Yesterday 8/17: https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-131-pmps-122-1-25-135-3-282-5-75-299.233743/

I was kind of surprised by the pinks this morning, but am I correct it was from having some blues yesterday since he’s not really used to blues much.

Should I have known that it wasn’t really safe to leave the house when he dropped from 328 @ +2.25 to 248 @ +4.5 or more like I should have only been away for 2 hours, not 4.5 hours! Running errands always takes longer than one imagines and at +9.5 he was 195.

I fed him 2 tsp LC at the AM +4 and the +9.5 of 195 and I was happy with his PMPS of 82, But again there’s 110 point drop in two hours...

I fed him his PM meal of raw and LC, and he continued to drop but I still felt okay about his numbers til he hit 43.

He’s on the rise now, but looks like I better eat some M & M’s and stay up till the food window passes. Once again I feel like I wasn’t proactive enough in testing and guiding him with food.

I’ll start a new condo for his next couple of tests as it will be after midnight.

Don't forget to reduce his dose tomorrow.....that 43 earned him a reduction!! Congrats!

Thanks for checking in on me and I’ll make a note to reduce his dose in the morning although he sure doesn’t hold reductions well in fact this is the advice I got from @Wendy&Neko on 8/13 and she follows Disco’s quirkiness pretty closely:
“Have you considered the technique of using multiple drops below 50 (3 between 40 and 49 on separate days) as a way to earn reductions? Or reduce immediately if under 40. That's what we do for cats that have a hard time holding reductions.”

Don't beat yourself up Teri! what's important is that you caught that # and kept Disco safe. We can't control life sometimes.
