Yesterday

Last night she was green for a few hours and starts off blue this morning. Hoping for good day today.

 

Keep up the good work Olive Paws crossed for another beautiful cycle today.

 

Hope so Karen. I'm having a late start. Went btb and didn't get up until +4. I have so much to do today.

 

Wow ... look at Olive go! No shark hunting, please.

 

Viewing the sharks from a distance.

 

From her surf board

Very nice!

 

She is with the sharks, in uncharted territory for her.

 

Olive, please head back closer to the shore! Of course she picks a day when you have lots of things to get done to visit the sharks. Oh our sugar babies and their timing!

 

I hope Olive comes back up and surfs a little higher.

 

Timing is everything. But all the stuff I need to do is at home so it's not to bad.

 

Oh Olive, I said no shark hunting today. They must have just been to tempting. Please come back to safety.

 

I had to do a double take, Olive with the sharks? What!

Green is nice, Olive, but those sharks are not.

 

She is handling this very well. Alert active really liking the extra fuds. Coming up slow on 6% carbs. Maybe I need to change to 12%???? I don't want to sky rocket her to the moon.

 

IKR!!! I guess she has finally decided to trade in the tutus for the bikinis.

 

It’s all a learning curve on the carbs. So far so good, just make notes so you can look back if need be. Surf now Olive

 

+7=63. Holding the food to see if she will climb on her own (probably to the summit).

 

Olive is back on her board. Totally skipped the 70s & 80s, guess she isn't a disco kitty. So I open the new cat litter and this brand comes with a free mouse toy. Toy is cute and soft but it's ears are covered in sequins. To me that's a choke hazard. So I spend next hour cutting the sequins off, and PJ is the one who claimed the toy. She is flipping it, dropped it in the water bowl, carrying it around the room. She is having a ball with it.

 

My guess is she hit those 70’s/ 80’s before +5. Nice surfing Olive. Enjoy the new toy PJ

 

WOW look at those numbers!!
Did Olive earn a reducie today?

 

Good question. She is not long term, so if I read Tilly's correctly Olive has to have a low of 40-50 on 3 separate days before reducies.

Experts correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I think for a recent diabetic it is 1 number under 50. For long-term diabetics it is 3 (on separate days). If she goes into the 30s it's an automatic reduction. I always use discretion when considering whether to do a reduction, but since Olive is recently diagnosed, I think your best bet is to follow the protocol.

Surf safe, Olive! I'm up on the beach, but I've got my eye on you and LagoonMeisterin China and the deputies will make sure you are OK. Now, come down from that bounce!

Yes I agree with Ella, it's 1 number under 50 for a recent diabetic.
Congratulations Olive; I believe that's your first reducie!

 

This is where I got the reduction info of nadir 40-50 on 3 separate days.

Phase 4: Reducing the dose
When the cat regularly has its lowest BGs in the normal range of a healthy cat and stays under 100 mg/dl overall for at least one week, attempt to reduce the dose. Alternatively, if the nadir glucose concentration is 40 - <50 mg/dl at least three times on separate days, try lowering the dose. If the cat drops below 40 mg/dl once, reduce the dose immediately! The reduction is done very slowly in a step-by-step manner (0.25 or 0.5 IU increments). At each newly reduced dose, try to make sure the cat is still stable in the normal range before reducing the dose further.

If I reduce in morning should I reduce by 0.25? I don't think she will hold reduction, but you never know.
