07/17 Mowgli AMPS 340 PMPS 250 +2 65 +2.5 45 +3 54 +3.5 63 +4.5 112 +5.5 209

[Chubba (GA)]

He is back up into safe numbers. I would probably go HC, but MC might be alright also. He is close to 50 and still pretty early in cycle.

ETA - retest 30 min. I might be telling you to test to often, but I was always a worrier.

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

remember, I'm still a newbie, what worked for me was LC food with several drops of honey mixed in -- the food to carry him a while, the honey to give him a quick boost but it wears off quickly too

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Is his appy good? I'd feed some MC just one more time, then test again in 1/2 hour, past feed of HC can wear off quickly.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

You'll want two hours consecutive without intervention at safe numbers. Since he is above 50 no need for karo or honey.

 

[AmandaE]

I fed 1tsp meat and gravy MC, his appetite is very good right now! Will test at +3.5

Thanks all!

 

[AmandaE]

+3.5 63,

should I try switching him to LC to steer him along or stay with the MC? will test again at +4

 

[Ti-Mousse (GA) Pepe (GA)]

I kept watching you go! So many good advices! Let's go Mowgli, come up and be safe!

 

[Chubba (GA)]

He is heading in the right direction. I would test again around +4.5 or +5 when the HC food wears off.
I would use LC food at this point.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

I'd go with the LC, and given he's on his way up, I think you can wait to test in an hour now.

 

[Chubba (GA)]

It’s nearing midnight, so I’m going to sign off soon. Remember to test 2 hours after the food wears off just to confirm he is safe before calling it a night.

 

[AmandaE]

Thanks Lyane! this is Mowgli's first time in the bright greens! I thought of a little while ago when you started giving Ti his shots in the side, and alll of the sudden: BOOM in the shark tank! I am so thankful that Mowgli reacts to carbs

 

[Christie & Maverick]

@Chubba (GA) nice to see you around, just like the old days

Thanks, so much for sticking with me through this, I really appreciate it! Sweet dreams

Ok! I will wait the full hour before another test, poor Mowgli's ears!! Although I have to say... I think hes really getting the impression that pokes = tasty tasty meals

 

[Sonia & Leo]

Hi Amanda, I see you're going to need a lot of coffee again tomorrow.

 

[Chubba (GA)]

@Chubba (GA) nice to see you around, just like the old days

I’ve always been lurking. Never could give it up. Just getting back to posting. Nice to see Mav’s photo again.

 

[AmandaE]

@Chubba (GA) nice to see you around, just like the old days

So grateful that You guys could have some nostalgia while helping me out!! I am totally benefiting from the reunion

 

[Christie & Maverick]

When the dust settles, Amanda, don't forget to keep track on your SS of the carbs/timing of snacks, for future reference. It helps so you don't over carb next time, or under carb

 

[AmandaE]

Hi Amanda, I see you're going to need a lot of coffee again tomorrow.

I will be SUCH a zombie at work tomorrow!!

 

[AmandaE]

Definitely! I'm picking away at it now

 

[Christie & Maverick]

I'll check back in with you one more time, I have to go see what Mav's numbers are doing now

 

[Perry & Jenn]

Oh my gosh, you and Mowgli are on quite the roller coaster here, Amanda! You're going to need a barrel of coffee tomorrow.

 

[AmandaE]

I'll check back in with you one more time, I have to go see what Mav's numbers are doing now

Thanks so much Christie! you've been a total lifesaver

 

[AmandaE]

Or you know... an IV drop!

This about sums it up:

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Thanks so much Christie! you've been a total lifesaver

Anytime, glad to help. You were doing pretty awesome, and had it covered , but I always found it was nice to have a few friends poke their noses in.

Where is the wine and chocolate?

 

[Sonia & Leo]

Nice! Don't get the chips and the ff mixed up, lol

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

see you in the morning -- -- I'll be up and on for at least another hour, hoping that Catcat doesn't throw me greens ASAP

 

[Ti-Mousse (GA) Pepe (GA)]

Nice to see everything went well; you had wonderful coaches!
Too bad it's not Saturday tomorrow....

 

[Crista & Ming]

Yikes! That's a huge drop!

I'd still test in an hour just to be safe if you can. But that is going to trigger quite the bounce tomorrow.

 

[AmandaE]

Where is the wine and chocolate?

OMG WINE!!! who AM I and what was I thinking!? I spent my time making greek chicken burgers for supper tomorrow I should have had the wine locked and loaded... I'll have to put a bottle in my hypo kit LOL

 

[AmandaE]

Nice! Don't get the chips and the ff mixed up, lol

LOL OMG!!! can you IMAGINE!!!!

 

[AmandaE]

Anytime, glad to help. You were doing pretty awesome, and had it covered , but I always found it was nice to have a few friends poke their noses in.

It's so true, it really makes a huge difference, just to have a second opinion or to know someone with more experience has their eyes on you

 

[AmandaE]

see you in the morning -- -- I'll be up and on for at least another hour, hoping that Catcat doesn't throw me greens ASAP

Bright and early eh!? I will be up at least another hour too, I'm going to grab a +4.5 and a +5.5

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

any of you with a little time, check the main forum, there's a newbie there that needs more help than I can offer, she's from Australia

 

[AmandaE]

Yikes! That's a huge drop!

Right!? What does Mowgli have to prove anyway?!.
He was really digging food with gravy... I hope He doesn't realize that this is a method that will guarantee he gets his way

 

[AmandaE]

+4.5 = 112, I think the food combined with his typical cycle is showing that he is solidly on the way up, I will grab a +5.5 before I head to bed

 

[Christie & Maverick]

Sheesh...saw your +4.5...don't bother with +5.5, looks like Mowgli is saying good night!

 

[Christie & Maverick]

+4.5 = 112, I think the food combined with his typical cycle is showing that he is solidly on the way up, I will grab a +5.5 before I head to bed

Ok, if you are still awake, but you can give him a pokie break if you'd like

 

[AmandaE]

Nice to see everything went well; you had wonderful coaches!
Too bad it's not Saturday tomorrow....

You're so right! It was such a relief to have everyone here, I am so thankful!!

I wish Wish WISH it was Saturday tomorrow... We aren't even CLOSE!!! (to me... tomorrow is close )

 

[AmandaE]

Ok, if you are still awake, but you can give him a pokie break if you'd like

I have a couple things to wrap up in the kitchen ... turns out meal prep is not easy to clean as you go along if you are also obsessing over your diabetic cat

Thanks again to you, such a relief to have you, @Chubba (GA) and @JeffJ here checking in on me, as well as all of the other members who followed along. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

suspect we can both relax -- Catcat's +3 = 185 after a preshot at 281 -- he's probably dropped enough that he'll stay in the middle blues

thank goodness for the Lantus depot -- if this were vetsulin I'd be up a while

 

[AmandaE]

Awesome! I'm glad you wont have to stay up either! I started with Mowgli on Caninsulin! I found it just so stressful, I had to get up SO early just to make sure he would eat and the possibility of force feeding was always hanging over my head... for my schedule... NOT a fan!

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

same here, even though I'm retired, I have to remember I'm officially an old lady (don't feel that way except when I'm tired)

do need my sleep, with Catcat getting me up around 5 AM after bedtime around 10:30, I wind up falling asleep inadvertently for a couple of hours in the afternoon

as my former mother in law used to say, I "slept my brain into train oil" ...

 

[JeffJ]

It's nice to have that "barely lime green" for the first hypo. Looking good. I'm not going to stay on after this - I'm "Tucker'ed" out from this morning.

Catcat is looking good, no reason to stay up there.

For Mowgli, we don't want to get too relaxed. We have seen low value, then blue, then low value - in different cats. The 2 hour rule listed by Chubba - is a very good rule to remember with these lime green situations.

Thanks for sticking by Jeff!

I am planning to grab the +5.5 which will be 3 hours from our 45, each hour after the 45 went up. So if he's still on the way up (which I would be surprised if he isn't preparing a bounce) then I will head to bed.

Have a great sleep

LOL I have NEVER heard that one!! I really like it

 

[CandyH & Catcat]

mother in law from Cardross in Scotland -- (near Glasgow) -- ex-DH one of the "Boeing imports". brought over from Hunting Aircraft for wing design on the SST that never got built -- people tell me I still have a burr in my voice, though most would guess I'm from Canada .. NOPE -- strictly west coast USA starting in Oregon, with short unfortunate sojourn in Oklahoma

 

[Sonia & Leo]

I'm "Tucker'ed" out from this morning.

LOL, good one Jeff!

 

[Sonia & Leo]

G'night all, sweet dreams.

G'night all, sweet dreams.

Night Sonia!!
