TODAY will be the day where that thing, we don't talk about is happening!
0.2mmol from green!

She was yellow +4, when I got up at +11 I knew she wasn't in the higher blues.

I got a good night's sleep, injured myself +4 playing with needles in my sleep, so that's great. I'm loaded with strips and MC.

@Bandit's Mom today is the day!

Where does MC become HC?

 

you think she heard Wendy's threat of bringing her dose up if she doesn't show the right colours?

 

Looks like Mauer and Hercs will keep each other company today!

 

She must have!

Oh dear. I don't want to shoot those!
Will you be around today?
When do I feed? +1? Or let her dip first? And stick to 5% unless necessary?

 

Yes I will and we stick to LC till she drops below 50. She is going to earn a reduction because of the food change and it's better to take it sooner rather than later. We don't want one of those cycles where you are struggling to keep her up.

 

Doooooooh if you jinxed it, cake is on you!!!!!

 

I will be very very surprised if you keep her over 50 with LC. The real LC. Not your idea of LC!

 

It's not my idea of LC. It's undercover!
I'm shaking a bit

 

Deep breaths. Let's see where she is at +1.

 

Still feed?

 

No food bump. Interesting. Think you can feed at +2.

 

Why is that interesting? Is there always a food bump, regardless of carb content?

 

Yes, there usually is unless kitty is heading lower thanks to bounce clearing so nadirs are at +13, +14 etc.

 

Well.. her bouncing is a lot less, and they clear up faster! So this past PM cycle was a bounce from yesterday's steady cycle?

To me it seems like she's only working the AM cycle.

Well, she didn't go lower or higher? So maybe she's not that sensitive to food?
I watched her almost eat the bowl, so it most certainly went in

 

Don't know if she hasn't bounced into pink because she's getting more used to green or whether the removal of HC had anything to do with it. I was told that food does not affect how high a cat bounces. Feed carbs later in the cycle (causing loss of duration) combined with a bounce can take numbers higher.

2 days back, she started at a similar number and was flattish despite your feeding the HC at +1, +2 and +3! Today she is flat with LC, so not as much downward momentum as Feb 17th or not as carb sensitive - surely even kitties that are not carb sensitive will react differently to 0% carbs (raw) and 17% carbs! We will know by and by how sensitive she is to carbs now that we have taken out the HC and are feeding only LC.

Let's see the +2

 

Ok. Still flat at +2. Feed some LC at +3, so she has fresh carbs on board for onset.

 

+2 97, fed half table spoon of 5% carb.

The raw is 4% carb, so not exactly 0%.

To me, it didn't seem as if she lost any duration 2 days back, even with the 17%. Unless the carbs was what kept her up the whole day. She got HC in her PM cycle too..

 

I already fed her!

 

No sweat As long as she will eat through the cycle, it's fine.

So I'm gone for yoga in 15 mins and will miss your +3. Will be back for your +4. Hopefully all the action should be from +4 only.

 

I'm not sweating, but you will be! lol!
Have a great yoga class

 

This is interesting, I have been wondering about this. Like Mauer, Hercs bounces have dampened quite a lot after changing to Lantus. So it is possibly the switch to a depot insulin that is keeping them more stable (which is why I like this insulins so much more!)
I am afraid Hercs has already jumped in the bouncing train this morning.... I'll give another hous, because I did give him honey, but I think we are in the clear (anti-jinx)
Remeber, Sasha, earning a reduction is a good thing! as it is to be in the greens! You got this!

 

nice and flat so far, i see! let's see what +4 has in store.

 

Not much
No food?

 

Saving it for the night?

When did she last eat? +3?

 

Just guessed since she was higher
Yeah, +3

 

Can wait to feed.

 

Surf it, Mauer. Would be nice if she came down just a little bit more.....

 

I just don't want to ruin the onset

Exactly!

 

Great start, to his cycle

 

LOL I was thinking just the same, with Lev he still has time to bring it down some, keeping paws crossed.

 

And still.... she hasn't moved even a tiny bit

 

Maybe this will work.
Mauer, green is good, but nadir in the 90's will possibly still mean a dosecrease for you

 

Why?
I thought she'd have to go below 50?

 

I mean a dose increase (slang for that on here is dosecrease) sorry

If she drops below 50 she would get a reduction, absolutely.

 

I'm beginning to wonder if the 17% carb food was low carb after all.

 

Or she has a crazy metabolism?!
I forgot to feed +5, so last meal was +3.
I'll feed +6

 

I rechecked the carb% of Rocco Beef & Chicken dog food based on Nutrional Info provided in both Zooplus and a website called Bitiba (which looked very simliar to Zooplus) and the carb% works out to 17% (16% if I consider minerals like calcium and phosphorous).

@Gill & George

 

Bitiba is Zooplus's discount site.

Back to square one. So this is annoying....

 

Verified with the can label as well. Hmm.... Let's see what she does tonight. I know food change from kibble to LC canned takes a few days to reflect in the numbers - even a week.
Shouldn't take very much time with canned, I think.

 

But....how? I mean, even after a hypo with HC the BG doesn't seem to be effected? Or at least I haven't noticed.
It's so odd how long do I keep testing?

 

Think you can stop now. Get one at +9. Hopefully, she's saving the real action for tonight!

 

I'm doing a +7.
And I really hope she isn't saving anything for tonight
Anything I need to do, if I leave the house? Leave out some food?

 

You're not going to be home tonight?

 

Of course! I just want to go grocery shopping

 

Go between now and PMPS! Duh!

 

I'm back
Or I've been for a while.
I'm so excited on her +9!
She haven't moved since this morning though.. not unusual

 

They say flat yellow cycles and flat blues cycles mean extra action in the next one.. By that yardstick, I wonder what this cycle says!

 

Indeed! gorgeous, would love to have everyday like this!!

 

You're freaking me out

 

The carbs from wet food will be in and out of their system. With dry it can take longer, and the carbs are much higher as well, so hence a dramatic change.
Maier has had how many cycles now without it fed on a regular basis?

All I can think is that the meat stock, listed as an ingredient, has some carbs in it???

 

This is cycle 3.

 

And not any dry for months.

I'm foreseeing at night without much sleep

 

But Sasha, look at her SS. The transformation is amazing. She hasn't had 3 days of continuous blue and green for all the months on prozinc. It is totally worth it! Hang in there!

 

It really is, Karen!
Totally worth it. Only wish I'd done it sooner! But we're here now and it's everything I hoped it would be. Minus the sleep
But hopefully at some point we'll get there too

 

Pmps 173
Going to sleep now.
I'll do a +4 and see where she headed .

I'm loving this, but darn it's hard!
