    Re: Annie - Getting too smart!

    it would have been interesting if you gave a normal dose and see a drop after food the opposite of normal which may lead you to believe that maybe that early rise maybe something outside of food and maybe on occasion this spike may happen before food giving you those odd high fasting numbers

    it does appear annie can handle a huge drop then stabilize quite impressive her body does seem to do quite well balancing things out

    glad she is back to normal i bet she enjoyed that jerky

      I think I remember someone else having a problem with Jerky in particular.

      Glad she is back to normal.

      She was a courageous Boston Terrier who marched right on through diabetes, megaesophagus, and EPI until 14.
      Lucky for both of us we found each other. I'd do it all again girly.

        I think I understand your suggested test. I'm pretty sure it is a food rise. With only "N", she will jump 100+ in less that an hour. I admit that the rise frequently starts an hour or two prior to a meal (insulin running out?), but because "N" takes several hours (in Annie) to start, I still call it a food rise.

          i think the best part about it is the dependability day in day out i wish jesse could be as consistent as annie but we adjust to different fastings to keep her in a good range

            I don't have the package the jerky came in, but I've noticed many "human" jerky recipes contain brown sugar or honey.

            I gave a small piece, slightly smaller than a credit card, and the time could have been shortly before the insulin peak. Don't know if I can blame the jerky.

              Glad she's back to normal today Craig She really does handle the R adjustments well.

              Ali can get overlap going if I adjust too much with her Humalog because the N essentially doesn't have to work so hard and lasts longer.

                Well, it has happened again! Annie seems to have had an afternoon snack of Fruit Blend Flavor cockatiel bird food yesterday.

                Some may remember a year ago, Annie got into the bird food and had high BG readings. Then there was the time Molly, the cockatiel, seemed to be chucking food out of her cage down to the waiting Annie: team work! We've been storing the bird food on a high shelf to keep it away from Annie, but apparently not high enough!

                Late yesterday afternoon Annie threw-up (very unusual) and when we were cleaning up the mess, I noticed the bird food / seeds! Quickly found the open bag of bird food next to Molly's cage. Somehow Annie got the bag off the shelf, and removed the big spring clip that keeps the bag closed.

                This was about an hour before the usual meal time, she tested a little over 400. Pretty much back on schedule this morning with a 133 reading. We are now storing the bag of bird food in a tubberware (spelling?) container with a tight lid.

                KIDS!

                  oh my its amazing how she gets into these situations very enterprising

                  her numbers always seem to bounce back to normal very quickly she is a very well regulated girl with a desire for bird seed

                  she may have been a bird in her other life

                  glad things are back to normal but i dont know if you can ever stop her from figuring new ways to get into things very smart girl

                            Annie must figure your meters needed a workout! She is a smartie!

                              Not sure what it is about dogs, and bird food, but they just love. One of the reasons why I use millet to Abby's advantage.... if you can't beat them, join them.

                              Craig, you would mention occassionally that Annie would throw a high number, perhaps you know the reason why?

                                Since she is so well regulated I bet part of you was glad you could pull out all the meters and compare them in that range.
