Hoping for some quick guidance today. After all the likes last night should I give a reduced dose of 0.5u or just skip?

I won’t be able to monitor

Thanks!
 
Well he's definitely earned a reduction.. I see on your SS that he was 47 and then 45 but it looks like the last two nights have merged together? Just my view of it???

I'd give a reduced dose and leave down plenty of higher carb foods for him to snack on today. Do you have an auto feeder?
 
I added a row to last night for the +0.5’s top is full hour and bottom is half hour

I don’t have an auto feeder

Higher carbs like? MC or actual HC?

Maybe a mix of both - you'll want to carb him up if he's going low...how many carbs do you have? 21% + 15% type of foods?
 
I have some 12 and 15% I wasn’t going to shoot the full 0.75 until tonight so that I could drain the depot.

I’m thinking 0.5u and leave out 12%?

Or else just skip this morning due to an overfill 1u depot

At this point I think it’s too late for a +1

I think I'd go with Wendy's suggestion and skip this morning to drain the depot since you had to work to get him to come back up last night. I'd leave some food out for him to make sure he's safe.

Yes I think I will do that. I’ll just skip and give normal LC
just took a +0.5 and no movement really so I’m going to feed Mowgli before he has a coronary

Where’s my fudz mom?
 
I had no dosing advice,Amanda, just tons of empathy:bighug: Our boys had us both up last night ...hope you were able to get some sleep:bighug::bighug:

Oh WOW Amanda! Mowgli is putting you through your paces tonight. Elmo decided to surf too and we're trying to get his numbers up so Beth can go to bed. How are you doing?

Dosing wise, I think I'd hold judgement on tomorrow AM until you see if he bounces or not from this long run of green.

Sorry I didn’t reply Linda, I didn’t think anyone was following so I just went on with testing but not posting. Mowgli came up a bit around +6 and I couldn’t stay awake any longer so I bailed and went to bed. Thanks so much for popping by and being there for Beth and I :)

No bouncing so far which I find really surprising honestly.

The third option is the 0.75 unit dose in the AM if he bounces.

Can you monitor tomorrow, or no?

You could post for help in the morning and hope for a quick answer. With so much lime tonight, I wouldn’t want to shoot even a BCS and run out the door. Depot looks rather full. :eek:

I decided to skip this morning, I’d like to start fresh with his new dose. Thanks for the advice last night. I had just missed you !

These boys of ours eh!? I ended up hitting the hay around Midnight. I wanted to get one more test but I was struggling to stay awake. 5.75hrs is workable ;)

How about you!? You’ve been having a LOT of later. Nights with Elmo!
 
No worries Amanda. I just wanted to let you know I was there if you needed any help. I figured you were OK and might have crashed when I noticed you weren't signed on anymore. :D

ETA I think it was a good idea to drain the depot this AM given no bounce!
 
It reminds me of preteen pj parties and college finals all nighters all rolled into one :woot: But at least I get to be home today. How do you do it?!?!

Thanks Linda! I’m glad you understand and I’m happy you were there for me... even if I wasn’t there :P

It’s tempting to go for giving Mowg a dose but really... I don’t have the data on Him that makes me comfortable to try at these numbers. I’m definitely happy to have skipped this morning.

LOL totally!! max slumber party time... no slumber allowed :P

I’ll be honest... I’m struggling today ;) :coffee::coffee: TR is a trial right now for me... I need to figure out if it can work for me while I’m working. If not I might return to SLGS. I just wanted to at least give it 1-2 months to see how we go :)
 
what seems to be working for me, when I can't stay awake to test, I have some Temptations catnip-mix treats left over, I give him one, or maybe two, with a generous supply of LC food, seems to carry him over -- don't know what the carb % is on those treats, but earlier someone (chime in if it was you) told me that the solid food takes longer to onset, longer to digest, so I'm using those to keep the BG up over the nadir time which is usually 2 to 3 hours later than bedtime .. this if he's verging on green already at +2.5 or +3 ...

Once you have more data on shooting green Mowgli, it will become easier. Mowgli is responding really well to TR. :D Data plus knowing what food to leave out are what will keep him safe. I would stay away from Temptations and other high carb treats.

Have a great day Amanda! At least you don't have to worry about Mowgs - he's probably at home with his feet up, having a snooze :)
Click to expand...
Thanks Sue! I’m relieved that I don’t have to worry about him... but I definitely wish I had more data so I could have been a little more confident this morning :). It will come with time ;)

He’s definitely having the time of his life at home. Little trouble maker :P

Thanks for the tip Candy!! I think I need to definitely get a better grip on what I have in the cat cupboard :)

Mowgli really is! I’ve always mentally struggled with taking reductions on SLGS when I can tell a dose is just about to work. This is the major benefit in my kind of TR. I just wish I had a little more flexibility in my work schedule so I didn’t have to worry too much.
 
That's a pretty good PMPS there Mowgli--especially since you skipped! Now start working that decrease to 0.75 :)

Mowgli's PMPS wasn't bad at all considering you didn't shoot this morning. Good luck with .75!

Thanks JJ I’m very satisfied and relieved he’s not in a rocket right now :)

Not bad right!? I hope Mowgli listens to you!!
carfurby said:
Not bad at all for the skipped shot. It will be interesting to see where he is in the morning.

Ditto! I have been very surprised that we aren’t seeing bouncing. That being said, Mowglis past bounces may be being caused by his history of insane pm drops rather than the actual spending time in lower numbers.
 
Right back on track :D :D

I hope he isn’t too low tomorrow am, but at least the weekend is coming
