    Greetings newbies, middle-bies and longtimers! It's time for another roll call!

    Sorry it has been so long. We had quite the summer at our house, with work and family. So I could use everyone's help in getting our Official, Super-Duper Lantus Land Master Spreadsheet Updated, starring YOU.

    In case you didn't know, there IS a master Lantus Land spreadsheet, with quick links to all of our LL kitties' SS's. It serves as a handy reference tool for those trying to help all of us, by helping them find the records of kitties whose experience might help you.

    I help keep it updated, and you can help too. If you haven't ever checked in with the following info, or if it's been awhile, post below with answers to the following questions, and I'll add/update you. You can click here to see whether you're listed correctly on the SS. (Please note: There are separate pages on the SS for OTJ and GA kitties.):

    https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key ... utput=html

    The link is also in my signature. (In my signature, you'll also find the link on how to correctly obtain the link to your SS, the one with "pub" in it. )

    It helps a lot if you can provide info in the following order, as much as possible:

    Cat's name:
    Bean's name:
    Profile Name:
    Status: [Is your kitty current, OTJ or GA?]
    date of dx:
    date insulin started: [with name of insulin; list all insulins/dates if more than one]
    date start BG tests:
    (OTJ date if relevant, and insulin in use when going OTJ)
    Profile link: [full URL using URL command above]
    Spreadsheet Link:
    Have Contact Info? Voluntary, and it's kept private. (See paragraph below.) You can PM me a way to contact you.
    Your Location: city/state [or province/country]

    What's the private contact info for? If you PM me your private info, It is KEPT PRIVATE. Just a few experienced Lantus Land pros can see it. It allows them to reach you if someone sees an emergency brewing with your kitty -- or you might be asked if you can help a newbie nearby. The private info is entirely voluntary -- send me a private message.

    Thanks for your help, everyone! Give me a few days to get your info updated.

    P.S. Ignore the color coding. I’m just keeping myself organized!

    Hi, Michelle,

    Thanks for getting the ball rolling! If you're new, does that make me...old? :lol: I feel awful that I was away for several weeks over the summer - otherwise, we'd already know each other. Oh well, life happens.

    Looking forward to watching Jetson's progress. I will grab your links from your condo. And cute kitty yourself! :D

    A few of you don't seem to be aware of having a Profile. This is a snapshot of your cat and includes details that can be a huge help. Info like date of diagnosis, medical history, food, meter, etc. The template is in the Tech Support forum and you can link the profile to your signature the same way you did with your spreadsheet. You don't need to use the template if you prefer to be more creative. (See Gabby's Profile.)

    Thanks for all of the responses!!

    I don't know why I sometimes don't get emails when the condo is updated. :? So much activity since I last checked.

    Anyway, updates begin today, will take several days. So those of you who haven't yet commented, there is always time! :mrgreen:

    Wanted to mention that if you take time to add a profile, you get to brag about your wonderful kitties, and display impressive poses, e.g. "The Roach." :mrgreen:

    More, please!

    Hi, Brent,

    Added the special Dx's, thanks. You can just ask the vet about the insulin start date next time you go - that would be great.

    6 cans a day. Holy FF!

    I should update that, he's probably up to 8 cans of FF due to the Acro and IAA.
    And not gaining weight!

    8 cans! That's a lot of beautiful cat.

    Okay, profiles!

    Profiles changed between the "old" board (newbies won't remember it) and the current board.

    Here are hints on how to work with the new board:
    viewtopic.php?f=6&t=486

    Here's where Michele and Peeps gave Gwen's SmokeyD some input:
    viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50918

    Other helpful links about the old board, in case it helps: courtesy of Cyn and Cosmo (who also made this LL SS great), here's how to make a profile:

    I just added a profile today. I edited my initial roll call post to include it, or it's also in my signature.

    Thanks!

    Updated profile instructions here http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36698

    Cyncyn's instructions work for the most part except there is no place in the current version of Google Docs to put the HTML code from the Coolification web site.

    Make sure to have the correct link for your SS and profile. Both should contain pub in the link, not ccc. Explanation of why the correct link is needed and how to fix are here http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17091 There are pictures of how to get the correct links to use further down in that thread.

    So glad you all now have the PROPER profile instructions!

    And Jaclyn, I definitely saw Jetta's profile. I appreciated very much the photo of the yoga pose "Dead Roach." :lol: Hilarious.
