? 9/19/20 Mouse AMPS 62, +1 71, +2 51, +3 62, +4 55

[Polgeria]

So I'm 2 hours late for her shot. I haven't given it to her yet, I totally slept through all my alarms for it.

With her AMPS at 62, 2 hours past the time that the last shot wore off, I interested in seeing how she does today without her shot. What are your opinions on that? I think I actually got enough sleep that I'm going to be able to stay awake for monitoring this time.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

With TR you can shoot any number over 50. She seems to have flattened out quite a bit these days and you have shot the 60s before.

I would say go for it if you are home to monitor her.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

ETA: When I said go for it, I meant go for the shot. Any reason you are thinking of skipping?

 

[carfurby (GA)]

If you can monitor, and have plenty of supplies, you should shoot so you don't lose momentum. Keep in mind you'll need to be able to work you way back to your normal shot time by moving the shot in one 30 min. increment per day or two 15 min. increments. If you shoot, you'll want to get a +1 and a +2 and keep your subject line updated.

 

[Polgeria]

She's been really lethargic the last few days, which is why I dropped her dose. I think she's been dropping below 50 when I've been unable to monitor her.

 

[Polgeria]

Alright, I'll get her shot in, thank you you for the feedback!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

A reduction would be better than skipping doses. Go down to 0.25 if that makes your more comfortable. You can always increase if her numbers trend higher.

 

[Polgeria]

I'll stick with the .5 to make sure there isn't any new dose wonkyness going on

With NDW, numbers go up with a dose increase. This usually happens in cycle 2 or 3 after the increase.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Good idea. You test a lot so will catch any drop. Let the reduction be earned and there’s a better chance it will stick.

 

[Polgeria]

+1 is food boosted. It was time for her snack, since her breakfast was at 7 am.

 

[tiffmaxee]

It was tiny food boost if that with meter variance. I think you will need to test a lot. Another lc snack is fine.

 

[Polgeria]

Yeah, it was a small snack. I'll be testing throughout the day. I'm about to grab a +2 now

 

[Polgeria]

+2 51. I'm going to give her some high carb food. I think tomorrow's dose will be the .25. I'm glad I picked up some calipers

space out the food so that she doesn't get too full to eat if you need her to later in the cycle. there's always honey/karo for when she won't eat any more.

Just giving her a spoonful, she gets super bouncy when she sneaks the high carb stuff on her own, even just a few licks. As entertaining as that is, we don't need that

 

[tiffmaxee]

Add a little mc please since close to 50 and it’s early. Tge okd depot is in play and I would have reduced by .50.

I did high carb, we don't really have and mc in the house yet. It's either 0 carb, low carb, (3-6 ff) or high carb. So I do a half spoon full of HC

 

[tiffmaxee]

That’s fine. What % is your hc ? You just need more than lc.

 

[Polgeria]

It's 15% the FF gravy lovers chicken. I also have a 22% one that isn't on the chart we have here.

 

[Polgeria]

ETA: I'm saving the 22% one for a severe drop in BG

 

[tiffmaxee]

I considered 15% as mc unless carb sensitive.

 

[Polgeria]

I considered 15% as mc unless carb sensitive.

Other than her getting really hyper off a few bites of it, she's not really sensitive to it. As in her glucose isn't affected too much. Her personality is though.

I guess I considered it high carb coming from a zero carb diet. She's going to be transitioning to the FF LC though, since the tiki cat is getting too expensive to keep feeding to 4 cats.
