The Ultramarathon Part 16

http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/the-ultramarathon-part-15.169863/

AMPS was 17.9. I gave him 2.6 u.

 

BG at +5 was 19.7.

 

PMPS was 20.6. I'll give 2.6 u tonight and raise tomorrow AM. Teasel might have his own ideas ...

 

Never a dull moment with Teasel, is there?

 

AMPS was 15.2. I gave him 2.8 u. He and Hermione are equally dull ...

 

PMPS was 20.1. I'll give 2.8 u again.

 

AMPS was 16.7. I gave him a fat 2.8 u.

 

PMPS was 15.8. Another fat 2.8 u tonight.

 

Looks like he's starting to slide towards better numbers - fingers crossed he keeps heading that way!

 

AMPS was 10.4 . He's "Teaseling" me! I gave a fat 2.8 u in the scruff. Not sure if doing this has any positive effect but it's data ...

 

He is the ultimate "there are no stinking patterns" kitty......

 

BG at +4 was 4.9. Love the green but I think I see the trampoline around the corner ...

 

Bg at +6 was 5.0. He was fed a small lunch of his regular low carb Friskies 2 hours ago.

 

When I said "starting to slide towards better numbers" what I should have said was "jumping off the cliff to better numbers"

 

Yes!! But, of course, those springs on his feet are still there so I know what'll happen when he touches down.

BG at +8 was 7.3.

 

PMPS was 14.4. Will give fat 2.8 u again.

 

Teasel had a real good day yesterday!! Hopefully he will not bounce right up again!!

 

Yesterday was beautiful! Hope he continues this way

 

Thanks for checking in Fabienne! How is Terry?

 

Answer below ...

 

AMPS was 23.8. Not surprised. I increased a tiny bit to 2.9 u just because he was sitting stagnant in pinks for so many days before yesterday's surprise. Experimenting, not dosing a bounce number. Will give a small snack before I have to leave at +3.

 

Ahh Teasel...he just has to keep life interesting.

 

Giving his ears a bit of a break today - except for the essential PS testing.

 

Ug, back up the wrong way. Well, here's hoping the New Year brings better numbers for everyone!

 

I'd be more surprised if he went down and stayed down.

 

PMPS was 15.0. Gave him 2.9 u again.

 

AMPS was 20.7. I gave him 3 u.

 

BG was 7.6 at +4.5. Gave him his lunch a bit earlier - regular low carb food. Will test later.

 

Go Teasel! Bring in the New Year with great numbers!

 

PMPS was 5.3. Decided to skip shot rather than stall +++.

 

AMPS was 24.7 - no surprise. I dropped his dose to 2.6 u in case of extra sensitivity. New 2017 SS is now up.

 

Happy New Year, Kris!

 

Same to you, Sharon!

 

Have you worked with snacks to try to even out his cycles, Kris? It might take a curve to see when he starts to drop (usually) and again when he is generally lowest. So, give him part of his meal at preshot and then a little bit more early in the cycle and a little bit more at nadir? He doesn't seem to be a kitty who reacts wildly to food so it might flatten things out? I know he is very unpredictable, and you have him in generally very good numbers, but it might be a way to manipulate the cycle's up and downs a little?

Happy New Year!

 

Thanks, Sue. Yes, I've thought of that and have used snacks occasionally to control an anticipated drop after he's thrown a low number in a previous cycle. He always gets his lunch (a smaller meal) around nadir so that's covered during the day time. Where I can change it up a bit is between his breakfast and lunch or after his evening meal.

I can't really use an autofeeder with him because I have three kitties, Teasel's sister who needs hypoallergenic wet food, his brother who has a tendency toward "fluffiness" and Teasel himself. I know about the electronic chip feeders but that could get hopelessly complicated with three cats on three different dietary regimens. I'm all about balance in this game.

 

You know, I've wanted to try those electronic chip feeders. I actually thought it would be nice to have a little electronic chip "house" for my cats...like a little cage with a door controlled by the chip. Then I could put food in there to keep them from being freaked out by a moving bowl (because I think they would be) and maybe even a litter box so I know for sure who is going how much. Haven't found anything like that out there, but it's a nice thought.

Happy New Year, Kris!

 

Wouldn't that be a great device! Happy New Year, Rachel!

 

BG was 19.3 at +5.

 

PMPS was 17.7. He'll get 2.6 u again tonight. Will start giving a small bedtime snack.
