Short and sweet:
1. no full dose if you're not home - maybe a token of 0.5 u?
2. hindsight: it would have been better to increase from the fat 1 u to either 1.5 u or 1.75 u max - the jump to 2 u was too big.

the SS shows 1.75U. Which one is it?
182 as a food spike looks much better than the Red you got yesterday Am cycle!
Are you able to take the +2 test? It'll tell you if she is indeed going up or if she has planned an active day for you.

I'm having a hard time deciphering Chuck's SS. You feed him throughout the day? And what are all the plusses for?

One suggestion: given the stress this AM it would have been wise to test Chloe's BG as soon as you arrived home after work. Then with the PMPS test you'd have some indication of how she's doing in the last few hours of the cycle. Add to that a before bed test every night and you'd have some decent work day data.

I like Kris' suggestion!
Another suggestion is . . . test earlier in the AM. I'm not exactly sure what @Djamila does, but I know she generally wakes earlier to test then goes back to bed and gets a second test in before leaving for work to ensure Sam is safe.
It is harder to do--I agree, and even I would struggle with it, but if it was needed I'd get my behind in gear and suck it up.
I think you just need to develop a testing pattern and follow through. Eventually it will be second nature.

Even I have a hard time making any sense of his SS.
Yes Chuck gets ove big meal (4oz) at shot time and then about half an ounce of pate for 3 snacks at the same time every cycle. Sometimes he skips a snack or two butt that's ok.
The + is usually me showing the real time I tested him. If it's not on the dot. This is really for my own sanity.
But Chuck's food spikes are obvious on most days. If you look at around +2 or +3 you'll see he's almost always higher than his preshot. Just wanted to reassure you that it happens. It still happens when he's on good ideal dose for that period of time too.
