Getting numbers settled.

Well Tara it can happen that numbers drop later in the cycle that's why a lot of people on here told me to test twice (when I wanted to give the shot earlier than 12 hours) if the number is rising, just to make sure

 

Ok so just do the pmps then? Or do the 2 tests prior to giving it?

 

Oh! I see I didn't know that could happen I thought they just went down 'nadir' then came back up again after that. Thank you for explaining I was confused

 

310 pmps. Think I'm ok to give?

She's begging to eat something lol

 

Yes you can give her some nice foodies!!! Haha

 

Lol she ate just over a pouch of food in one go. Poor thing she was up on her table and then down and up again asking. Shot 0.25 again

 

Omg sounds so cute, althought I bet she didn't find stalling her food soooo cute
She is adorable Tara ! Love that pic. She is a little fluffy right, long hair! Super cute

 

Haha nope she wasn't amused

Thank you love her to the moon and back! Here she is helping me out today with a garland show order lol always on quality control!

 

+3 @8.1 it's blue which is great. but not sure if I'm gonna get that whole nights sleep I promised myself.

 

That's not a huge drop. Maybe she'll surf along awhile.

 

I hope so Sue but will check her in an hour to be sure, she's liking the blues more and more!

Definitely think the new food is helping! Hooray!

 

Tara, doing great!
After looking at Tempest's SS I can see that yesterday's dose of 0.25 u was too small and on the same BG on the 11th the 0.5 u dose was too much. This could indicate that a dose in between those numbers might be tried. You could stick with 0.25 u for some time or try 0.37 u. If you're not sure how to do it let's ask some clever members to guide you through, my brain is still not quite awake.
Last night pink number was just higher due to not enough insulin. If, however it was a bounce from an early drop into blue number you can ignore that because it is normal, in the situation like that you either keep 0.25 u for few more cycles to see what will happen or just slightly up the dose if you can monitor and if kitty is eating well.
Let's see if other girls would agree with that.

 

Super gorgeous girl with blue eyes! Sorry I referred to her in previous posts like she was a he.

Always on quality control!!!

 

I'm delighted but I think it's a no shot morning as she's @214 this am? The freestyle lite strips test a couple of points higher so I think she's probably a little lower than that.

So is it no shot? Or 0.25u? I'm at work all day today so getting home at lunch could be a problem depending on how busy it is.

I'm going to go ahead and order the other syringes as well I think if she keeps this up!

Oh sorry about my photography skills - it was bad lighting her eyes are green

 

Sorry Tara, did not see your post on time.
You can skip the shot if you are not at home.

 

Sorry Tara! It was the middle of the night for me when you posted. Looks like you skipped?

 

Good thing you didn't gave a shot this morning, 214 is on the edge of shot/no shot and since you just started out you don't need to push yourself and then go to work all day and be worried all day if she's doing okay.
If you need help in the mornings please tag Marlena or me, we are more in your timezone and Rachel and Sue are in the middle of the night then so they aren't really around then.

 

No worries @Rachel I didn't give a shot.

I had decided on 250 & under as no shot as she's unpredictable as yet. looks like I made the right choice. I'm home now but no time to do her bg as only have 5 Minutes but she's having some lunch and seems grand.

 

No problem, because she didn't have insulin it doesn't really matter what her BG is doing right now, it's definetely not dropping because off no insulin.
I'm curious to see what her PMPS is!

 

Me too! Lol hoping it's not back to red!

 

Well, and if that happends then what? You know how to bring her down
You are doing really well Tara!

 

Lol just hoping she stays in the yellows but I know that's just wishful thinking. I doubt ant kitty would respond that quickly to insulin.

 

When are you going to test again? What time?

 

I'm just eating dinner at the moment so will test in 30 - 45 minutes which means I have a 15 minute window to feed her and get ready if she needs her shot. Or I need advice.

 

Okay, hope you are having a nice dinner Tara! I bet Tempest is watching you eat it haha
Well I will watch your thread within 30-45 minutes to see if you needs some help.
Btw please after this next shot start a new thread because this one is getting pretty long..

 

She was much easier to do tonight - probably coz she wanted dinner lol I've started a new thread
