How is Misty looking?

[Bree & Misty]

Hi,
How are Misty's numbers looking?
We've seen some blues and greens in the pm cycles, but every curve I've done in the past month seems to have fallen on a bounce day.
Also, I reduced today, was that the right choice? I know according to the SLGS method Misty earned one, I only ask because after a previous technically earned reduction, @JanetNJ said she thought I shouldn't have reduced yet and the low number was a one time thing. Thoughts?
Thanks!

Thank you!

If she goes back up and is over 120ish over the next 3-4 days you can always go back up in dose.

Hi Janet just curious since Misty earned a reduction on 10-2 during the night cycle and then on 10-3 AMPS she shot 1 unit, then 10-3 Night Cycle she shot 1.5 units
What would the units be for 10-4 AMPS

Hi Diane!

Dose reductions are done with Prozinc based on the most recent full dose, which was 1.75U. The dose reduction is taken from the last full dose that produced the low, (not the token dose because of a lower than normal pre-shot), so the reduced dose going forward should be 1.5U.

@Bree & Misty - You're doing fantastic!!

I'm confused by this, although it not hard to confuse me lol.
Why has Misty earned a reduction, well i know why of sorts. The SLGS method states that if Anytime the BG drops below 90 mg/dL, reduce the dose by 0.25u at the next shot which Bree did.
Yet on the modified prozinc method which i use for Duke it states reduce the dose by 0.25u anytime you see a BG below 50 on a human meter or 68 on a pet meter.
Can anybody explain why this is to me please, as i say i'm confused.

One is a more aggressive protocol than the other. Some are not comfortable with their cats at lower numbers, esp at first.

Thanks @JanetNJ, that explains it perfectly.

I'm not able to test often enough to follow MPM because of my work schedule, so I stick with slgs to keep Misty safe since I'm gone most of the day and won't know if she's dropping into hypo range.
