8/23 Monty: AMPS 139, +1.5 74, +2 70, +2.75 77, PMPS 103, +1.5 108

[Tom & Monty]

Yesterday: 8/22 Monty: AMPS 121, +2 36, +2.25 75, +2.5 74, +2.75 64, +3 77, +3.5 76, +4 74, +5 85, +7 95

Monty looks to be on his bounce from the hypo yesterday, 153 is higher than usual for him. Today he begins his dose reduction to 1 drop.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yeah, probably a bounce. Let's see how he works that 1 drop dose.
If he breaks the bounce today, expect some downward momentum!

 

[Tom & Monty]

So I didn't inject earlier because I need to change my schedule today so I've delayed by 2 hours.

I just took a new AMPS and he's on 139. So he's come down 16 by himself with no insulin (no shoot last night). Should I still shoot his new dose of 1 drop?

 

[Tom & Monty]

I'm able to monitor up to 2.5 if I do shoot

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes, I think you should shoot the drop for a few days. Like @Wendy&Neko said, we can see if it gets rid of some of the blues.

If you are shooting 2 hours later, you can make it up half an hour every day - I think you already know this

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I'm able to monitor up to 2.5 if I do shoot

not after? will he eat if you leave food out for him?

 

[Tom & Monty]

Yeah I'll leave food out and he will eat it. If I'm concerned at all at 2.5 I'll change my plans and stay with him longer

 

[Bandit's Mom]

then go ahead and shoot him.

 

[Tom & Monty]

He's so close to OTJ trial

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes he is. YAY! Happy for you!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yeah I'll leave food out and he will eat it. If I'm concerned at all at 2.5 I'll change my plans and stay with him longer

Get a test before +2.5. Yesterday he dove at +1.5 itself, right?

 

[Tom & Monty]

I caught him diving at 2, I'll get a test at 1.5

 

[Bandit's Mom]

When did he last eat? At his original AMPS or again at shot time?
Maybe give him another snack at +1 to prevent any steep drops?

 

[Tom & Monty]

He ate at original AMPS and again just now. I'll give him more food in around an hour.

In general he's less hungry in AM than PM

 

[Bandit's Mom]

In general he's less hungry in AM than PM

Yes, that is true for Bandit too. I guess they are nocturnal creatures.
So when she goes low at night, I needn't worry that she won't eat to get her numbers up.

 

[Tom & Monty]

74@+1.5, that's a fast drop. Testing again in 30, giving snack

 

[Tom & Monty]

70@+2, still falling but not as quickly, I'll test again before I head out in 30 minutes and decide if it's risky to leave him.

 

[Sue and Luci]

You can always leave out some medium or high carb food if you have to leave for a while and he's still dropping.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

70@+2, still falling but not as quickly, I'll test again before I head out in 30 minutes and decide if it's risky to leave him.

74 and 70 are within meter variance. Will Molly eat the food you leave out for him?

 

[Tom & Monty]

77@AM+3, I think I'm fine to leave him, he's either stable or rising again.

I'll leave some food out now to graze and set his auto feeder to give a snack at +9

 

[Tom & Monty]

Will Molly eat the food you leave out for him?

They both have separate feeders programmed for their microchips only.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

If you can, it'd be good to feed him small meals a few times a day while he's on this smallest of doses. Paws crossed that +9 snack brings down his preshot. His blue this morning could also have been because of the skip last night.

 

[Tom & Monty]

PMPS 103, almost a green on his new dose

 

[Tom & Monty]

Got a feeding schedule worked out for each cycle.

1. 2/5 of food with injection
2. 1/5 of food at +2
3. 1/5 of food at +4
4. 1/5 of foof at +8
5. Feeder locks at +10
