I've been feeding 1.6% LC at shot time, +1, +2, +3, +6 and +8. She gave me a green AMPS two days in a row. I'm curious about her PMPS today.

 

She is getting a snack at +8 in both cycles?

 

Yes because she gets very upset if she doesn’t. But I keep it small, like a teaspoon maybe.

 

It's good you are giving a snack at +8. In fact, for cats on such small doses of insulin as well as cats on OTJ trials, we recommend giving a snack at +8 or +9 to see if that helps bring down the preshots. For cats with functioning pancreas, insulin is produced in response to food and that brings down the BG, three hours after food.

 

She will be delighted to hear that!

I think I can gradually shift the last preshot snack to +9 and see if that makes a change

 

I divided her afternoon snack and gave her a half at +8 and the other half at +9. She tested 115 at +10, which is not terrible but I was kinda hoping for a full green cycle. She was a bit stressed though as my mom came to visit and she doesn't like other people around.

 

Could have been a food bump. Curious to see where she is at PMPS.

 

She tested 124 at PMPS

 

Might be bouncing from the 58 she saw this morning.
