Good morning!

Sly may have eaten a couple of HC foods last night. I was cleaning up and one of the other cats dishes spilled, and of course he was there to Hoover up the mess.

This won't happen again, because I had already decided last night that everyone in the house is going to YA, so I'll just have to wait a day or two before over analyzing his numbers.

 

Funny how the cats that are supposed to be diet controlled are the fastest - almost desperate - Hoovers. Maybe commercial kibble really is as addictive as they say! (Oils sprayed on, etc…)

 

Well, I hope it doesn't spike him, I just got a 146...

 

@Bandit's Mom

Hi Bhooma,

He's 146, should I wait an hour and test? He's eating his YA food.

I'm certain that if he did get a few pieces of HC food, it was only the DM, I don't have any regular HC in the house.

 

It's like CRACK for cats!! Lol

 

Yes. You can wait an hour to test.

Do you mean last night?

 

It was actually in the middle of the night, I woke up to use the loo, and saw that I left the food dish on the bench behind the couch ( I meant to put it away on the counter and passed out instead).

Like I said, it was mostly the YA, but there were a couple DM mixed in.

 

+4 109

He had his fish broth and some YA about 20 minutes ago.

 

+4.5 116

 

Wonder if you will see a repeat of 2/25 and an all blue day ending in a blue PMPS

If you can monitor, shoot without stalling tonight. You want to see what 5U can do on the new food and whether he needs a reduction or more juice.

 

Ok... Makes me so nervous, because he hits nadir early in the cycle

 

Lantus nadir is typically around +4 though some cats nadir sooner or later.

 

Yes, I am seeing that as I scroll everyone's updates. My former sugar boy had a later nadir, between 6 and 7ish.

Going to check him and update..

 

Holding steady!

My Vet called to tell me she peeked at his spreadsheet and she's so happy about his progress.

I'm gonna need to put my brass ballsies on tonight if he's blue at PMPS...

 

I see those extra kibbles he should not have had showing in his +7...

 

I'm off to bed. Nearly 1 am for me. He might go easy on you and give you a yellow PS. Or maybe not! Good luck. You can do it!

 

Goodnight Bhooma!!

I know, I know. I keep telling myself that.
Thanks for the confidence and support!!

@Suzanne & Darcy @Wendy&Neko

I'm was nervous, but I pushed through and gave him 4.75U tonight.

Maybe I should have done the full 5, but, I just need to know someone is out there!

Deb

 

Oh, I was going to say after looking at his SS… . why did you reduce to 4.75 tonight? Just nerves, I think. Well, that’s natural. I think the full dose would be fine. Shooting lower numbers with Lantus usually gives you a nice flat cycle without any steep drops. As long as you’re monitoring, I expect no problems.

 

Yes, I was honestly shaking when I drew the insulin. Haven't felt that fear in a long time.

Plus, once I got all the air bubbles out it was just under 5.

I'm already having a panic attack!

 

+1 168

 

Not that it helps any now, but the first part of the cycle will play out like you shot 5 units, due to the nature of the depot. Paws crossed for more blue flatness.

 

I always forget that it's like a cycle or 2 behind. I'm looking forward to a lower morning pre-shot number. I want him nice and level.

 

I am proud that I didn't stall though...!

 

See! Blue flatness! Just as you ordered

 

He's had such a great day! He's up to 194 right now, but overall, I am pleased with how he's progressing!

 

I chickened out by a quarter unit, but would have stalled without your confidence in me,

Thank you Bhooma!

 

You shot and without stalling. That's progress
Looks like the 109 this morning was his nadir on the dose. Let's see what he does in the next couple of days.
