Skip the shot. Test in 20 minutes after feeding.

 

Can you get another test right away to see if it was a bad strip? How long since she was fed?

 

Feed 4 minutes ago

 

Tested twice 42

 

Fed her half a gravy lovers can and some treats. Anything more?

 

OK. How is she? Looking okay?

How much of the gravy lovers has she eaten?

 

Should be fine for now. Test 20-30 minutes after the meal.

 

She devoured the gravy lovers. Still acting hungry. She is alert and following my husband around.

 

It takes 20-30 mins for the food to make a difference to the numbers.

OK. The food change really did it. The fates were waiting for you to buy that large vial of insulin!

 

So will she be off insulin because of the food change?
Watching her. No change in behaviors. She is hiding though my partner reports.

 

Hopefully. Sooner rather than later!

Ok. I will wait for the next test.

 

+.5 = 232 after hypo feeding

 

Woah! That's quite a spike. Get another test after 3 hours from this meal.

 

Yeah, makes me wonder if the low numbers were real. I mean she ate but I sure didn't think 232 with. So confused?

 

Yes. That was quite a bump. Even for a bounce.
But you said you did get 2 tests, right? 39 and 42?

 

yes, so I have no idea what's going on. Maybe I sent her too high? Still no insulin? I even checked the meter after to make sure I didn't misread the meter.

 

Ok, found this out. Since I cannot walk, I can't go downstairs to check cans of food. Partner now says last night he fed Weruva Mediterrean Feast instead of FF and thru night fed Tiki Cat. Basically he just grabs a can...like when he used the FF gravy. Should that make any difference?

 

If that 39 was indeed correct, it is better to skip.

As long as he fed only LC, it doesn't matter if they are different brands.

 

Skip no matter what.

 

When in doubt its best to skip when you see a test under 40. I am confused though about last night. You told us she was 191 and asked if you should shoot. You were not able to update the ss. Now looking at your ss that was +9. You can’t call a +9 a PMPS. It has to be right before you shoot. Maki could have dropped a lot lower in that 3 hour time period. It’s very important going forward if any insulin is being considered that a test be done prior to EVERY shot. It’s also essential that no food be given two hours before. The same holds for amps.

 

Elise, I will reread this several times today to "get it". Thank you for specifics.

 

Ask me questions as you have them. I don’t mind if you keep asking. I want to help get Maki OTJ. I hope you are feeling better.

 

PMPS 225
Fed and shoot .5U, correct?

 

Yes.if you can monitor and or feee.

 

PMPS +2 239. Acting happy.
