01/21 Charlie AMPS 52

Charlies's AMPS is only 52 I am not going to give him his insulin this morning. I will not be home all day to keep an eye on him. I will be able to pop in to feed him and check on him but won't be able to stay with him. Today is day 8 of all green!

 

Well done Charlie! Looking good!

 

I think you can try the drop dose now.

 

Do I do that this evening?

 

I was looking at your previous thread to see what Elise had recommended (https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/01-18-charlie-amps-59.241668/). She said 3 more days unless he drops below 50, which I think he would have today.
I'm going to tag her nevertheless so that we don't give you conflicting suggestions/advice.

Ok Thank you. His sugar is up now to 86 which makes me feel better about not being home all day.

 

wondering if its possible that he went lower than 50 in the latter half of yesterday's PM cycle.

next time, you get a low number like this, stall without feeding and test in 20 mins to see if he is headed up. if he is, you should be able to shoot.

 

OK Thanks I will do that. I get so nervous when I am not going to be home all day, I will work on that

 

If he is lower and you cannot monitor, you would not shoot. Only if he is headed higher.
Let's see how this cycle plays out and Elise will let you know about the drop dose.

 

Sounds good. Thank you!

 

Let’s see the PMPS and then decide whether to move to a drop. Anti-jinx.

 

Ok I will be home in about 10 mins (+4) to check on him. I will post his numbers then as well. Thanks

 

I suspect it will be very green. If green tonight as well move to the drop dose.

 

His numbers now are 72 I will go down to a drop dose tonight if his number stay green. Fingers crossed!
Thank you

 

Good luck!

 

Thank you!

 

Charlie's PMPS is 72. I gave him 1 drop of insulin. YEAH he is doing so well!

 

Sorry his PMPS is 65

 

It’s a matter of days!

 

Yeah!! Thank you!

 

Charlie is down to a drop dose already!? That's amazing!!!

 

I know!! I am so proud of him. He came off kibble to all wet, taking his shots and the pricks to his ears so well. It is alot to take in and he handled it all without a scratch or a bite to me at all. Not that he normally would but with all that I thought he might get a little cranky.

 

He sounds like such a good boy! It is a lot, that's for sure. I'm so happy for both of you with how things are going.

 

Hi Tammy, wanted to check on you and Charlie, he is doing incredible. It looks like you found all the right people to help you. Have a wonderful day!!!

 

Yes Thank you. We are doing good...knock on wood!

 

So happy for you two keep in touch.

 

Will do. Thank you very much!

 

When you can grab a test at +3-4. If he drops under 50 he’s done with insulin. Otherwise it’s the drop for 4 more days. Soooo close!

 

Great. I will take a +3 tonight. I have not been on all day, sorry.
