23 Dec : Tyler & M AMPS=151 : +4=49 : +4.5=68 : = +5.5=76: +9=16: +6 : PMPs=304: +2=239: +7=189

Start this day at blue. Feed Iams grain free today. Shift schedule by 15 mins.

Yesterday condo

 

That NS didn't affect Tyler much!

 

+4=49 !

I'm feeding food now.

 

Don't feed too much, just a couple tsp of higher carb. You want him to be hungry if you need him to be later.

Congrats on the reduction.

 

Oh, and test again 20-30 minutes after he eats.

 

 This happened so quickly after that NS.

Congratulations!

 

OK . Whipped the rest up from under his nose.
I had to use the renal wet which is quite high carb.

I didn't do anything though @Wendy&Neko . We forgot a dose night before last.

 

The fact that he went low, in spite of a skip, definitely means 2.0 units is too much. 1.75 is next.

You want that test again soon to make sure you've stopped the drop.

 

Will do. Thanks.

@Mandy & Rex . Is it a good thing then?
Looks flipping well scary to me.

 

Plus 4 + 35 mins = 68 . Going up. He ate maybe two good teaspoon size of a mix of his Iams gran free & some wet renal as I know that has more carbs.

So check again in an hour?

The meter gave me a heart stop by refusing to turn on for a moment.
*Thinks* Back up meter as part of emergency kit.

...edit.. Oh and to think , the vet was suggesting a dose increase based on the BG& urine test at the clinic, until the fructosamine test came in as reduced numbers.

 

Congrats on the reduction!!!

 

Thank you.
He's on his way up. So pleased we were at home.
Just have to figure out how to give this reduction as the needles don't do halves , let alone quarters.

 

Try and eye ball it the best you can. Are you able to get syringes with 1/2 unit markings?

 

Wow congrats! How I did small doses when I didnt have half unit markings - I would fill the syringe to 1u (I actually used the insulin) - then squeezed out the drops and counted how many were in 1u. so say there are 4 drops in 1u then 0.5u would be 2 drops. Fill to 1u and squeeze out 2 drops and you have your half unit. same with a quarter unit. If 1u is 4 - squeeze out three for 0.25u. Works for me.

Looks like Silver is having an active night so I will be up late too.

 

I don't know if you can say it's a good thing about the lime green shortly after a NS. But it's a good thing you caught it and could monitor for a while.

 

So. Just tips the pink at PMPS. Shot was 1.75 as suggested because of the lime green .

 

PMPS+7 is blue in the wee small hours
