HAPPY 2021 EVERYONE!

Yesterday was another good day in Rubyland. Her responses to the insulin have become markedly consistent since I started using calipers. Today the markings on the syringe were off again by around .25 units. I've been aggressively managing the curve by feeding MC during onset to prevent steep drops, but now that we're on our 11th cycle at .5 units I might take a step away from that to see where she goes. Last night I fed her less MC and she seemed to surf well. Would love to see those preshots come down and maybe they will if she's eating less carbs.

 

Hi Katherine, Happy new year!

Great to see all the progress Ruby has made! Well done you!

 

Happy New Year to you and Ruby Hope she surfs safely

 

Thank you so much! (sorry, I don't know your name) We still have some work to do but Ruby's regulated now and she seems to feel pretty good!

 

Happy New Year Katherine!

 

Thanks for the reminder to change my signature!

 

Morning Katherine, looking good there Ruby.
I hope you and Ruby have a good day

 

Happy New Year! Yes, I have to agree, calipers are a God-Send!! Helps so much to get those doses consistent...I don't even use the lines on the syringes any more - they're worthless...I turn the sryinge around to the non-lined side and measure from there.

 

+4 = 81. Got here with no MC today.

It's great because I inadvertently ordered 100 syringes without the half unit markings and then opened the box so I couldn't return them but I can use them now. Who needs lines when they're not accurate anyway?

 

And this is why I love them so! Soon you will be wondering how you ever dosed without them.

Yep! Other than using them as an occasional gut check to make sure my calipers don't need recalibrating, I always measure against the side of the syringe without lines.

Surf safely, Ruby.
Happy New Year.

 

happy new year!
looking good, ruby.

 

Happy New Year! Nice surfing.

 

PMPS = 87. So far a pretty good day for Ruby. I did not break out the MC once and hope she'll surf safely without it tonight. Keeping fingers and paws crossed!

And yes, still loving the calipers!

I already am! I have been looking at her spreadsheet and wondering how many of those wonky days were due to the syringes being totally off.

 

Happy New Years!! Congrats on all the success in Rubyland . Wishing you more in 2021!! Amy

 

I hear you! I did the same thing. It was after a PJ party night where I must've fed over 1/4 cup HC gravy to butters that I made the switch.

 

Thank you so much Amy! I loved our Libre conversations! I've since gotten the hang of poking Ruby a gazillion times a day so I haven't resorted to it again after the last time when the vet placed it badly and the poor girl was really miserable with it on. But I am still happy to try it again if needed in the future. Wishing you and T happy days and bottomless purrs in 2021!

 

+2 = 59. Fed 1 oz 8% LC.

 

+3 = 56. Gave in and fed a tsp of MC with LC. Stay away from the sharks, little one.

 

Happy New Year!! Ruby is looking awesome Surf safely, Ruby

 

Thanks, Cheryl for stopping by! HNY to you too.

 

I am hopeful you will poke your way OUT & into remission & there isn’t a future with the Libre !!
