no i slept through last night. she was looking quite sorry for herself and i wasn't expecting anything dramatic so i thought i would give us both a night off. lesson learned i guess.
Yes. We should just wait for the evening shot now. It’s all right. We will get her back on track. At least we know she can have some lower numbers now. I understand this was unprecedented so far and all you can do is try to follow the guidelines in the absence of other advice. The goal is to gradually shoot lower numbers and that will happen. I am thinking she will bounce again now, unfortunately. She definitely broke the bounce last night.
She will be again, too!
i will do +2 and +4 at least tonight
i just relieved not to see red or black again this morning!
I hope not, but at least you didn’t give too much.
It’s always a good idea to check before you shoot. It’s one time it’s okay to be a little OCD. We’ve had a few people recently who shot more than they intended to.
Seriously! Those are very good signs. With a cat those sort of things are really important indicators of how they are feeling, as you know. I am very happy to hear that!and she has slept back in one of her favourite chairs the last few nights instead of on the floor where she has been sleeping but never slept until she was diabetic.
i'm encouraged by these small signs
i usually check it very thoroughly several times when i fill the syringe. then i take it to a different room to feed and shoot. I dont have a routine of checking it again before the shot. I will make sure to do that from now on.
That red is a little unexpected. She’s full of surprises though, so I don’t trust her not to drop on us. It’s always heartwarming when you get your cat back. Sometimes we forget how they used to behave until they start doing it again. We think it’s just old age that has made them change. And it’s surprising how you can see changes even before they are fully regulated on the insulin.
She’s on track for an increase. I am sure you have read the dosing methods. You test enough to safely follow the Modified ProZinc Method. If you do, we can go ahead and increase her by .25 at her next shot or tomorrow. We can then make adjustments to her dose a little more frequently, if needed - we can increase every 6 cycles instead of every 14 cycles.
ah. i was actually feeling mildly encouraged by the amps. its one of the lowest we've had yet! but i'm deducing from your emoji we should be looking for quicker progress. which would be wonderful
i've not read the modified method yet. I will check it out this afternoon.
yes i think i did mention she was having trouble with her back legs earlier. and shes getting quite wobbly now. when she is wobbly and looking everywhere for food she is quite scary to watch. i worry she is going to have an accident crashing of a table or kitchen worktop.
That’s good. She seems to be one of those cats who really makes it apparent when she feels better. Feel free to send photos of her any time It can take a few weeks see some progress with the Methylcobalamin and folate, but yes, you can buy any kind and give it to her. Are you mixing it into food or putting it into little capsules or what?
