    Thanks, Diane ❤️ He started the day at 500 something and dropped slowly thru out the day ....I was in and out working outside ....never thot to feed him at the 127.... Tyler is much more predictable ....probably should have fed a little at each big drop...just so good to see him coming down ....sigh :oops:

    Ok just seeing this @Beth 73. I'd load him with MC now to keep him from dropping more and then we see what he's at PMPS.

    We're hanging in there. Got to go deal with SIL's Xmas decorations tomorrow. Waited all day for her to call me today and I'm exhausted just from the thought of dealing with her. Going to turn in earlier tonight to make it through the ordeal tomorrow. Her highness thought I should have trucked down to the locker today to get out her decorations without any help from her.:mad:

    Oh no, count to ten every time she aggravates you, the way it sounds though you will be counting non stop. The sooner you go the sooner you will be home. Do you just have to go and help her get them out of storage, or do you also have to help her do the tree and decorate inside and outside

    Beth explain to me , I was looking at Elmo's SS for last night, I do see the numbers in the green are a little different using a pet meter, the colors that are on top , know what I mean. Now if Elmo didn't drop below 50 tell me why did you keep testing until 3 am
    is it because of Elmo dropping so low and you just want to make sure he is safe.

    Yes, Diane , it’s cos he drops hard and doesn’t immediately respond to high carbs once he starts to drop, especially at night . During the day today I can let him go to the 50 cos easier to bring him up than at night. Color difference is cos I have to paint the bottom boxes myself cos my iPad doesn’t do it . Once Linda is back , if you don’t mind, we can have a talk ab last night here on your thread so you can learn from what she thinks too.:)

    Last night it took 2 1/2 hours of giving high carb 20 food every 30 minutes to keep him from tanking....high carbs tend to not phase him so I have to hit him early, more and higher than the average cat, especially at night...

    @Beth 73 OK I understand, he is a tough Kittie to deal with, I understand about coloring the boxes yourself what I meant the green range that is at the top of the as is different for a pet meter compared to a human meter

    I just went to Walmart and picked up the ReliOn Prime meter and 100 strips
    Now have to take Tubby in to see the vet, she hasn't seen him in a year, she wants to see him, so then she will have to give ADW the order for the U100 syringes half markings and I will tell her I already have 5 of the lantus pens. So once I get them I will switch @MrWorfMen's Mom

    Oh yes, Diane , ab different colors for human meter....my mind is blurred from 3 hours sleep then this marathon this AM...but I did suck it up and let him go low enough for the reduction he has been straining at for several days. This is part of his Custom Dosing. I think you will like the human meter...just have to put the AT out of your head ....I remember the transition for me and I just cold turkeyed it ...that’s what was easiest for me . If you have to do curves for vet you can use your AT and / or do a side by side for her .....Linda will know best on that score ....sure am praying that SIL behaves for her...that’s draining ....we shall hear all her tales later, I’m sure ❤️

    Well I survived the ordeal although I'm exhausted as usual. Arrived to find her wearing what looked like PJs but she claimed was "lounge wear", hair uncombed, and her mumbling about a "wart" behind her ear that burst and the bandaid on it being stuck in her hair. GEES! Support worker apparently took her to the doctor yesterday for it, is calling her to remind her to take antibiotics, but she purchased bandaids far too large for the area needing to be covered. Have to wonder what the support worker was thinking?!?:rolleyes::arghh: SIL's attention was on nothing other than her boo boo and took forever to put clothes on since I refused to go trucking outside her apt. with her looking so disheveled. When she got finally dressed (20 minutes), she had put on a sweater with a hole in it. I told her it needed to be thrown out. She told me Douglas (BF) had said the same thing and thrown it out but she took it back out of the garbage. Did I mention my SIL is a hoarder of sorts and refuses to throw out the most mundane of stuff and certainly not any clothing her Mother may have bought for her many many years ago no matter what shape it is in. It's battle royale to get her to part with anything. I guess it's time to go over and do yet another major purge.

    We managed to get all the Xmas stuff in one trip (thank goodness) but when we got back to the apt. and I was asking her what she needed me to do, she kept wandering around aimlessly looking for some blue garland for her tree that I seem to remember her looking for last year when we went through this ritual. Don't think it ever got found. She wanted to make another trip to the locker. I refused.

    I think the support worker must have helped her pack up the Xmas stuff last year and they didn't even bother to take several other garlands off the tree so it took forever to get the tree untangled so I could put it together for her.

    So having assembled her Xmas tree, 2 small lit up deer and stringing lights around her patio door, she then wanted me to decorate the top of her tree. I took the tree off the table (It's a 4 footer), put it on the floor and told her to decorate the top to her heart's content and then get the support worker to help her put it back on the table on Monday. Otherwise I would have been there forever. SIL has 3 speeds...slow, backwards and stop!

    It didn't help that the weather here is crap.... slippery sleet and I didn't want to be there any longer than necessary as the roads were getting worse.

    Got to go find food, ibuprofen or maybe a stiff drink. :rolleyes:

SIL has 3 speeds...slow, backwards and stop". :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful: You are a hoot :bighug: Tell me you have the day off from curling tomorrow ?!?!?

    Oh my lord, I am also laughing my butt off hearing about this, a wart behind her ear burst, I just can't lol and just picturing the large bandaid stuck in her hair. I can just picture you putting the tree on the floor and telling her to do the top herself, mission accomplished. You definitely have a way with words, I love it. Now go and relax and we will talk later

    Diane , I love how you check on us ❤️ Not sure ab testing ...probably will at least check at what would be his +2 ....it's been a strange 24 hours . As you have seen Elmo is a diver and a bouncer ...Linda says he's very unique in his response to insulin. He is not sensitive to carbs so it takes more and higher carbs to slow his dives and he can sky rocket suddenly . Just have to take it a day at a time . At least tonight I'll get some sleep . Hope you do too . :bighug:

    Well after a marathon phone call of 6 hours last night, I crashed and slept but I'm still pooped today and really have to go clean up some of the crap from Mother Nature's offering of yesterday before it freezes into a solid mass. Yes I have curling tonight but it will be an hour of curling and an hour of pizza for the Xmas party so not a lot of physical activity required. Trying to catch up on all the stuff I didn't get done yesterday, like laundry and litter boxes. Seems it never ends. :rolleyes:

    @MrWorfMen's Mom hey Linda just got back from the vets with Tyler
    Told her I got 5 lantus pens, the relion prime pet me and test strips she was all for it. ADW will contact her tomorrow to get the OK on them U-100 syringes half unit markings. I printed a crap load of material from the our forum , about everything , such as advice that has been given to us about dosing, the TR and SLGS protocol, everything that all of you know about because you have been doing it for many years. Even told her vets have joined the group. She said she could definitely read everything I gave her, that she would be very impressed. She also said she is call for lantus and her first choice would be to start her patients off on lantus first but because of the cost her patients would like to try the vetsulin first. She is fine with the human meter also. So as soon as I get the syringes I will be ready to go.
    I won't drive you crazy when we switch and see the different numbers to go by, but you will be there to help me I know. Please please please lol.
    I have been with her for many many years and is always willing to work with me thank god. Just wanted to let you know. Did blood woirk tonight since its been over a year and did a fructosamine test for the first time which he had never had done @MrWorfMen's Mom

    I like your vet. She's keeper! The fructosamine I expect will come back in the Good if not Excellent control range but I admit to be being a skeptic of fructosamine tests because I was once told Menace was in good control when she was anything but by my daily readings.....no where near what Tyler's numbers are! Never bothered with the test again.

    Of course I will be there to help out but on the Lantus forum, you will find there are a lot more "supporters" not only to help but also to cheer you on.

    I'm excited to se what your little ginger boy will do on Lantus. He's been so very good on Vetsulin. Poster child if ever there was one. :D

    She said this would be the only fructosamine test she will ever do. I know there will be many supporters on the lantus forum but I love you, I know at times you may not be available and that's OK, I trust the other supporters will know as much as you do about dosing, etc. Its not that I don't think they know as much as you do, I guess it's because you have been with me from the start and know how Tyler is.
    I am going to request priority shipping for the syringes so I can get them in 2-4 days
    Gotta admit a little nervous with the human meter and learning about the BG for it. When I get them you said you would change the different reference range for the colors on top of the SS. I see it would be just the dark green and light green correct
    Also I guess we would have to change that I have switched to lantus and human meter on the SS. I am sure I can change it on my signature, if there is room.I hope I can fit it all in, I know you said it will only take about 3 lines . Then make a new SS for 2020. I feel like I am asking you to do so much for me and feel terrible about it, I truly hope you don't mind @MrWorfMen's Mom

    Tyler can be stressed out but you? LOL! Seriously though I get it. No fun taking the furry ones to the vets!

    No problem making the changes to the spreadsheet and your signature can be shortened too by making the link to the spreadsheet "Tyler's SS" instead of that long string. We'll get it done. :D

    @MrWorfMen's Mom I have no idea what's going on lol, will be getting the new syringes in 2-4 days, I can't wait. Tyler weighed in at 20 lbs last night, so he lost 3 lbs, took forever, but vet wants him down to at least 15 or 16 which I already knew
    She even carried Tubby into the car for me, I had bought a really nice soft carrier for them last year, even put a piece of thin wood on the bottom of it, then a nice cushion so between the carrier and him it weighs a ton, and my vet is a tiny little thing
    Oh she just called with Tyler's blood work, said everything is Perfect. I told her that you said she is a keeper, she laughed and said thank you. She said when I start the lantus just email her Tyler's numbers after being on the lantus for awhile.
    I am down to 4 Alpha Trak strips, so looks like I will have to start using the human meter soon, a little nervous, I will give you a heads up when I need to start using
    it so you can change the spread sheet to read using Relion Prime now, and my signature. How was the pizza party on Sunday. Crappy weather today has freezing rain this morning, just really raw out. I miss talking to you Lady @MrWorfMen's Mom

    Sounds like as of tomorrow at the latest you will have to start using the Relion. Correct? Best to start with the new meter on a new day rather than in the middle of a day.

    Glad to hear Tyler's bloodwork was all good. Now to work on his waistline! ;)

    I have to run out and do some errands and don't want to because it's too darn cold here too but it's supposed to get even colder tomorrow. At least it's supposed to warm up a bit again by the weekend. I hate winter!

    I just checked Tyler's SS and I gave you ownership so I can't edit anymore. I'm sending you a PM to give me back editing rights so I can make the necessary changes for 2020 and the new meter.

    @MrWorfMen's Mom yes I see it, you did it, so all we have to change is to say when I start Lantus, and tell me how to put the previous day on the lantus thread, and to shorten my signature so we can fit changing from vetsulin to lantus and from AT2 to human meter Relion prime you genius you look thank you so much, you know how much I appreciate it @MrWorfMen's Mom

    I started the new sheet as of tomorrow so that the meter switch is all on the new year sheet and will give you a little 2019 and Vetsulin history on it too.

    The rest of the stuff in the signature can be changed when you switch to Lantus although it would be good to change the meter. You can do that tomorrow by just replacing "AT2" with "Relion Prime".

    You are going to do great , Diane :bighug: You will love the Relion ... I found it an easy switch from the AT as long as I didn't try to analyze the numbers . Decided the Relion was now my meter and what it said was what it was . I had to switch a few weeks into this round from The Relion Confirm ( discontinued) to the Relion Prime and it was making a decision that I now use a Prime and that's that .

    @MrWorfMen's Mom hey Linda this might be the dumbest question I have asked you, don't know why I'm getting confused, tomorrow morning I will use the human meter, do I shoot the same amount of vetsulin that I've been shooting @MrWorfMen's Mom

    The meter doesn't change the amount of insulin but the reading you get tomorrow AM will in all likelihood be lower than you are used to. I'd love to be able to tell you what number to expect but I can't. There are too many variables involved to predict it and there is no conversion. Unless he happens to have one of his low pre-shot mornings, I don't think you'll need to adjust the insulin but let's just see where he's at in the AM.

    Don't know if you saw where I told you I did see how you fixed the SS. Should get the syringes in 2-4 days. Will add to my signature that I switched to lantus , hope there will be room or like you said

    Nothing exciting today. Got some errands done so I don't have to venture out tomorrow unless it snows except to put out garbage in the AM. Still got the remainder of some ice on the driveway from the sleet and crap the other day and may have to run out for more salt but I think it can wait till Thursday or Friday. Going to have to start some Xmas shopping anyway. :rolleyes: I hate shopping and especially Xmas shopping so I always procrastinate.

    I hate shopping also, to be honest I don't Christmas shop anymore.
    I might by something small for Ashley. Going to get something for my sister since we have to go there a lot, just to show my appreciation, we stopped exchanging gifts a long time ago. Will get something small for my dad and that's about it.
    Are you sure I'm not driving you crazy with this switch to lantus, I really feel bad with all the questions and asking you to help with the SS and shortening my signature @MrWorfMen's Mom

    I think Lantus is going to be a good move and helping with the other stuff is nothing. Don't worry about it. We'll get you going and you'll get the hang of it in no time. :D

    Diane, as you can see the numbers look very much lower on the human meter and there is no way to know what that might have been on the pet meter so as long as you have strips and higher carb food around, let's try 0.5u this morning and see what Tyler does. I'd get a test at +2 and don't be surprised if Tyler is in the green.

    @MrWorfMen's Mom hey Linda just a question, even though I used a human meter today and still using Vetsulin why did we lower the dose, what would have happened if I did give the 0.75 skinny without the pre shot reading. So it does make a difference if you use a human meter. Hope you understand what I'm getting at @MrWorfMen's Mom

    Diane, Tyler has pre-shot numbers that most folks could/would not shoot with Vetsulin. Because the human meter reads lower and the difference gets progressively wider the higher BG is, we can't guess what this morning's BG would have been on the pet meter. I suggested erring on the side of caution until we get a handle on the little guy. Tyler often had pre-shots that were high normal or just above on the pet meter and while Tyler doesn't dive on the Vetsulin like a lot of cats do, with Vetsulin, we also don't want him dropping to the edge of low normal so better to back the dose down a smidge until we get a "feel" for how he's reacting based on the human meter readings.
    Normal range on the human meter is 50 to 120. On the pet meter it was 68 to 150 (175 per IDEXX).
