? Yum is green: feed HC?

Previous thread http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/yum-has-been-a-bit-lethargic-the-last-3-days.191309/

Should I give her some FF gravy food?

 

How does she usually respond to food? Does her regular food bring her up? Does she get much of a food bump? If so, I would try regular food for now and see if it slows her down any and monitor closely. When is her pm nadir, typically?

And wow, Yum! I can’t believe my eyes!

 

Her raw food is almost 0 carb.
She doesn't have a clear nadir in the evening.
I will test her again in an hour and see if I need to stop this drop.
It's been a long time since I've done a reduction. These huge doses are disorienting.
I wasn't expecting much on day 1 of a new dose. I think her highs last night and this morning were misleading---they might have been influenced by her not feeling well yesterday.

 

Could be a little bounce breaking from that 180 yesterday and she has more momentum to get to green. Asia eats radcat too, recently it gives her a huge food bump and helps her surf, don’t ask me why. It’s not always just about the carbs, I think it also has to do with how quickly the food gets in to them, the fat and protein have a hand in this as well. If you think she still has a way to go down and you’re worried, go ahead and give her a bit of gravy and I would test again in 30 to see what it does (or doesn’t do) for future reference, especially now that you are on a high dose, it may be a bit different.

 

Great to see Yum in better numbers . You are doing a fantastic job.

 

Long term diabetics get a reduction at 40 on a human meter (80% of 50).
For Yum on an AT2 I guess that is about 54.
Just to be prepared...

 

I ignored the long term diabetic rule with an acro, cause Neko held reductions if she earned them. Plus I am cautious with a larger dose. But you have to learn what works for Yum.


Love the green. She's not dropping fast now. Maybe see if just LC will hold her.

 

Yum! Look at that green!

 

Oh my goodness, Yum! What are you doing? Step away from the shark net!

Good thing you are watching her - she's full of surprises tonight!
