Previous thread https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/8-17-newman-amps-271-shot-2-0-164-6.267073/ Things are getting interesting here at 86 @ +4. I will try to get some more frequent tests. @Suzanne & Darcy @FrostD
No, but I did give him a couple Temptations, something that he usually does not get. He went under the bed. Do you think I should offer him some MC food or just his usual LC?
I would have given some LC normally. But if I really thought that I would not be able to get a hold of him again, I would give MC
Test at +4.5 got 68. I gave him some HC ETA: 86 @+5. I will test again at +5.5 if I can get a hold of him.
Well *I* am happy to see green but I'm sure youre not! I'd have done same thing. Guess he wants a reduction!
I have to just wonder why he went so low today. I hope you can test again or at least get him to come out for some treats/ snacks. I can’t even imagine how nerve wracking that is when this happens and he goes out of reach! I’d probably be passing out the candy at this point. Lol!
As I entered on the SS, I decided to shoot 1.5 since he went so low today (68) and my inability to test overnight. I will get a test at bedtime. I'm thinking about tomorrow as I have a special circumstance to consider and would like input. Tomorrow a lady is coming to the house to do some cleaning for me. I have talked to her on the phone, but otherwise I do not know her. She likes cats and dogs. I will be able to get the fasting BG when we get up and the morning should be routine. She is expected here at 10:00 so I anticipate the cats to be scarce while she is here and I can't imagine that Newman will relax for me to test him. Not saying I won't try, but planning on failure. Question, how do I figure what to shoot? @FrostD @Suzanne & Darcy
Hi Linda. Hadn't heard from you for a while and I just thought I would check in. I didn't think you were going to keep him at the 1.5 unit dose -- just on the day you had a cleaning lady come in? He's been running quite a bit higher on this 1.5 dose than we would like to see. Hope all else has been well for the remainder of the week. You've gotten a lot of good tests in the spreadsheet during the day.
I have been wondering if it was okay to increase but thinking I was supposed to stay with the 1.5, once I made the reduction to that, for at least 5 cycles. I will increase with tomorrow's AM dose and plan to shoot 1.75. Thanks for checking in.
Hi. I’m sorry about this. No reason to hold that reduced dose. The reduced dose was because of a low preshot the first time, as I recall and the next day you had a stranger coming in - so I suggested a reduction for just that day when it was unlikely you would be able to test.
