Ugh! So had to work this morning and bc he was on the lower side at amps decided to feed 1 tsp MC with 1 tsp LC. 8/5 pm he tanked by +4 with the same reading so bc I was not able to test and wouldn’t be home til later decided to have daughter repeat feeding at +4. Now I’m paying for it. Question is should I just bump up to 4 units tonight? Seems like I should but not sure if still cycling through a bounce from 8/6 and 8/7 compounded now with the extra carb load or what. Opinions? Thanks

No you should not. Per TR, you have to hold the dose for 6 consecutive cycles. Since you shot a reduced dose on 08/05, the cycle count starts over. Tonight is cycle 5 and tomorrow morning is cycle 6. The earliest you'd increase is tomorrow night but I'd get advice from other if you decide to.

I see Elise stopped (I type slowwww lol).

Ooop now I see you already gave the increase....maybe @tiffmaxee can advise what to do for your AMPS if she's still around
 
Ok. Don’t worry. Can you monitor tonight and tomorrow? Get a +1 and +2 each cycle and stick with 3.75. If the +2 is lower than the preshot more tests will be needed. Add results to your title and the question mark if you want to know when to test next or what to feed.

Yes I will have to test through +6 I see as we have dropped a bit. Ugh! And I can test tomorrow as well. But if my amps is lower than usual, should I shoot at 4 or 3.75? I might have to do MC if he continues to drop.
 
So, I have given him a little MC with a little HC at +4 seeing he is continuing to drop. Trying to save him from another bounce. Will test in another 5 minutes (15 since eating).

For now just ask for dosing advice before increasing or decreasing if in doubt. Sometimes you will get differing opinions and then you need to trust your gut or wait for tge most experienced to respond.

Will do. Aside from Wednesday, he seemed to be flat for a while and I couldn’t tell if it was a bounce or he needed more insulin.
 
@tiffmaxee and @Bandit's Mom thanks for your help tonight! I have to go to bed. I have to be up in 5 hours to start this all over again and attend to the rest of the clan of kitties. I left him with mc/HC mix. He is more than half way through his cycle so hopefully that will carry him through the rest of the night. It was more than a tsp of each. :)
