I ended up skipping because I didn’t want to mess up her schedule too much. I also think she’s sensitive to any time changes - like not a minute past 15 minutes in her shot time…
Eh I'd consider that flat and within variance. What you have to remember is that she'll start to climb again before the shot would onset. And the drops are not the same in these lower numbers as they are in higher. Chances are if you had done 4 other tests strips at PMPS you'd have had a smattering ranging from 50-60.
So just for safety reasons and I would also say to keep TR straightforward, we do not allow it to be customized. Someone with more knowledge can chime in about possible revisions, but it actually originally comes from a German forum. But honestly, I see TR work so well in so many cats I don't see a huge need to revise it in any way.
If the lower numbers make you uncomfortable, you can instead either customize SLGS, or just go completely custom dosing. But either way, we would want your "parameters" specified - what number you'd take reductions at, what numbers you'll shoot, etc. The most important thing is consistency in whatever you choose to do (and cat safety goes without saying!).[/QUOTE
even though she was dropping as the insulin wore off? That’s what worried me- her +11 was 63 and PS was 52
I know when the numbers are below 100 there’s less of a variance in numbers vs if it was in the 200s
I did feed her LC at +9 because she was meowing and chewing up tons of paper which she does when she’s nervous. I had 3 more hours till food time and she was crying to me
This is what I was saying last night. We do not customize TR (unless the cat has an underlying condition that requires it, like acromegaly), but you can customize SLGS.
Correction, it is under 50 that you don't shoot at that time. It is not an automatic skip. You can delay and see if the cat comes up. With Neko I only needed a 10-15 minutes delay and she would come out of the 40's to a safe shootable number.
That is not clear. Either she was flat or within meter variance, or it is possible that what you saw was a Lantus double dip where they do a little downward curve at the end of the cycle.
I see many times this year where preshot was a lot lower than the previous preshot. Both AM and PM it happens. That looks like a normal Mimi trend. So I took a look at the first part of 2021 spreadsheet, same thing. 2/1/2021 you shot a 55 and I saw other times you shot low 60's and 70's. But sometimes you also skipped. This year the trend is that you are skipping mostly below 70. Maybe you need to start those 60's when you can monitor, and get your confidence back. You have done it before safely and have the data from last year.
