If it were me and he was 100 or higher by PMPS, I’d shoot at 6:30. We are more cautious with brand new members. You aren’t ;):p

And if I shoot at 6:30pm this evening, Would I wait until tomorrow evening to move him back another 30 minutes?
I was trying to go back 30 minutes once per day.
 
Congratulations for shooting, what a great cycle he had, would have been such a waste to deprive him of that :cat::cat:

you did amazing, we all go crazy when we see these low PS for the first times, trust me :bighug::bighug:

Well I thought 6:30 was your normal shot time....that’s what I was trying to figure out so I can tell you how to do it.

March 23 shot time was 7:50am/7:50pm
March 24 shot time was 7:20am/7:20pm
Today am was given at 7:10am

If it is ok, I prefer to do at 7:00pm shot this evening and pick up tomorrow morning with going back by 30 minutes, which would be 6:30am/6:30pm for tomorrow.

Cherryl....third time...what is your normal shot time that you want to do every day?
Click to expand...

OH! I am working to get him to 4am/4pm

I can do the ten minutes early this evening to get us from 7:10 to 7:00
And tomorrow morning go back 30 minutes to 6:30/6:30
And do my 30 minutes back each day until I reach 4/4
As long as going back ten minutes this evening, it is still ok to do 30 minutes back in the morning.

You stalled four hours????? Once you get past two hours of stalling, skip. As you can see, it’s ridiculous trying to get back in schedule after more than two hours.

Your proposed schedule is good.

LOL NO NO!
My stall ended up being no stall and 10 minutes earlier than where we were ...
Because of the moving back each day, I was going to shoot 30 minutes early at 6:50am, but due to stall, shot was at 7:10am, which is ten minutes early instead of the 30 minutes planned.

He has been moving from a 7:50/7:50 backwards by 30 minutes each day but this morning he only got moved back by ten minutes, instead of 30 minutes.

I am not moving back due to any delay for shot.
I am moving back because I want an earlier schedule, so that I am not up so late waiting on +4 and +6.

I will do 10 minutes early this evening to get us on 7pm
And I will move him back 30 minutes tomorrow morning and each day until I reach our desired schedule.
That is unless we are interrupted by low numbers :D

I am going to stop testing until pmps.
I will start the title with PMPS, because it has gotten long.

Ok. We are headed out to work at the COVID vaccine POD so when I get home tonight, I’ll see if I can think of anything to help that along.
 
Nice surfing today :D If you haven't thought of it, I'd get a +10 incase you want to feed a last cycle snack and then an +11.5 so you have a preview of PMPS :bighug:

Well, I did not see this until now and we are coming up on pmps ...
He did get hungry and ate 3 tablespoons lc at +9.75. He did not get a meal meal all day today until +9.75.
I just hate that here we are about to do this all night long.
He is sick of being stuck in the ear. I am truly exhausted and needing sleep.
So, let me go get this pmps test and accept that there will be no sleep for me this day :D
I have a massive headache :(

Looks like he had a great day today!

Regarding your shot time, a suggestion for you - add another column to your SS after AMPS and PMPS and enter your time of day there...

you can even put at the top what your 'REGULAR' shot time is or will be - and then step back at each shot time by 15 minute increments - write it down so you'll see the track you're on.

Take a look at my SS - I had to do that a couple of weeks ago - one because I was late getting home one night and we got off schedule and then that blessed daylight savings time...and that happens twice a year....I would drive myself crazy trying to figure it out every day - I just write down all the times I want to shoot, set a timer to remind me of the new/different shot times until I get to the time I like (which for us is 6 a.m. and 6 .m.)

:)

I am ok with keeping track. I keep a notebook and write everything down in pen :)
But thank you :)

pmps +2 58 1tsp mc
Is it safe to wait an hour or should I do a test in 30 minutes?

I am getting scared - Mouzer's history informs he does not respond to food, so this teaspoon mc is only a test now, to see if he responds this time.

Click to expand...

Thank you for pointing that out ... I fed MC
He is not wanting to eat. He is sick of this for today.
I am having to coax him into eating anything at all.
I also do not know how much more MC to feed, without making him full not to eat any more.

It might help if you put aalll the food into your chart with the numbers, not sure if you are or not. Helps me see the patterns better. Agree with Susanne to test in 30 min. 58 is lowish and you don't have a lot of data on what that means. I probably would have tested in 30 this morning too when it happened (just as a comparison for future reference).

I do record food on chart ... I have a 2017 SS that is at the top of my mind where Mouzer did not respond to food...
I am trying to forget about that because everyone says I cannot go by his past ...
This is not easy to forget about ...
I am hoping he responds to the food!!!!

Don't worry you have a lot of assistance on FDMB. So many wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable people. They have really helped me a lot. I am positive you will find food he will respond to, and I know you've got an assortment of foods and syrup on hand when you need to use it. It's all about finding how MUCH. Remember, Mouzer was in a different place healthwise years ago, and now he is older too, so he will be different.

lolol I will be dumping honey and karo into his mouth if this keeps up :D
And honey and karo did nothing for him in 2017... so not sure it will now but hopefully it will.
I did a teaspoon of honey into HC and rubbed karo all in his mouth in 2017 - no response. No lower numbers, no higher numbers.

I have noticed with Pearl that the longer she is trending near the 50 mark, the harder it is to bring her back up when she goes under - I mean, we need CANS of the HC stuff to do the trick. On the other hand, when she has a surprise dip below 50 that I don't expect, since she hasn't been trending that low, it's pretty easy to get her numbers up. Food for thought.

Are you suggesting I use HC already?
 
Cherryl & Mouzer said:
I know HC is for 49 and below but I was going by what Margaret said worked for Pearl with food, so I was not sure if I should try that.

I meant it as an encouragement. You say in the past when Mouzer couldn’t get back up easily. So I was drawing a comparison - maybe he had been trending so close to the edge in the past for awhile, that is why it took a lot of work to get him to come up. Just because it took a lot of work once doesn’t mean it will every time.

BTW whenever I get like a 51 I take a couple tests to see if any of them are below 50. For your tool belt for future. I can’t wait to see what he is doing when you test again like Katherine said.

I thought about getting another test at 51 but he is not happy with this all day ear sticking, so I am trying to make it a little easier for him.
 
Margaret (and Pearl) said:
You checking again in about 20 yes?
Click to expand...

I waited the 30 minutes, so I will wait 30 minutes. He is being ok but I have had to close him up in the bathroom because he is hiding and I do not need him to be hiding right now. He is not happy about this hahaahaa And too, maybe his being upset about this whole ordeal today and now being closed up in the bathroom is raising his bg :D
Well, now it depends what PerfumedCatMom tells me about test soon - 20 minutes? Or sooner?
 
Cherryl & Mouzer said:
Are you joking with calling Mouzer Wally? Or no? I have to ask :D
Cherryl will be ok, I think hahaha
I guess I should wish for a 49 -- He would get a reduction then????
Click to expand...
Sorry, I am the one who needs some :coffee:! Apologies.

Mouzer will take his deduction when he wants it, don't worry. For now you just need to keep a watchful eye over him.
