? Baby at 44

Already syringed fed Karo & some temptation treats- now 51. How often do I need to keep checking her? This is +5. Noticed she kept laying down.

 

I would check in 15 min, give more high carb if needed

 

Yes-- every 15-20. If she's over 50, hold off on more food and see if she can hold the numbers on her own (but it's OK if you feed that 51-- it's very close!).

How many hours since you shot? [edit: whoops, saw that you said, +5]

 

Apologies for missing the time on the previous message.

Anyway, +5 is pretty well into the cycle, but you may have a few more hours where you need to be vigilant. All stocked up with strips, HC food, etc?

 

Ok I’ll check again in 10! Whew! Thanks for help. It was probably a full tbsp of Karo. About 15 temptations...

 

Great job and noticing something was different with her

 

Yes stocked up! I watch her like a hawk! Especially on days like this! She was around 186 this am & I shot a 1 instead of 1.5. Too much I guess...

 

Thanks again!

 

Prepare for liftoff! (let's hope!)

If she needs more of a boost after this, only feed a few of the temptations, and Karo (just a tsp) only if she's below 40. The reason: you don't want to fill her up too much in case you need to do this for a while, and too much of a good thing (esp. the Karo) can make them throw up, which you definitely don't want happening just now.

 

OMG! What is Baby thinking!? You’re getting close to the usual nadir time so fingers crossed she levels out.

 

How is she now Becky?

 

Now at 86.. should I still keep it up till when? Testing..

 

Test in 30. If she's still up, test in another 30. If you can get a couple good food-free tests in a row (this doesn't count because she was fed HC just prior), she should be safe!

 

You never know bout these sugar kitties!
I’m in tears! You guys help so much by just being here!!

 

Just so I know Kris and Nan, treating hypo the same no matter the type of insulin right?

 

Ok will do! I know it could drop again... 30 minutes

 

Becky you did great!! You did the most important first giving Karo and treats and then 911 on here, awesome awesome job, you got this

 

You should know Baby isn’t going to let you take a nap

 

Oh sweet! Thanks for answering me! Grateful tears!

 

no naps today! For her either & this is her nap time! She’s hiding now- stinker

 

You're doing fantastic!!! And you've got time for her to get over her little huff over the pokes. She's probably mad because now she knows there are Temptations around and she didn't get any on the last poke!

More or less, but I think there are some different "traditions" that have become established on the different ISGs that change things like what I just posted (how to determine "all clear"). Some situations (early in the cycle, large depot with the depot insulins, especially fast drop with a harsher insulin like Vetsulin or Novalin) also require more forceful measures, so recommendations are somewhat dependent on that kind of thing.

 

Yes now she knows I’ve been hiding those! She’s at the door wanting outside! She’s running away from home!! Lol she did so good!

 

Yes. The difference with Lantus is that sometimes the low numbers can go on a bit longer. It varies with the kitty.

 

She’s at 122 now!

 

Should I skip insulin tonight? Or test & procede as usual? 1/2 dose? I know the last one back in Sept. I didn’t give any for 24 hrs but that was the bad vet. What’s that protocol? I’ll look on Prozinc sticky

 

Try 0.5 u tonight and get a +2 if you can.

 

Ok I will, thanks!

 

How is Baby

 

Here's a hug

 

@Bellasmom -She’s doing good ok. Just checked again & at 289. Just saw these...
@FurBabiesMama - thank you, needed that today!!
Such angels these 2!... well everyone who helped me today are angels!

 

I think you need a bit of a hug for the scares.
