You don't think the SEB would inhibit the carbs in the food ??

 

Only the medications.

 

Is his tummy still gurgling? Is he licking his lips or looking nauseated now? Not sure about the SEB and the carbs.

 

No

his gurgling has stopped ...has been giving me stink eye tho....little turkey thinks I'm keeping him up

 

+7....51 .....more HC ??

 

Yup.

 

Just 1 teaspoon ? Aren't we close to his nadir ??? +8 ?

 

Yes just a tsp. He should be at or very close to nadir. He tends to be a late nadir kitty.

 

His nadir might be a bit later if he’s running low.
Sorry I was missing inaction. One of the cats trod in poop in the litter box then tracked it through the house.

 

Oh, no Bron ! It's always something !!!!

 

AM shot reduce to 1.25 , , correct ???

 

My little Miss thinks she helps clean litter boxes by scratching any solid deposits OUT of the box. I feel your pain!

 

Definitely reduce to 1.25u.

 

He's doing super clean right now ...I'm sleeping on the floor with him and civvie Chris...

 

Aren't they all their own particular personality ??? Beats all I ever saw ....they are a lot of work at times but worth every minute

 

Is it my groggy mistake or did I read on the Board that when they start cleaning that can indicate their numbers are going up after lows ?? Oh please let that be true !!!

 

Sorry Beth. I never saw that one!

 

I’ve not heard that before. They will certainly clean themselves when they are feeling better but I’ve not heard it about the lows.

 

Ok , then I'll pretend that is so

 

He is conked out...snoring away I'm jealous

 

When is the next test due?

 

+7.5.......45 .....Giving 1 t HC....should I add drop of honey ??

 

Must be due about now.

 

ELMO! Up buddy!

 

Not sure about the honey. DOn't want to upset tummy. Add an extra tsp of HC.

 

Drop of honey ??? Or just HC ??

 

Ok ....bit more HC

 

Elmo! What are you doing!
Just as well you are on his case Beth!!
Yes I agree with Linda. Try extra hc

 

Gave 2 t HC gravy

 

He is looking for his food where his night time snacks usually are !'n

 

What!?! Table service isn't good enough?

 

You have to love them!!!

 

Heck, just realized Carla and Lizzie will be up soon Why do y'all think he is taking so long for numbers to rise ? I'm too tired to tell names of the food but they were listed as 20 carb on Dt Lisa chart ....

 

That's the million dollar question. Maybe his pancreas sputtered into more action tonight? I presume he ate his usual pre-shot amount?

 

Wow Elmo. You may need to skip the AM shot to drain the depot if his numbers still have not come up.

 

71. ....71.....71 .....woot woot ....dancing going on down in here

 

He has been eating more all day

 

Good morning , Carla I just said it was ab time that you got up !! This has been crazy and I am soooo blessed that Bron and poor sleep deprived Linda have been here every step of the way

 

What now ??? Give 2t HC again or wait an hour and see what is what ???

 

Did you feed with the +8 test when you got the 71?

 

This reminds me of the 24 hour labor we went they with our first baby ....we went thru every shift of nurses

 

We cross posted. Don't feed and test in an hour to see if his numbers are staying up.

 

Yes, Carla....has to give 2 t HC cis he threw up initial amount with Karo in it

 

Thank you , thank you to the moon and back , Bron and Linda ❤️ Linda , please go to bed , bless your heart ❤️ This has been a marathon !!! Love you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Keep testing until you are sure he’s going to stay up.

 

Carla, how will I know whether or not to give AM shot ? You mentioned draining his depot ???

 

Test at +9 and see where he is. The idea is to get two tests without food that are the same as the last test or higher.

 

Well I am going to hop into bed for a nap. You're in good hands and surely to goodness Elmo's BG is going to stay up now. Good morning all!

 

I will ...a million thanks to you, Bron ❤️ I plan on staying up and will snag a nap later today . What a wild ride Elmo has taken us on

 

If his numbers bobble back down and you have to work to get them back up you'll probably want to skip the AM shot.

 

I might head off too now that the morning crew has woken up......just cooking dinner for my lot.
Elmo.... please behave... it’s great seeing green numbers but time to come up a bit now. Hope you can sleep later Beth. Great to see you again

 

I agree... you have had to work at keeping the numbers up and they dropped back at least twice.

 

Millions of thanks ,Bron ❤️

 

Unless his AMPS skyrockets, you'll probably want to skip. How much longer until the next test at +9?

 

Good morning . What an exciting night for you and Elmo. ECID but I always gave honey, it seemed gentler than karo (and natural). There was a discussion on what people feeding raw should use as HC. Someone (can't remember who) found that real potato flakes (instant) mixed with the food would provide the carbs. Just a tid-bit.

Congrats on the reducie. I hope you get a nap today

 

Good morning , Lizzie I knew you'd be up at this time . I'm staying up to keep checking him for a bit but may just stay up til later AM . Have a good day at work

 

I'm testing at 8.5 which is now ...brb

 

+8.5...74 ...should I feed some LC ?? @carfurby

 

Don't feed and see if he keeps surfing on his own.

 

If you test a+9 I should still be on the board. I have to leave in about 45 minutes to go to work.

 

Thank you so much ,Carla Next test in 20 minutes.....Happy " Friday"

 

+9.....80. @carfurby Carla should I keep testing ?

 

How long has it been since you fed him last?

 

@carfurby And what should be my no shoot BG ?

 

Great job last night, try and get some rest

 

+7.5 fed last

 

He had 2 t HC gravy at +7.5

 

I think you are okay to stop testing and try to get a nap in. I think if he is under 150 you should skip the shot this morning. Of course there is a chance he will zoom up today, but you both need a break.

 

Thank you, Carla We shall see what happens today

 

Elmo. Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!

What. Did. I. Miss??????

Great job, everyone-- now get some sleep!!!!

 

AMPS 355. Will start new thread in a few
