    Bubba's Great Green Day

    Starting in the Blues. :cool: Not too bad if this is a bounce, we'll take it. Momma is tired and going back to bed for a couple of hours as she needs energy for dinner guest tonight. Cooperate with me please Bubba.

    +2 130, guessing this could be a good cycle too and maybe back in the greens?

    Bubbas looking good, he had a great cycle yesterday, hope you can catch up on some sleep before your visitors. He may well make it to the lagoon a little later this afternoon. He's probably just waxing his board for some surf action later on;)

    Keep working that juice Bubba

    Well if this is a bounce, it's not a bad one. At least you (and his ears) get a little less excitement today. Until he hits his nadir, that is... :woot:

    This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway...
    Any chance of taking a nap before your dinner guests come in case Bubba gives you reason to be up tonight?

    +4-79, gave his usual .75 oz of food for his last snack of the cycle. Guess I better stay up for at least another hour to see what's what....

    PS I think you called his one right, @Jill & Alex (GA) ....... depending on what I get at +5, (10:30 EST) if it's lower than 79, I will give a little of med carb to get a little sleep and check again in a few hours depending on the number. It was inevitable that I would sooner or later have a night run....;):blackeye:

    Let's see what the +5 number is... hopefully you'll be able to do as planned. :)
    Don't be afraid to leave food out and /or use HC to bump numbers up especially if you're laying down for a couple of hours. They're options.

    Wish we could pick when the low cycles happen. So far, you've lucked out...
    unfortunately, the goal is low cycles (less than 100), every cycle, every day. :D

    We have been incredibly lucky with only a hand full of times at nighttime. If need be I will give some HC food to get a bit of sleep. All in all, I am still thrilled that he is responding so well. I know it's a matter of time that the thrill is gone. Wasn't that a R & B song?? The thrill has gone away......

    Yes, don't be afraid to use the tools you have... especially at night. With a late nadir cat one has to think in terms of how far you are away from nadir.

    He's right on track with yesterday's cycle.
    Best bet is to retest in about 30 -45 minutes to see what kind of bump the HC gave him.

    At this point, I'd like to see him up enough to where you could nap on the couch for a bit... wouldn't want you to get too comfortable in bed and risk not hearing an alarm. :)

    I'm going to test him again in about 10 minutes, 11:40 EST. Depending on the number, I will catch a few zzz in the living room with my phone set for another 30 mins. I always sleep with one eye open anyway; leftover from children.

    It's also possible it'll take him closer to an hour to see the full effects of the HC, but who wants to experiment at night? Let's save that experiment for a daytime low.

    I'd give him more HC just because it's night time and nadir is a long way off.

As long as he doesn't get into the 40 range I won't freak. :eek: I am imagining that I will be at this till daybreak if he doesn't come up, right? If he does come up, at what number can I feel like I can go to sleep at?

    Good.
    I'm ok for now. If he drops into the 40s, pull out the syrup.
    You could even put a couple drops in his food to bump him up for an hour if you want to feel comfortable taking an hour long nap. <------- You dont have to wait for 40s to do this!
    I wish I could give you a number, but I can't. At the time you'll have to analyze how much it took to get his numbers up and if it appears they'll stay up for an hour or two.

    If he's in the 80s at +10, I would feed and run to bed, BUT I hope you're able to go to bed before that.

    He has put 2 lbs back on since the ketones ate him up. He was 15.6 yesterday and he had gone down to 13.8 . Before FD, he was 24 lbs! That was too much mind you, the vet wanted him to get down to 20. At the time of DX he was 19 and then continued to drop. He is looking good now and I wouldn't mind another 1-2 lbs on him as he is a huge cat. He is like a small bob cat. We called him the "Bub-cat"

    at least he's holding steady, but it's taking a lot to keep him there.
    He might be done with this dose, Bobbie. I would have loved to see him hold it longer, but if it takes this much work to keep him safe we'll have to reduce the dose...

    I think as hard as he's being about coming up, I might try the 5U dose again

    Chicken & Liver is one of her favorite low carb varieties ....and I haven't found a "Gravy Lovers" she didn't love

    5u might be enough now. I think I'd rather see you try 5u again before messing around with fattening the dose. Sometimes it only takes a couple of doses to get things moving again.

    Besides, if it doesn't work, there's more than one way to get things done around here...
    Bubba just may be better off with a little less Lantus and reintroducing R again. Let me pow-wow with Libby about that tomorrow to see what she thinks.

    He is 73 @+7 . He usually starts to go up about now before he comes down. Maybe I could get a hour sleep and wake up and check on him?

    Make that was a prolific hunter. He has been house bound now for a month tomorrow. It is making my life so much easier although I feel badly for him. He doesn't get any exercise now. :(

    Good idea, but leave some food out for him.
    If I'm still up, I'll check back with you... otherwise I'll catch up to you tomorrow.

    As much as he enjoys chasing things, I think he'd love Da Bird

    It's a major hit around here and my cats don't exercise unless their running to the food bowl!

    Bubba sure had you dancing tonight, but it was great to see those numbers! Hope you were able to get some shut eye. Sweet dreams (can you get to dream state in 15 mins? lol).
