Well, my xanax has almost kicked in.....yesterday was quite a wonderful day for Webber. He spend almost the whole day in the greens (<100 BG). Amazing. However this morning his AMPS BG was only 89. While this is really excellent news and everything that we are all working towards, I wasn't quite sure what to do as far as shooting. I didn't want to lose all the progress we have made by not giving a dose. Last night I was fully prepared for his to drop too low and run around getting all my supplies. I got more strips, some HC (high carb) food with gravy (in case his BG drops <40)......Last night he did GREAT! Don't think he ever dropped more that 60 and it help over this morning!!
I went with my gut and shot his full dose of insulin. I pray that I will not pay for it later. Unfortunately I do have to go to work today but I am going to be a little late so that I can get a +1 (1 hour after shot) before I leave. I am also comtemplating letting my director know what is going on. She has had pets with diabetes as well and understand what I am dealing with. Yet, I don't want her to think this is going to become the norm. It is just that this morning is unchartered waters for Webber and I. I am afraid not to be here and monitor him for a few hours.
I will check in later with how things so and whether or not I choose to tell my director why I may be really late.
Well Webber's day cycle was absolutely perfect! He surfed the 70's all day and allowed me to test his BG every hour for 8 hours. So tonight when I tested his PMPS BG and got 86 I decided to go ahead shoot a full dose again. I am prepared to see how long this run can go. I got so nervous after 1 1/2 hours that I tested and was surprised to see a 125. I admit I was relieved to see a higher number; that meant that I could relax and not worry so about him dropping too low. He ate good and I gave him some new treats that I got as well. The treats a freeze dried chicken pieces. All the kitty's love it! I waited to test again at +3 and it was 154. Now I am embarrassed to admit that I am sad. I knew that today's wonderful cycle could not continue to last. Oh this sugar dance is roller coaster for my emotions too! I am so sensitive to begin with and just seem to go back and forth with how I feel about Webber's numbers. I am hoping that he will gradually drop back into the greens tonight,
I would never want to say this on the message board because there are so many other momma beans on there that are dealing with much worse numbers and are feeling even more frustrated than I am. So, that is why I blog. This way I get to vent all my thoughts and emotions to just get it out of my system!!!
He is more active right now which makes me happy, but ....ok I am just going to say it.....Damn Webber come back down please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Present: This blog will be a combination of feline health posts, pictures etc. The Past: This is my blog of Webber's journey with feline diabetes. We hope that this journey for my sugarbaby will not last long. We hope that with diet and a short bout of strict insulin injections he will conquer it all!
