even though the drop from AMPS to +2.5 isn't huge, i feel like kit is going to be sneaky today.



day 61 in kit's switch to lantus/relion from prozinc/alphatrak2
day 2 of her decrease to 4U
day 42 of TR

have a great day everybody,

125 @4.75 without food for just over 2 hours
kit is acting really hungry.
i'm inclined to feed small amount LC and see what she does with it.


thoughts?


eta: fed 0.4 LC 6%. ate very willingly

 

It's fine to spread out her food.

Was there a reason that you reduced her dose from 4.5 to 4.0u? Generally, the reduction is by 0.25u.

 

hi, thanks for replying.
yes. high dose reductions are larger.

for reference elise and wendy on our thread 7/29

Please link the thread. I'm at work and have precious little time to track down the thread since it's a week old.

Your cat is not on a high dose. A high dose is generally over 5 or 6u. There may have been a specific reason Wendy made the suggestion but even with cats on much, much larger doses, the reductions are typically 0.25u.

 

yes, it should have been linked in my other reply, but just in case it didn't work.
here's another try with it

@Sienne and Gabby (GA) i had suggested a .25 decrease but a Wendy disagreed with me because she felt glucose toxicity was no longer involved and therefore a .50 decrease was warranted. Based on how’s things have gone since I think Wendy was right.
Since she just had a decrease maybe I’m wrong but I would keep her surfing.

 

thinking similarly.
she's still dropping with the LC onboard for 30min.
i'm going to upgrade her to some MC based on the surf goal

eta: fed 0.4oz MC 15%. ate willingly.

 

84 @+6 with all the MC on board still dropping

thoughts?

 

More mc I think.if she were carb sensitive I would say lc but she also has a late nadir.

 

ok. will put down 0.4oz MC which feels like a lot but she's a willing eater so far.
stay tuned.

 

84 @6.6
flat w a lot of MC on board.
not going to feed and test again in 30min
or?

 

Rinse, lather, repeat.

 

ha, you must have been watching the ss and you type faster

so to recap for anybody lurking along:

78 @ just before 7
i'm inclined to see where she is without food support when we hit the 2 hour mark in about another 30min so just a bit after @7.5
eta: just a bit after @8 is 2 hours mark
reasoning: we still have plenty of time before the 2 hours no food before shot time rule to help her out w food if needed.

 

Another thought. The two hour rule once you know your cat is not always required I’ve read. Check the maths sticky. I always followed that rule though.

Here you go although I believe it’s been written in lots of condos

77 @ 8.5

still plenty of time in the day for kit to pull one of her fast ones as she loves to converge nadir w PMPS.
will test her again in about an hour.

 

Very interesting thought...thanks for the sticky
When Moey was losing dramatic amounts of weight, shortly before he decided to leave us, I left the food down 24 x 7. I knew that AMPS/PMPS could potentially be food influenced but, also knew I was in control of the cycle

****NOTE to LURKERS**** this was only for Moey as I have tons of experience and he was dying from cancer.

 

Hold on to your surfboard Kit!

 

well here we are
70 @9.5

kit does like to keep it interesting.
i'm tending to feed her some more LC 6%, like 0.4oz
ya know, just to keep my hair from bursting into flames at PMPS.
maybe.

thoughts?

eta: kit voted for the food. so let's see what she does with it.

 

Once you know your cat, and you know how much of a food bump she gets, there is wiggle room in the two hour rule - which is generally for newbies who don't know their cat yet. Basically if you feed later than +10, can you answer the questions "is her preshot number safe to shoot - subtracting the food bump"?

And to recap, my suggestion on the 0.5 unit decrease that one time was based on higher dose/depot, some pretty closer together reductions, and some late nights with not much sleep. And I see she's working this new dose well.

 

Nice to see Kit surfing again today.

 

It's great to see Kit doing so well.
