Yesterday's thread!
Thanks again to the folks who coached me through that very strange day! I came home from book club after a couple glasses of wine and was like, "well, this isn't what I expected to happen...now what?" But Esse came right back up from that 109 all night, which makes me feel like a token dose maybe wasn't the right move, but as @Laurie & Petey mentioned, now we have that data. It was SUPER nice to see him have his regular personality back while he was in good numbers. We also checked the ketone meter and he was at 0.3, which is actually the lowest number we've seen for him so far.
As a side note, the husband of the friend who hosted book club this month has Type 1 diabetes and he was SO tickled to hear that cats (and dogs) can use human CGMs and take human insulin. They are big animal lovers as well so I showed him some pictures and told him about how the cat has his own phone so we can monitor. He uses a Dexcom and was joking that if one of their dogs had one too, they'd have to figure out whose alarms were going off if one of them went low, haha. At least that's one problem we won't have.
