Last night Mogee's PMPS was 378. At +6 he was 77. A drop of 300.

He has been on 3 units for a little over a week now and usually only drops about 150 total from PS.

This morning he was 246 at AMPS. At +3 he was 247. An hour later at +4, he dropped down to 134. 100+ points in one hour.

I'm having a hard time understanding why he dropped so much last night and this morning.

Any advice or does anyone see something in my spreadsheet that I am missing?

Happy New Year to you all!

Maybe his pancreas is waking up for the new year. :)

Sorry, was going to add that. Absolutely no changes in eating. I rotate Fancy Feast Classic flavors but that's all. He gets two cans in the AM and two in the PM, split into four meals. Has eaten about 3/4 of his AM and PM food, which he always does.

Also, his urine output has returned to normal. That happened around the switch to all wet but I now kniw for sure that has returned to normal.

We were having those low PS last week but that subsided. I have stuck with the three units and he has been going from about 260-300 PS to about 140-170.

Just found it really strange he fell that low last night when he has only been falling about 100-150 BG from his PS. I guess it's possible the PMPS was a misread last night and maybe wasn't that high?

And then this morning he fell that 100 points from +3 to +4. And I just tested at +4.5 and he's at 114.

I like that number but it's just strange to me how he only drops a little some nights and then a bunch others when everything has stayed the same.

Worries me as I go back to work again tomorrow and am worried he may drop 300 points in the AM when I'm not there. If he's 280 PS, we know what a drop like that will do.

But at the same time, I would hate to reduce his dose to only go backwards? Ugh.

Nice cycle so far! Here's hoping for another great preshot tonight

It might help you to get snag some 'in the door' BG tests at +10 / +11 when you get back from work. Mogee's getting some really good duration and it might help ease some of your worries if you can get a better picture of when he starts rising before the next preshot. All data is good data! :)
