6/10 Newman AMPS 272

Previous thread https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/6-7-newman-amps-272.264273/#post-2961655

Plan to continue current dose 1.5 units. That got us into blue numbers a few days ago. Will feed first to be sure he keeps his food down.

 

Don't you have an appointment today?

 

Your memory is good. I had to reschedule that to a date in July.

 

Hopefully he has kept his food down this morning?

 

So far so good.

I'm about to shoot. Do you have some concern?

 

No. I was just hoping he wasn't going to throw up like yesterday!

 

I was just noticing that a few days ago, when he started out at 272, he had some lovely blues on that day.

 

That's my hope, everyday!
Thanks for checking on us this morning. It is very helpful to me.

 

I am hopeful that he may have had at least one blue this afternoon. It turned out that I had to run an errand, so I tested him at 2:00 and seeing he was 245, felt safe leaving him for about an hour and a half.

Maybe tomorrow will produce better numbers. I will try to get some more tests to monitor.

It really doesn’t look like he got out of the yellows yesterday. Here’s an example of something I typed last night but never sent.

 

Maybe today is the day for blue? And you were up last night at 3:30? Hope it wasn’t insomnia. I hope you are feeling well today.

 

Yes, I'll be looking for blue. What time checks would you like to see? Of course I never know if he will be available/accessible, but I can make a plan.

Was this morning the 'blueberry' breakfast?

 

Went out this morning and picked more blueberries yes. Ate some with melon, raspberries, peach nectar, mango. Had a quiche and some bacon too. I’ll make blueberry crisp either today or tomorrow. My kids want to watch the Belmont Stakes today.

 

Anyway, I hate to suggest times because Newman may not cooperate.

 

I was just looking at the SS and seeing where I could aim to fill in some blanks. At 1:00, in a few minutes, that will be +5. He is sleeping in the cat carrier in my walk-in closet. I will try to coax him out. I'll post it if I get it. I have to get to the shower, it is past noon and I am still in my PJ's. (tmi ?)


204 @ +5

 

Yes. I just had a peek at his spreadsheet and saw that 204. He’s close to blue at least.

 

Got a blue - he was 172 @ +7 @Suzanne & Darcy

 

Good! Now if we could get those blues a little lower or get him to stay there longer. Well… we will see where he is this evening

 

PMPS 242 going to shoot 1.5 @Suzanne & Darcy

 

Okay. 242.

 

Hi Linda. I checked up on Newman's spreadsheet this morning about 7:30 and saw your AMPS. I'm stopping by again now and see he's having a kind of flat yellow day. At least the yellows are on the lower end. Are you getting the feeling that he needs a little more insulin?

 

He probably should have an increase, but I didn't look back and see why we backed off of the higher dose. I see that he has been on 1.5 units for 8 cycles after completing today's cycle. I think I prefer to wait and do any increase until tomorrow, rather than worry throughout the night (any more than usual.)

As sure as I say that, I can almost be that sure that his AMPS will be some unusually low number, just because. lol

Do you think an increase should be 0,25 ?

 

The usual increase would be .25. And yes, he’s heard the threat of the increase now so anything goes. I wasn’t suggesting tonight

 

No, I was thinking out loud, waiting until tomorrow was for ME and my nerves.

 

And I agree. My personal policy was never to do an increase in the evening cycle - I always (or almost always) avoided them.

 

I hope you have a good evening, Linda.

 

Thank you, and as always I appreciate you checking on us, sharing your experience.

I hope you also have a good evening.
