Good AM number! She growled at me when I dosed her this morning so I must have been a little high on her scruff. :-( didn’t stop her from nomming on breakfast though. We’re trying some other brands since she seems to have lost the gusto for FF. So we’re trialing some TikiCat.

Have a great day!

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Go go, Chloe! Love seeing all of her progress, Alex. You're doing great!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Good luck with the increase, she's come a long way , ♥

 

[Librarianista]

Thank you both so much!

 

[Librarianista]

What lovely blues all day long

 

[Librarianista]

PM +2 is 54 and this is the lowest I’ve ever seen her. I know it’s a green number, but she’s still got hours before her nadir.
She’s been at her dinner bowl a few times and it gets left out overnight anyway. Should I toss some medium carb in there?

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Yes, numbers in the 50s require MC, but just a wee bit. You want to keep her hungry in case she's still lingering in the 50s on your next test. Test again in 30 mins to see where she is heading.

I just gave her about a teaspoon's worth. Will update at +2.5.

Been trying some different foods since she seems utterly disinterest in the tons of FF I have. That's probably having some effect.

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

This cat's on a mission!

 

[Librarianista]

BG is 60 @ +2.5

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

She’s still a bit far off from nadir. I’d try another spoon of MC if she’s willing and test again in 30 minutes. If she’s higher, don’t feed and then test again an hour later to see if she’s coming up without the help of food. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I’m sorry but I can’t stay up with you tonight. I have a job interview tomorrow morning and need to be rested. I’m gonna tag @Bandit's Mom in case she’s up and about.

Thank you for you help. I have the sticky on low numbers open as well. What would be considered a safe range that I could leave her for the night?

Also, good luck on your interview!

I would be content to leave Chloe be if she can come up above 70. She might bounce tomorrow from this.

And thanks for the good wishes! I need it!

 

[Librarianista]

59 @ +3 with a bit more MC in her (though she just finished that - probably didn't take effect yet).

I have a feeling this girl is gonna get sooo many treats from testing tonight...

 

[Librarianista]

56 @ + 3.5

 

[Bandit's Mom]

56 @ + 3.5

I'm here! She had MC at +2 and +2.5. Anything after that? What is your MC%?

She had another spoonful of MC at 3.5

+4 is 58. MC is 13% on the food chart.

 

[Librarianista]

Still 58 at +4.5

I’m not sure I’ll be able to get her to eat more. She ate pretty heartily at dinner and is passed out in my lap.

She should start heading up. Last meal was MC at +3.5, right? Let's see where she is at +5.5 (2 hours after food).

 

[Marina & Chico]

Ohh Chloe seems to be doing very well on this dose
Alex&Shane you did a great job today at feeding the curve with Katherine and Bhoomas help that is some incredible progress from all those black values

 

[Librarianista]

She is down to 46 at +5, and also nibbled a bit more food.

I don’t have any HC cat food and everything a closed right now. Time to bring out the honey?

 

[Marina & Chico]

Bring in the honey, she has nothing else to prove on this dose. We test in 20 min intervals at least 2 when Chico dips under 50.

 

[Librarianista]

61 just now with a little bit of honey

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I was wondering whether a reduction was in order. She decided for us!

If she won't eat the honey, just apply it to her lips so she is forced to lick it off.

 

[Librarianista]

So definitely not the 3.75U tomorrow. Back down to 3.5? Or less?

She licked a little bit off a spoon, and I rolled a treat in some.

Test again in 20-30 min just to make sure she is still up when the honey wares off

Oh yes. I’m expecting to be up for at least another hour making sure she’s stable.

Back down to 3.5U

 

[Librarianista]

64 just now, but also still licking honey off her paws.

 

[Librarianista]

62 at +6.5. Still don’t feel quite out of the woods yet :-/

Feed some more MC (if she will eat it) and take a nap and test after a couple of hours.

She ate with gusto. She’s had almost an entire can this evening. Or at least licked the gravy off the shreds

Nap sounds wonderful. Setting an alarm for +9ish.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and calm, Bhooma. And everyone else who checked in tonight.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

See you at +9! Keep the clock/phone across the room so you don't switch the alarm off and go back to sleep

 

[Librarianista]

+9 is 70. Phew.

Is there a range where her AMPS would be so low that I wouldn’t shoot the first shot of the day?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Is there a range where her AMPS would be so low that I wouldn’t shoot the first shot of the day?

With TR, you can shoot anything over 50. She should bounce from the lows she saw tonight. Let's see where she is at AMPS. Stall without feeding if she's too low to shoot.

ETA: Feed her some LC now - before the 2 hour no-feed window from +10. In case she decides to do a Lantus douple-dip!

Alas, I fell back asleep before seeing this so she did not have a LC snack.
