Yes, it is tough to be patient but this could be a tad bit of NDW even though you barely increased. If you can hold on just a bit, we can then get him up to where he likely needs to be.

In the interim, try to get out or doing something fun that takes your mind away from the numbers and give him a pokey break until +9 or +10.

Thank you for checking back with Yoyo.
Some days I get more consumed with his numbers than other days. Today I am worried because his weight has dropped a few ounces and yet he is eating well. When his numbes were lower he had gained a few ounces back. He worries me because this is his lowest weight. When he was younger and healthier he was around 16lbs. Today he is 11.3lbs and he has been crying during the night and I am hoping it is because he doesn't have freedom to roam the house. Due to him only having 3 legs I need to know where he is while I am sleeping and he doesn't like that I keep him in the bedroom. But the crying has recently started, so I wonder if there is another health issue that needs to be addressed. I will call the vet tomorrow for an appointment.

I usually don't test at +9 or +10 but I was reading how those times are important and help one relate to the PS numbers. So I will start testing @+9 or +10. I am trying to learn more and more but it does get confusing when I really can't figure out Yoyo's SS. Sometimes his +2 numbers are much higher than his PS and then sometimes he drops a lot. I study his SS, but I don't see many patterns and this scares me if I ever want to try TR.
I was reading about TR to confuse myself even more. I am using SLGS because I am afraid of TR and shooting low numbers.

I guess for now I should stick with SLGS and see where his numbers go. When he does go below 90 using SLGS, do I have to reduce his dose like I did the last 2 times? Of course if his numbers get really low I would reduce his dose, but I was just wondering if I am allowed to modify the rules.

You should reduce the dose when he drops below 90 if you wish to continue with SLGS. Everyone is always scared to shoot their first green numbers. At the beginning, I said I’d never be able to shoot below 150 but I quickly learned to shoot above 50.

Remember that as low BG as you are testing and have HC food and/or syrup, you are in control.

Have they rechecked his thyroid lately to make sure his med is at the right dose?
