My kitty's PMPS is 131. We are 15 minutes out from his shot time, but his Lantus dose is 5 units! He has been regularly averaging 400s PS, and barely dipping into the 250s +6 This is our lowest number to date since his diagnosis. Please help! I don't know what dose to give him, but what I am sure of is that his normal 5 units is way too much right now
Do you have a Spreadsheet? I'm not comfortable trying to give advice without seeing the other numbers...I'm sorry. If you need help getting one set up please edit your title and ask for help. Here are the instructions for copying the SS and getting started. https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/fdmb-spreadsheet-instructions.130337/
I’m so sorry Christina but without a spreadsheet showing his numbers and history, in particular how he got to 5U, we are blind as to be able to offer the right advice for him in his circumstances. That being the case the only advice I could offer is to skip for safety, and I’m really hoping he has no history of ketones when I say that. Please complete your signature amd add his spreadsheet (available in the tech forum) as soon as you can so we are able to help you better in future
Hi Christina! This is Chris Ronkoski from the Feline Diabetes Facebook group. I agree with the others. Since we don't know anything about your cat or how you got to 5 units, the best thing to do is skip this shot. If you want some help setting up a spreadsheet, feel free to send me a PM either on Facebook or here. I set them up for people all the time so it's no trouble at all! It's always better that the cat be too high for a day than too low for a moment!
Good job Christina!! Just one thing....On your spreadsheet, you need to change the permissions so we can see it. Top right "Share"....then when the new box pops up, along the bottom there's a place to change to "anybody with the link can view"
Hi Christina, I stopped by again to see if I could review your numbers - but your SS is not shared. Perhaps tomorrow? I know it's a lot to get going here on the forum...have a good evening!
I have just started a spread sheet for Shadow. We are testing every hour today. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...qINaYe9DaGX9l2fxyPxEQasi9R8/edit?usp=drivesdk I hope I did this right!
I can see your SS now, good job! No need to keep testing every hour , he is already at +2 = 463, but if you have test data from before today that you can enter, even the past 2 weeks, that would be ideal. Just to help with what to suggest for dose going forward.
I would just get a before bed test. It looks like he’s bouncing from being low for him. Welcome to the best place for a diabetic cat.
