Nice start! Keep it going with those healing numbers.

 

57 @3.5 after BG 0.25oz MC 15%

testing again in 30min

eta: MC bc she wasnt going for the LC in her plate

 

Somebody just might earn a reduction today.

 

earliest one ever, if so.
so if she does on this next test what do you think for food?
last time she went <50 we gave
0.5 oz HC w a touch of karo

so early in the day ...

 

If she does drop under 50 go with what you gave last time as a reduction will be earned. Then the goal is to get her surfing 50’s-60’s if possible with mc or lc.

 

got it.

in other updates, she really just wants to get back into her leash and sit on the patio and doesnt understand all the fuss about having a snack.
she's killing us with those longing looks to the backyard...


t-10min

 

49 @4

0.5 oz HC w a touch of karo. eating willingly

 

Congrats on the reduction. I’m not surprised she earned it. She’s been toying with this for awhile. Up please Ms Kit.

 

62 @4.75

going w 0.25oz MC 15%. eating willingly
and

Great job steering her!

 

great job coaching!

68 @5.25

test again in 30min

but the one who is really running the show ....

 

She looks so happy!

 

She's beautiful! And you're right about that...no matter what we do, we know who's in charge of the whole thing.

Nice job steering today! Congrats on the reducie! That's some surfing there baby!

 

she truly is.
breeze in her hair, snacks in her belly.

57 @5.75
feeding 0.45oz MC 15% ate willingly
testing again in 30min


btw, what should our reduce amount be for PM
not sure if we're still doing 0.5U or not?

 

Great job y'all! Way to keep Kit safe.
Grab your surfboard Kit. Stop teasing those toothy ones

 

Good question. It’s whatever your last increase was so .25 unless someone feels strongly otherwise.

 

ok

65 @6.3
no food
test again in 30min

 

66 @7
no food
test again in 45min just after no food for 2hrs
go kit.

 

You are pros now!

 

we learn a little something with every new scenario. thanks for your support.

going to put up the "?" prefix in case anybody else wants to chime in on the reduction amount.
as you said, if no discussion before PMPS we will go to
4.75U


67 @7.8

I would do a 0.5 unit reduction. This is where you need to learn what works for Kit. Some cats are sensitive to small changes, some not. But with a larger dose, best start conservative, then learn. Rather the larger decrease than fight an overfull larger depot. I am also thinking you've started to win the fight against glucose toxicity, and that can sometimes lead to a few rapid changes in a row. Plus, she did quite well on the 0.5 unit reduction last time.

 

thanks for the reply.
will take it down to 4.5U for PM cycle

 

And that’s exactly why I was hoping for more input. I was just looking at how 5 units was the first time she took a .5 increase and how it wasn’t hard to keep her surfing. I never had to take a .5 increase. So glad you responded.

 

Sorry. I couldn't follow you today. I was looking at the insides of my eyelids today. I really needed to get some sleep.
Glad you got an answer about the reduction. I have the same question.

 

Bounce starting???? Only Kit knows.

 

Great job today. Congrats on the reducie.
