Still shooting 2u due to the green numbers two days ago. I'm pretty shocked his bounce cleared in just one cycle, especially after not shooting yesterday morning.
My heart sunk when I tested for 53 half an hour ago. I never had a number this low. Usually around +4/+5 he becomes hungry again so I gave him some LC Fancy Feast (still saving the Gravy Lovers for emergencies), and 0.5 an hour later his BG was 63.
It's already 00:23am where I am and I'm looking forward to go to sleep.

My question is: Does food affect their BG for the rest of the cycle, or is there still a chance that it will drop again in a few hours? I'm not referring to the drop that's happening at +10 +11, I know that's something different if I understood all of this correctly by now...
I set a clock for 2:45 to check his +8. Is that the right approach?
 
Higher carbs can wear off in around two hours. Since you gave low carb food, it's not as much of a worry. But we still like to see two rising tests without influence of food before calling it a night. Maybe test in an hour, and if he's still rising, you can call it a night.

Do you mean that if his BG went by +10 from 53 to 63 with just low carbs food, then it's safe to assume it will be alright?
Just trying to fully understand what you meant by that.
 
53 and 63 are not far apart. The low carb food may or may not have done anything, but at least he didn't go down after you gave the low carb at that 53. That 63 was the first test after you gave the carbs. Now you want to get a second test where his BG numbers are rising, before you stop testing. If you had given high carb food (the gravy lovers), more monitoring would be required. You would have to wait to at least two hours after giving HC to see if his numbers went back down when the HC wore off.
