Thanks Diane! You have a fantastic day!Morning Amy another great start for Herman , I hope he surfs safely![]()
Now if all these cats could just stay nicely in the greens for a week to get their reductions
That makes sense too, it must be so excruciatingly long... especially as you get more used and able to handle dips into limes.it's funny because as someone who went through that with Hendrick....I was actually jealous of people who were getting to their OTJ trials more quickly with the "under 50" reductions. It felt soooooooooooooo painstaking to reduce by .25U a week for weeks and weeks until we finally were shooting no insulin at all and starting the trial.
but on the other hand....it is certainly less panic-inducing!
THANK YOU! It's really only people like you on this board who "get" it. I agree - there really was no other option while there was a chance at remission or at least getting him in normal cat ranges.congrats on the reducie!! Great work Amy, you should be very proud of the commitment and dedication here. You're clearly all in on this and giving Herman every chance possible. Love it! I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do the same for my boy Hendrick. Not doing so was not really an option in my mind!

Yep! No grey area with this oneCongrats on the reducie! Now Herman officially earns the 0.75u dose.
Thanks! getting below 1 unit really feels like a victory - let's hope it sticks!Congratulations on the reduction Amy ,way to go Herman![]()
Thankfully he is really getting used to his field tests and snacks.Oh Herman... how sneaky of you to dive from a nice 70 to a 47!
Seems the MC is kicking in, given his +4.5? I really admire your dedication too Amy, chasing him all over the farm with the testing kit and field snacks - he is so lucky to have you as his mom!
Now if all these cats could just stay nicely in the greens for a week to get their reductions instead of diving and giving us more grey hairs... that'd be appreciated![]()
Yes - both reduction scenarios have their pros and cons. I'll take either!!!it's funny because as someone who went through that with Hendrick....I was actually jealous of people who were getting to their OTJ trials more quickly with the "under 50" reductions. It felt soooooooooooooo painstaking to reduce by .25U a week for weeks and weeks until we finally were shooting no insulin at all and starting the trial.
but on the other hand....it is certainly less panic-inducing!
I just love the image of cat picnics. Like when we were kids and there was always that one mom that showed up with cookies for everyone and it was the BEST.Thankfully he is really getting used to his field tests and snacks.Along with all his cat firends - I will try to get a pic of the cat picnics with my multiple paper plates. He can be a terror inside so being able to get these tests done without him feeling trapped has been key.
Hope he surfs safely and you get to snatch some good sleep later too!I hope i didn't make a huge mistake...i shot the new (reduced dose) despite a low preshot. I am wary of a skipping doses with him and am around all night to keep an eye on him. He is at 108 at +12.5 and will keep with the gravy as needed.
Thank you! It really feels like a milestone to get under 1 unit.Beautiful, beautiful cycle this morning... well... except for the 47... but even that is good because you are testing him so much and you caught that he needs the reduction. Way to go! Congratulations on now being at less than 1 unit! Whoo Hoo!
