Thank you for your comments. Because of Livvy's brain tumor and delicacy, we are not following TRP. For the past few days, the tests that I've done...
AMPS and PMPS have been ~250. Seems high, not low/hypo. +4 has been ~120-150. Not low. Maybe her nadir is at +2 or +6...??? Maybe somigy? I have a...
Ok, this makes sense and is helpful. Thank you.
Our poor cat Livvy has been on insulin since about mid-April. She's an older cat, and she has other complications (possible meningioma on her right...
Thanks for this explanation. This is the first time I've heard about the batch testing of the AT strips. Now I finally understand the reason for...
Interesting. Like others on this board, I bought Freestyle Lite strips and tested them against the AT strips (with control solution and using the...
Ok, I understand perfectly - I can barely remember what I had for breakfast. Thanks for commenting!
Oh, dear. I can imagine all sorts of things that could go wrong and which would make having a backup meter a good idea. I went through a far...
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's not easy going with multiple conditions, is it? Shoot, it's not easy with one! Luckily, Livvy is probably...
Thanks so much. This is very clear and helpful. We'll shoot for geeens and low blues. It's good to hear confirmation that a conservative approach...

We're working hard to get our little Livvy feeling as healthy as possible. Her diabetes has paled in comparison to the fact that she likely has a...
Yay! I've been there - very recently- shaking and scared when learning to do a BG test on our Livvy. So I can empathize, and sincerely congratulate...
I knew w that this is an old thread, but I'm having this same trouble with bubbles in the Solostar cartridge. I use a syringe to draw the insulin...
So glad that you found something that works.we may indeed have to make a change for Livvy. I feel so bad - took me three ear pricks tonight to get...
Thanks for your message, Tanya. This is really helpful. I'm so sorry about the hypo that you and your kitty went through. How terrifying. After...
P.S., I understand that it is recommended to use a human meter for the TR protocol. We just bought our Alpha Trak II three days ago, and I'm...
Right now, I try to give Livvy enough time to finish her meal before injecting. I have noted that some people wait only until their kitty has eaten a...
The vet guided us that if she eats nothing, not to give insulin. If she eats very little, give 1.5u. If she eats a full portion, give 3u. This begs...
This is a terrific resource. It's already gotten us so far! We're testing at home now, thanks to this forum. I feel hopeful about Livvy's potential...
