5/7 Buzz AMPS: 138, +2: 261

Yesterday's condo: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13845

WCR: Buzz slept with us all night so I knew she would be in good #s this morning. I shouldn't have expected them to last, but I do always get that spark of hope that she will hang on to blues and greens for a whole day. Hope springs eternal and all. I am so frustrated with all of this, particularly because she was doing so well before her UTI, and now it's like she's never seen insulin before and her body has no idea what to do. She was moving down the dosing ladder with #s consistently in the 40s, but now she bounces from the smallest little thing. My ability to handle this well is compromised by the fact that I have some other stuff going on that is really stressing me out, and I know I'm whining, and I apologize. I just always feel like the clock is ticking because in a few months, she will have been on insulin for a year. Thanks for listening, and I hope you all have a good weekend.

Sarah!! The objective here is to make our cats well & healthy again--Not every cat goes into remission, as I well know.
There is NO time limit--Libby & Lucy went OTJ after 1 1/2 yrs...One cat went after 3 yrs...There are NO rules.
So stop putting undue pressure on yourself--You will love Buzz whether she is OTJ or on the juice, so....
The remission rate here IS very hIGH!
You are trying very HARD..and doing a great job--Look how you helped her out of that UTI!!!

It is just ONE NUMBER on ONE DAY. That is what Sienne taught me, and she is right!
Normal bgs are 60-120, so she started out at a little higher #..ate, bg went up, then she'll go down.
Please Breathe, eat chocolate, yell & scream at us--It's OK we understand..and love you none the less--HUGS~!!!!!

Buzz was there once and will get back there again. Patience! I know I'm one to talk! Buzz will turn the corner, but will probably wait until you are nearly bald from tearing your hair out. :roll:

Buzz, you get back home before your momma pulls her hair out! cat(2)_steam
Sarah, I hope she comes down from that rebound soon. I know you're frustrated and I wish I could make it better. Chocolate, wine, ????
