Well I’m still up but dunno how much longer. I’ll grab a +4 and feed him his bedtime snack and head to bed. It’s good as I want him in low greens but then the dosing decision gets harder.

Yeah, I’m up anyway and will gladly chill with you. Hamilton is bouncing himself from a weird low, so I’m in the same boat. Though, Hamilton curves with a bit more mercy than Silver, so I’m lucky there. So far, it looks like Silver’s doing his typical food spike. Maybe he’ll start coming back down in the next hour or so.

Gosh, you’ve got a tough case! Perfect call on the reduction, but don’t judge the dose before he clears this bounce. Give him 24-48 hours and be as patient as you can manage. You’ve got this!

Yeah him nadiring at preshot is a horrible time to nadir.
 
Compared to your other green preshot cycles, those numbers look normal/similar.
It could be Silver's version of a bounce or that he sees a later onset along with a later nadir.

I hope I am not faced with 50 at AMPS. I likely will want to skip.
 
And just a note to all, communicating over text is sooo hard and I completely understand the hurt people can feel when it seems like someone is dismissing the help you’re offering out of the goodness of your heart. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Juliet isn’t intending to be dismissive and sometimes it can be hard to list all the reasons why the suggestion might not apply. I’ve also noticed she’s been under stress at work and home and her frustration with Silver’s numbers is understandable. He’s a super tough case. No one told Silver the rules.

Hang in here with us, if you can. And try and read her posts with a contemplative tone more so than dismissive. It is truly a cultural divide.

Must go to bed now it’s 10:45 and I am up at 5:45am. Fed him a full can of low carb FF instead of his usual 1/4 can at bedtime. Hopefully raise him for the next three or four hours and I’ll be up in seven hrs. Best I can do to keep him safe.
 
Juliet:

With regard to the PM cycle on 2/20, I suspect that the 50 at PMPS may have been when numbers were on the rise. Unfortunately, when we have to work in order to afford strips, there's no way to know just how low numbers go when we're not home. As others suggested, what you saw may have been a bounce.

The other possibility was that Silver happened to have a late nadir. It can help to remember that while a cat's nadir may routinely be at a particular time, it may not always be at that time. Gabby's nadir was typically at around +3 -- except when it wasn't. Our kitties tend to like to keep us guessing!

Actually his preshot is his lowest. I already know this. He won’t have gone lower than 50.
