    Can you monitor as long as needed? Do you have plenty of test strips and hc, mc etc? Will likely keep dropping without food but grab one more test to see.

    would it make sense to feed him 5% instead of 2% as main meal?

    Feed a little higher carbs if there’s not a good food bump at +1.

    sorry I got a call and didn’t get back faster.

    we gave him 12g, which is abt a teaspoon, from 20g he usually bumps 18 points up

    If there’s another drop at +2, what other % carbs do you have?

    we would like to keep him over 90, it is too early for a reduction

    he's 92 @ 2 should we go with 19.5% or just 20g of 13%

    in the past 20g of 13% added another 18 points for abt 2 hours

    Are you following TR? Your ss says SLGS. With TR the reduction number is under 50.

    Don’t give higher carbs if following TR. Then let’s give a lc/mc mix this time.

    You dint want the higher carbs unless he drops close to 50. It’s early in the cycle so that’s why I suggested mc

    My pleasure. That early in the cycle cycle and new I would have still suggested mc. I would have said waiting an hour was fine and would have let you know 50 vs 90 but otherwise nothing would have changed.

    You are in good hands.

    I was looking for a thread this afternoon when I saw he had gone from black to yellow this pm. I thought you might see a blue PS, nice shooting.
    I had just got back in from walking the dogs when you posted, but had some work to do so I didn't come on the board.

    Seems like you 've managed to slow him down, nice he is back to green.

    the black surprised us in the morning and his progress was as well unexpected, we weren't prepared for such a low blue preshot

    i envy your walk, we were supposed to go after the PS :D but Chico decided otherwise

    Give him another mix of MC/LC , 77 is still a safe number.
    Test again in an hour.

    He spent over 24 hours in low yellow and blue. I thought that maybe had triggered a bounce last night.

    But tonight is also 6 cycles from the greens, perhaps even though he gave you those nice blue cycles he hadn't quite cleared the bounce completely and tonight is the definite bounce clearing cycle.

    It's not the first time he has thrown you a high number followed by 'surprise' drop in the following cycle.

    He is wearing his coat of many colours today.

    Just when we though we understood the bounces...

    yeah, that he likes: surprising us with values :D

    and no matter how many times i tell myself not to react to single values, the blacks and the reds are getting me disappointed

    but overall, we can clearly see he spends much less time in black and reds compared to caninsulin, maybe time helps as well but lantus is clearly more suitable for him. caninsulin had one advantage: the cycles we very easy to read: active cycle, bounce cycle, no connection between them : D

    he increased to 90 @4; can i feed 10g of 2%? the increase might be because of all the MC, right?

    If he usually gets a snack now feed him his regular snack of LC.
    Or if he doesn't usually, give him 1 TSP of LC to see if he will stay flat and surf for you


    He had the MC at +.5, I think that will have worn off by now.

    The rest of the time you gave a mix so it's more like higher LC so you don't need to worry about that.

    He usually gets a snack at this time, i can give him the 10g LC cause i need to give the probiotic with it.
    Can i check again in 1 hour or better in half?

    Your welcome. Last night you could have stopped testing at +5 or 6 because he was flat. I am sorry to didn’t come back and tell you to go to sleep. A good rule of thumb when flat green try going two hours without food and if still above 60ish you are safe. I hope you can catch a nap today. Nice blues so far today as well. :)

    LOL we probably would have stayed up anyway ))) but in the middle of the night we switched with my husband, he slept for the first part and then took over so it wasn't that bad :)

    but we will keep this information in mind for next time :)

    It’s scary until you know how he does with numbers under 100. I’m glad you both test. I had to do it alone. He’s looking good. Good job you two.

    honestly when we shot at 130 yesterday we were terrified if we did right or not, we are really not used to flat cycles so thanks for giving us the confidence to do it :)

    testing alone: you are my hero and so are all the other people that do that. in the beginning it took the 2 of us to hold him for tests, i can't imagine doing it alone when he was scratching and being upset...

    He probably will bounce at some point. But with that +1 this morning, he looks like he won't be bouncing just yet.
    Good shooting this morning.
