    115 at the +12.5 mark, let her lick some of the HC food about 30 minutes ago- probably not smart but that was me wondering if she ate her auto feed food because I didn’t separate them today

    Rosa, when you stall you do not feed as it bumps up the BG.

    Are you going to be home tonight to test , all night if necessary?

    What is my other option- to stall the shot? I still haven’t shot her.. I’ll just try and scale her back every 15 minutes if I’m to wait.

    I’ll be home I just will want to be sleeping at some point.

    is that what diabetics would do (humans) if their pre shot was low, would they wait until it went up and then just change their every 12 hour shot time

    Once you have given her some food, there is no sense in stalling longer.
    First priority is to keep her safe.
    How long can you test tonight?
    I have to leave soon so please answer

    I gave her a drop of HC - she mostly licked the gravy and that was an hour ago.

    say I did not give her food- what would the protocol be- keep testing every 30 until the BG rises enough to shoot?

    I need to know if you are willing to test tonight as long as it is necessary.
    And do you have some higher carb food and plenty of strips

    can you answer my questions?
    We need to decide if you are going to shoot.

    What is as long as necessary. So every time she tests low I need to be prepared to test every hour? There has to be an easier way- will stalling the shot help?

    Id rather keep stalling so I don't have to keep testing her so much.. I ordered some more Freestyle Lite strips- I can't take the blood amount for the Relion- its making both of us mad (Mimi and I) that .2 is a HUGE difference..

    If you shoot, you will need to test as long as it is needed. It will all depends on what the BG level does.
    It is not good to skip with a post DKA cat.

    Rosa --

    If someone is offering to help you, you need to stay on track and answer their questions. Bron is telling you she can help but within certain parameters. I won't be awake much longer. I have to work tomorrow.

    People are different than cats. A human can make his or her own decisions and/or communicate to other people. Our cats do not communicate in English and typically cannot feed themselves. Asking what humans do is irrelevant.

    If you are going to follow TR, you need to decide what is the lowest number. you feel that you can comfortable shoot.

    Im not exactly sure what you mean by not answering her questions..Also, I tagged 5 people, three which were online, and didn't hear a response for an hour. I just need to know if her BG is in normal range, will that mean it stays that way. I don't want to shoot her and do what I did yesterday- something about that seemed like I should have waited. Isn't human diabetes very similar to feline in the way its treated and handled? Thats the gist I got from Dr. Pierson from catinfo

    How do I know what is the lowest number? have I collected enough data to know? I read about TR and its said you can shoot as long as its about 50 was it? but that comes after knowing your cats cycle

    Read above post #12 to see what Bron posted and how you were asking more questions and not responded to what she asked. And yes, she told you she had to leave. Just like I said I can't stay up with you because I have to be up early for work and I'm also juggling an emergency at work tonight.

    With TR, ultimately you should be able to shoot any number over 50 providing you can monitor and have strips and HC food on hand. No one expects someone to do this immediately out of the gate. Look at Gabby's SS. Look at Marje's Grace's SS. Look at lots of SSs. Feline diabetes is similar to diabetes in humans. However, humans can test themselves, eat at will, etc. A cat does not have opposable thumbs and can't open a can of food.

    You are asking for guarantees. There are none. A cat is a living being and inherently, they like to be unpredictable and keep us guessing. Ideally, when you shoot low, the curve flattens out and the cat "surfs" in a good range. But, that doesn't always happen. Hence, you need to be prepared to monitor and have supplies should they be needed.

    If numbers are below your comfort zone, you can skip, stall but do not feed your cat, or shoot a reduced dose. Those are your options.

    I just tested her and she’s 110... could that mean she’ll stay low all night? Should I test out skipping a dose since I’ve waited so long?

    At what time did you get the 110? The information isn't on your SS.

    I have no idea if Mimi will stay low all night. None of us have a crystal ball.

    If you've delayed more than 2 hrs, you should consider whether your schedule can handle being off track by that amount. Also keep in mind that skipping a shot is not the best strategy for a cat that's recently experienced DKA.

    What do you think you should do?

    You are two hours late for the shot and gave HC 45 minutes ago? Is that correct?

    I, for one, didn’t get your tag. We’ve found that if you put the tags next to each other, it doesn’t seem to notify the tag-ee. The best way to do it is make a vertical list, one name per line.

    well last time I skipped it was because she was at 60, 70, and then at +16 jumped to 528!! but this time her numbers are in the blue, looking like a cat that doesn't have diabetes. I don't know. I guess just keep checking and as soon as its high enough, shoot? I don't want her to bounce again, that can't be good for her pancreas right?

    no I gave a tiny bit (I don't even know if she ate the actual meat, she was licking it mostly) at +12. so its been almost 2 hours since then. I fed them their raw at 10:45, because a recent DKA kitty should keep eating too right?

    FROM CATINFO.ORG

    Very Critical Points

    If you do not read any further on this webpage, please understand the following principles. Your cat’s life literally depends on your understanding of these issues.

    Many cats that are in a diabetic state no longer need any insulin when they are finally fed an appropriate low-carbohydrate diet.

    Others will always need some insulin but the amount necessary to maintain proper blood glucose levels is nearly always significantly reduced once the patient is on a low carbohydrate diet.

    Please re-read the previous two paragraphs carefully.

    If you change your diabetic cat’s diet to one with lower carbohydrates, he will, in all probability, IMMEDIATELY (not days or weeks later) require a reduction in his insulin dosage. He may also immediately go into ‘remission’ and not need any insulin at all.

    If this warning is ignored, you may very well end up with a cat in a hypoglycemic crisis (dangerously low blood sugar) which can result in death, or brain damage.

    If you take only one point away from this page, it needs to be the understanding that if you stop pouring carbs into your cat by switching to a low-carb canned food diet (or even a dry food diet with lower carbs than you have been feeding), you MUST be aware of the probable immediate and significant impact on your cat’s insulin needs.

    What +time is 10:45? Giving the hour in your time zone is not helpful since were scattered all over the world. Bron is in Australia.

    Rosa - what is your point about copying the information about the importance of a low carb diet from Dr. Lisa's website?

    Again, what do you think you should do?

    my reason for posting this is because they are on a raw diet- just organs, whole animal, heart, liver and kidneys, so its probable that she might just be regulated for a bit? is that common? like a cat can maintain a below 150 BG for all of their second cycle and then start rising again for their next one? (almost like the insulin worked 24 hours?)

    Ok.... she’s flat and hasn’t gone down further. After stalling this long, we would normally shoot the full dose and feed a good meal then test at +1 and +2.

    Here’s what you need to know: I am not able to stay up but will be here for the +1 so if you shoot, you will be on your own until (and if) Bron gets back.

    I will answer your other questions after we deal with this.

    Again, I will answer all your questions when we deal with her shot. Are you going to give her insulin? I can be here for +1; Christie can be here until +3. Bron might be back as well.

    Remember it’s not smart to skip when a cat has had DKA and she’s at a shootable number. She is not in remission at this time.

    ok. I was just answering your question about her being flat.

    Be sure you feed a few tsp of the highest low carb food you have. You need to test at +1 and +2,

    While you are feeding, I will answer your other questions.

    Mimi’s SS looks like many of the SSs here. Take time to look in other condos and look at other cats’ SSs. She does not look to me like an example of a cat that is doing what Dr. Lisa described.

    Here is a SS that is exactly what Dr. Lisa described:
    Scooter’s SS
    He was on dry and canned food. Look at his 2014 SS; his last day of dry was 4/28/2014.

    Many of our cats have not only had cycles of normal numbers but weeks and months. Look at Sienne’s Gabby’ SS and my Gracie’s SS. And here is a perfect example:
    China’s SS

    China was tightly regulated for years in normal numbers and never went into remission. I’m not saying Mimi won’t but I’m trying to show you there are cats that are in all normal numbers and still need insulin. Chris tried to take her off insulin and it didn’t work.

    There is no type 1 in cats. Sometimes we don’t know why our kitties become diabetic but it could be chronic, very low grade pancreatitis that we are not aware of.

    Please be sure and post a +1 BG here in her condo, ok?

    she might have issues with her Pancreas... She might have always had issues with it actually because when I first brought her to the holistic vet here, I told her how she's always had dandruff (as long as i can remember) and she said " her dandruff is greasy. In chinese medicine when we see that, its usually a sign of stress in the pancreas"

    Linda had more than one cat and had difficulty feeding separate meals but finally bit the bullet and stopped dry food. His blips into high numbers were from stealing kibble. He was in remission for a year before he passed away. His SS is also a good example of “once a diabetic, always a diabetic”. Any contraband food at all, and his BG shot up.

    Get a +1. If the +1 doesn’t have a food spike, you know she’s going to drop. Best to be on top of it since she was clearing another bounce.

    I hate taking her blood- and she’s really getting annoyed at me because I never get the amount of blood I need on the first prick. It’s stressing her out and I know that can make her sick all on its own. I ordered more test strips for freestyle lite- I’m going back to that one, the Relion requires too much damn blood and the freestyle was super easy- I barely needed blood. She’s also getting hard spots on her ears where I prick..

    Well I am glad I don’t even own kibble! My other cat never cared for it- the only thing he loves munching on is a leaf of spinach, lol.
    I let him eat it because he scoots his butt a lot and the vet said it’s because he’s not making soft enough stools

    Are you free handing? Warming her ear? Using a bit larger lancet right now like 28g? Making sure the bevel is up? Alternating the poke site? Using Neosoorin with pain relief? I always had a cool, wet baby wash cloth handy so as soon as the poke was done, I held it on Gracie’s ear to cool it and stop the bleeding. I gave her Arnica to prevent brushing and Ledum for pokes.

    I have a lancing device- I have the freestyle 29 g ones, but saw the 31 g relion brand and thought the thinner gauge would be less painful? I do warm the ear by rubbing it with my fingers- I also heat a rice pack in the microwave- that has helped.

    Excellent. Thank you. You’ll still need to get a +2. If you normally feed her at +1, it’s fine to give her LC.

    Christie and Bron will be in to stay with you all and I’m headed to bed.

    Great job shooting tonight. Remember you can back her shot time up by 30 mins a day so you can shoot 1/2 hour earlier tomorrow morning or 15 mins early in the morning and 15 early at night. I always thought shooting 30 mins early once a day was easiest.

    Good luck tonight and hope you all sleep well.

    You might want to try freehanding with the 29g.

    Coffee time!

    so the increase was good then- it meant her food spiked her enough?
    I don't feed her at +1, I usually do at +2 or 3. thanks again for your help!

    Mimis mom has to also make sure she stays healthy, otherwise who will take care of Mimi. I have sleep issues as it is, I try not to mess it up too much.

    do you mean just pricking her without the device? should I be pricking her right on that vein that runs along the edge of the ear or in-between the edge and the vein?

    I just picked up the polysporin with pain relief tonight and used it and I definitely see a difference in Freckles' reaction. Also, thanks to Marje's advice, I started free handing with the lancet instead of using the lancing device - which also made a huge difference - you don't have to push the lancet device down on the ear. All of Marje's suggestions have been very helpful and it's like I'm working with a different cat now. At the vet's office it took 4 of them every time to test when they did a glucose curve the very first time. Now at home, Freckles jumps up on the counter, gets rubs and loves, and was even purring tonight when I tested her. They definitely read your energy. If you are stressed out about it, they will as well. If you look at is a "no big deal" they are likely to follow suit - just like a kid!

    so free handing it meaning I just take the needle and poke right in- I tried that and she flinched every time I did- I don't think I have gauge as to how hard to. Vets need to get an entire semester on diabetes! I was fine actually when I was using a meter that took .3 and now Im doing one that does .5 and I didn't think that could be a difference but it is! so you put the polysporin on it before you shoot? what about neosporin- I have that- but it does have two additional antibiotics.

    Im so tired my eyes are crossing..

    Please don’t go to sleep Rosa. If you think you might then please set the alarm for a +2.

    You want to be quick and don’t hit the vein. That will hurt and it will bleed like crazy. Have you seen these Testing and Shooting Tips?

    Rosa, If you set the alarm to wake up to do a +4 test, would you wake up, or sleep through the alarm?

    I could wake up. I just fed her some of her raw. She has a scheduled raw feeding at 3:30 am with the auto feeder- will that affect the +4?

    No that is fine to feed her when she normally eats.
    OK, if you think you will wake up at +4, then I think you can have a sleep until then.
    Make sure you set the alarm.
    How does that sound?

    Sorry I didn’t see earlier. I think you are ok to sleep. Just leave her some food out. Make sure your other kitty can’t get it.
    Well done tonight Rosa.
