I learned a lot yesterday but situation a little different. I just gave her a couple tsp of mc food, not sure about adding karo syrup. This was lower than any #'s from yesterday and getting close to 50. This is also at a time she should be rising. Sorry, but I need some guidance.

She went up to 83 after eating. Since she pretty much grazes, go forward with her lc food? Sorry, I am just not sure enough to know what to do. Don't feed and see if she rises on her own? Like so many I am sleep deprived and not dealing with a full deck.:confused::arghh:

Hi Adrienne! Sorry no one has checked in - let me check your SS and see I can be of help in guiding the feeding part.
 
Did you feed Dolly at +7 when she got the 60? Just curious if she was rising on her own or not.

Okay, gotcha! Great work - that surfed her nicely to the 80s. Are you comfortable with her there? I would personally recommend LC from here on out since she's in the second half of the cycle. Since you fed at +7.75, I think you'd be good test again at +9. If you're feeling anxious, test at +8.5 - but unless she's dropped, I'd just feed small LC snack up until +10.

What do you think? I will stick around and can check back in for your next test.

Sounds perfect. Thank you so much.

About 35 minutes. Her shot this am was at 7:50. Since her shot was late yesterday I am trying to get her back to her normal time, 7am & pm.

Gotcha. I'm sure you may know this but you just want to adjust your shot time by 30 minutes in a 24 hour period - so change one shot by 30 minutes or change each shot by 15 until you get back to your desired shot time.

We also want to make sure your +10 is 2 hours before your adjusted shot time so she has a fasted PMPS.

I will make her +10 at 5:30 so her pmps is 7:30. Does that sound okay? That would make her +10 just 40 minutes after her +9.

She's dropped to 64 for her +9
 
@tiffmaxee - Adrienne may need help at shot time if you are around then. Dolly's in nice numbers but doesn't look like Adrienne's shot this low, definitely not in PM. I know a lot can change between now and then :)
 
For future reference, you don’t want to adjust your +10 time - +10 is still +10 but you do want to make sure you remove the food two hours before you are going to shoot which may be earlier than +10

Nice job ladies :cat:

Looks like your Dolly is getting with the program :D

Oh good point - I was worried about picking up the food :)

Does everyone feel awful about all the poking? All the drama? She’s so incredibly good about it and somehow that makes me feel worse.
 
Lol you’re just a softy I think, focus on the good you’re doing for her. I thought I was going to vomit the first time I tested Vyktor but I soon realised he wasn’t fussed so I got over it pretty quickly.
 
So we're at 2 hours before shot time, right? I'd say a teaspoon of MC now as her last snack before PMPS.
 
I'd also plan to get a test 30 minutes before your shot to see if you need/want dosing advice. I'll leave it to the more experienced folks for that - @Vyktors Mum, will you be around in 2 hours? I've also tagged Elise to check-in.
 
I’m just looking now. She needs to eat between now and+2. Leave the food out and see what she does.

She ate a little. Had a lot to eat today. She’s such an Angel. I hope I don’t have to bother you, or anyone, tonight. I also hope she gets her numbers in a healthy range. Have a wonderful evening, what’s left of it. I am so grateful for all of your help and support. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
You aren’t bothering me. I do have to check messages to see what’s happening. My iPad isn’t on all the time. I will look in. I hope it’s an easy night.

I desperately need some sleep. I didn’t test her past 2am but was up every hour, we slept in the living room. She ate more. She’s at 154 - +2.5. How often do you think tonight? +6 and ...
 
It’s hard to say what she will do. How about leaving out some mc. Will she eat if she’s dropping? I would get a +4 and if not too low leave out food and go to sleep

Just finding out she will eat gravy anything, never had it before. I leave food out every night but she rarely ever eats it, she is a social eater, I have to sit with her 90% of the time. I will check her at 4.5 and see where’s she’s heading. I think if I put mc out now she will eat it all “now”. Would hate to see her get too high. I hope these last two days are a sign of something good. Have a good nights sleep and thank you, I can’t say that enough. :bighug::bighug:
PS: I hope no 911’s :nailbiting:
