Thank you @Deb & Wink! Appreciate the tips for keeping him OTJ and plan to follow all of them. You're the best :bighug:
@Lisa and little @Deb & Wink Thank you both! His surgery went great (aside from him REFUSING to wear the cone of shame afterward), and he is all...
Hi all! It's been several months since I have posted. I probably should have requested advice more often, but life has been a bit crazy. I feel kind...
Thanks Deb! This all makes sense. I switched him to 0.5U starting last night and he was high enough for his pm shoot yesterday too.
It's been about a week since I checked in on Charleston's dosing. He's had some low pmps preshot numbers and I had to skip a couple doses. I've been...
Stalled for 20 minutes without feeding, tested again and got 136. I re-tested out of curiosity and got 180. Is it possible something is wrong with my...
Now his BG is 163. I lost track of time so it is more like a +12.3. I'm kind of baffled by him and his numbers right now o_O I'm thinking I will feed...
I just took a +11.5 out of curiosity and he is only at 185.
I can certainly get a timed feeder and have been meaning to. I also am available to get him to eat something around +1 and +2. He's got a really good...
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. Charleston just earned another dose reduction. He was all the way up at BG 413 at amps and dropped down to BG 55...
Good to know about the earlier nadir. I'll make sure to capture his mid-cycle tests around +3 to +5 as suggested. In terms of bringing his numbers up...
Thanks Ale, I sure hope it sticks too! He's good this morning, but had a slightly higher than normal amps (BG 366). Just checked him at +6 and his BG...
It's been a dramatic week for Charleston. On Sunday, his BG went down to 57 but he had symptoms of a hypo (legs shaking, difficulty walking, urgent...
Thank you @Chris & China (GA)! :bighug: I'll keep testing as you suggested. I'll plan to decrease in the morning and see what happens from there....
I checked Charleston's BG at pmps +4 and his BG is 49. He doesn't seem to have any symptoms, but I went ahead and have him half a can of FF gravy...
Thanks everybody! Yes, definitely good to know he's got a lower threshold than many cats. I've been checking him and he's consistently headed back...
Okay, will do. Grateful this happened on a day when I am home with nowhere to be. Seeing his little legs shaking was so scary :( I am endlessly...
I just called him over and the leg shaking seems to have subsided. His frantic meowing for food stopped too and he settled down. Do you think I can...
Just checked him again and he is 65 now. His legs are still shaking and he's begging for more food, but no other new symptoms.
Thank you for responding so quickly! Will test him again shortly and report back.
