetsulin quickly; his data shows that the Vetsulin's work is well on the way by +2, and his insulin needs seem to be reducing.

    I would give serious consideration to reducing the dose for safety reasons; today's reading of 41 (Alphatrak) was dangerously low so the 0.5IU dose is too high. Even if numbers drift up a little bit on the reduced dose I'd still be inclined to stick to the lower dose (for reasons given above). Also for safety, I suggest you get a +2 or +3 before bed test every evening to see where the cycle's heading overnight so that you'll know whether or not to monitor Elmo more closely for that cycle.

    I had a fair number of brown trouser moments when Saoirse was on Caninsulin. :oops: It didn't help being a complete FD numpty at the time. I'm just so glad I was home testing (and to this day I'm still cheesed off at the vet who refused to give me any help with it).

    Much of our best education comes from experience rather than "instruction" or "book learning". Instructions and books give you base guidelines but experience is what really counts because our cats don't read the manuals and every one is so individual.

    Amen and amen !!! My friend who is a vet but also trained as a holistic vet says our kitties are more than their numbers...it's also what we know, what we sense about them that is just as important .

    Above all, this.

    BG testing is only a guide; it's a tool for helping us to 'listen' to their little bodies and helping us to keep them safe, nothing more.

    OMG! I was not aware at all that you guys were dealing with hypo. Very well done everybody, Mogs, as usual is AMAZING!
    I'm glad that Elmo is OK.
    I just had hypo with Rocky and was not really prepared for it as he dropped on quite a small dose which I assumed was very safe - how wrong I was! We are learning all the time.
    Best regards to everybody and congrats to Beth for catching and dealing so well with scary hypo!

    Those are actually decent numbers, especially with the AT2 pet meter. If Elmo is a nice kitty [​IMG] he will just surf the blues nicely. It will be interesting where he is at PMPS. But regardless a reduction is in order, or who knows. If the numbers are too low you may have to come up with another plan ;)

    Beth, here are the ones I use as do many other folks here. There may be other options at less cost (although these look pretty reasonable to me given what they cost here in Canada!:mad::blackeye:)

    Glad Elmo is doing okay now, you did a great job dealing with the hypo! Just be extra-vigilant tonight after his evening shot, even with the reduction! :bighug:

    Great job today Beth.....and the kitty cavalry!!

    All these are U100 with half unit markings and are available from ADW online:
    UtiCare
    Monoject
    Carepoint
    Sure Comfort
    BD Ultra-Fine

    They're also available at WalMart if you have one near you..Their Relion Brand 3/10ml, 3o or 31 gauge, 8mm insulin syringes all come with half unit markings and are only $12.58 for a box of 100 (although it seems a lot of WalMart employees don't realize that they DO come with half unit markings!!)
