Hi Sheila, Minky is definitely needing less insulin these days. That’s so wonderful.
It looks like you would need to reduce her dose with that 57 today.

I would post with a ? And ask for dosing recommendation.

Also, please put Minky’s name in the title so everyone knows it’s your sweet girl we’re talking about. Hope you both have a safe and wonderful Friday.

Hi Sheila, Minky certainly took a dive today!

For continuity, here are the last posts: https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/warning-venting-and-i-have-the-flu.300141/#post-3265744 AND https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/amps-254-59-4-45.300047/#post-3264498

When posting you always want to copy the previous day's post's URL at the top of your post.

I hope you get an answer soon about a possible new dose recommendation! As Staci said, it looks like Minky's earned one.

It is really scary all these dives. How is your sweet Ivy?

I'm so sorry! I hope you begin feeling better soon. The flu is awful!

 

[Sheila and Minky]

I need help with dosing as well are at her evening dosing and she is at 140. If i give a .25 I am afraid she is really going to tank like she did this morning.

Please put “Dose Help” in your title so you can get help for tonight. I think you will want to give a reduction for tonight Sheila.

 

[Angela & Cleo]

That lime today earned Minky a reduction. Your new dose is 0.1 unit.

Now tonight, can you monitor? Do you have ample testing supplies and a hypo kit?

 

[Marielle]

Here is the sticky that shows a picture of the .1u on a syringe, in case you need it, Sheila.

[Sheila and Minky]

Thank you. Yes, I can monitor tonight.

 

[Angela & Cleo]

Do you feel comfortable giving Minky's new dose of 0.1 units?
Start with a +1 and post. That should give an idea if a bounce is starting or another active cycle

So true! I never tire of seeing a kitty get with the regulation program! Looks like Minky read the book and is on his way there.

What do you mean with a +1 and post?

 

[Angela & Cleo]

What do you mean with a +1 and post?

Get a test one hour after giving the shot and let us know what it is. If similar to your pre shot number it could mean you will have an active cycle and maybe we can steer the numbers with certain carb % snacks.

 

[Sheila and Minky]

Okay, I just fed her some of normal low carb food because she looked at me like she needed food.

 

[Sheila and Minky]

If the numbers are similar why would maybe be an active cycle and what does that mean?

 

[Angela & Cleo]

It's better explained in this sticky here under Active cycle
https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/the-basics-new-to-the-group-start-here.18139/

Typically Lantus onsets (starts to bring down the BGs) around +2 (two hours after the shot). When we get a +1 and the number is a lot higher than the pre shot number, then kitty is probably starting a bounce. Getting a +1 can also show us how much of a food bump causes the numbers to rise. If +1 is the same, or lower than the pre shot, it could mean an active cycle and more testing is needed.

This is very helpful--thank you!!

Thats good. Maybe give a little snack of the regular LC food (like a tsp) and get another test around +3?
