I am glad you can get some good data today. And snacks too! He must think it is Christmas all over again!

How you feeling today Juliet? How was physio?

You know, the data is the same I manage to get every week. I really do think I should have increased last week. Holding had no purpose except bring his numbers higher. Increasing to 2.25 tomorrow. I do a curve every weekend so nothing new. He didn’t finish his snack. He really doesn’t want more food than his usual twice a day feeding.

I’m pretty sore and very exhausted. Lying on the couch and just getting up to test Silver. Thanks for asking :).

Not surprised at that at all. Physio days was the worse on DH. He would sleep all afternoon after. Make sure to rest and get some good nutrition in! Stretch to keep those muscles loose!

I will leave the dose increase discussion for the experts. I think he looks better overall, those reds though...makes me think he may have seen blue.

I already made the decision to increase.
 
That's the first time I've seen a lower PMPS than at +8. I didnt get a +10 as I fell asleep and was presuming he was on the way up now after the +8 was higher than +6. Was fully expecting pink at PMPS. Anyone know why they might go lower again?

Lantus has a known double dip effect, doesn't happen with all cats, all the time, but it's a known thing. It happens to Asia rather frequently, you can see it in her SS. As long as the second dip number is higher than nadir, it's probably this.
 
The idea of the food is that not only does it help if he goes low while you are gone, is that that digestion process is engaged and hopefully "poke" the pancreas and system to come to life and work again - like a normal body. So while the insulin helps keep kitty lower and help repair the damage (glucose toxicity from what I understand of it) the act of normal eating can help things along as well.

Now that doesn't always work in all kitties and all cats don't have the same eating patterns.

You might have to split his daily portion over your planned meal times. I am sure you will figure it out when you can. Just make sure to take care of yourself during your recovery period. Physio is an energy sucker!
 
Personally I think this is glucose toxicity. The insulin has done absolutely nothing today. His numbers have stayed the same all day. Well at least we know we can safely increase tomorrow. Been over a week since he even saw a blue.
