Sorry for not posting the last few days. Been so busy!

Angel has been doing great. I think she is finally starting to level out on the Lantus.

We increased this morning since we haven’t seen any greens in 6 cycles and she’s been flat yellow for 4 cycles now. Bf will keep an eye on her today while I’m at work.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

Good luck with the dosecrease. I hope it brings some green.

 

Have a good day at work.

Ms. Angel - time to show us what you can do on the 2.5U. Give mama some green!!

 

Enough of all those yellows Angel, time for a different color...

 

Work that juice Angel !!

 

Good work increasing today. Hopefully the extra juice will help bring her down a bit.

 

C'mon Angel down a bit on the new juice amt. give mom a surprise when she gets home.

 

Why is she going higher on an increase? :/

 

It's called New Dose Wonkiness . Some cats get it, some don't and will resolve in a few cycles.

 

Also remember it can take up to 6 cycles for the depot to fill

 

She crashed dropped more than 200 in 2 hours. Down to 56. Acting starving.

 

Have you given her any food? (Since shot time) you may want to give her to higher carbs to help.

(Also, did you do a second test? Sometimes test stripes are wonky too)

 

Yes and yes. She’s 46 now.

 

What kind of carbs did you give? This now calls for some HC

Now now Angel. You're point is made.

 

Do I already reduce back to 2.25u now?

 

16% on dr Lisa’s chart.

 

Congrats on the reducie! The dosecrease didn't last long.

 

IMO, yes. I would take the reduction. Others may chime in with diff advice.

 

Seems like 2.5 is too much and 2.25 is not enough.

 

It could be 2.25u just didn't have enough time to work for Angel. Some cats need more than 6 cycles to see if it a dose works. 6 is the baseline, but ECID is always rule. =/ i wish there was a better answer.

 

So hold 2.25 for longer unless we start getting flat pinks or higher ?

 

Well, I'd definitely go back down to 2.25u, but how long to hold is not something I can answer. Others may pop in and give more sound advice.

 

Hi! I looked at the SS and I see that she did bounce from the greens on 2.25u. You held for 6 cycles. It's recommended that you hold for 8-10 cycles after seeing a green to let the cat break the bounce. Try 2.25u and hold for a bit. When you need dosing advice, ask before doing a dosecrease.

 

Eeek. Didn’t know that rule. Darnit.

 

Have you gotten another test in yet?

 

Thanks for taking the time to look over my SS! We will be going back down to 2.25.

 

+5 70

 

Good!

What do guys normally put out for snacks? Just asking because its usually advised to hold off food for 1-2 after kitty is out of "danger" zone. (But I hate messing with my kittys snacks. He gets grumpy.)

She may also be starting her bounce - which will def happen after that drop.

 

She gets her 2 meals at 5pm and 5am and she gets her daytime snack at 11am and her PM snack anytime from 7-11 (whenever she asks for it basically). She just had her snack to get her numbers up so if she stays good we don’t intend to feed her any more tonight. She gets 3 3oz cans of wet food each day. Sometimes 3.5 if she’s really hungry.

 

Thanks for the help! Going to bed. Bf will monitor tonight and wake me if she starts dropping again.

 

It's not a "rule" but if you know the cat is bouncing, the 6 cycles rule doesn't always apply.

The biggest thing here is "Know Thy Cat." What works for one cat may not work for a different cat.

 

This is not accurate. You want to give the kitty time to break the bounce. Sometimes it takes up to 6 cycles or sometimes more or less. Angel is not new to green numbers so you did fine increasing. Sometimes they are just cats and let us know sooner rather then later. Angel decided she didn't want the increase. Hopefully she does better on 2.25u this time.

 

She’s a bouncy girl today
