With AMPS at 89, is a +1 vs a +2 BG the way to go? I think that's what I did previously.

I would definitely get a +1 and see if the meal gave him a bit of a food bump. A +2 as well never hurts either

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Might be a repeat of the AM cycle on 3/20. So yes, test and feed every hour till he flattens out or starts rising.
See you at +1.

(Look at all the blue and green on his SS now! )

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

Surprised to see +1 higher.... maybe it wasn't a great shot, after all?

No no that is normal it is the food bump from his preshot meal

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Feed LC and test at +2?

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

Considering +2, is a +3 recommended?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes, please. Feed some LC and get a +3?

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

+3.25=58
Feeding LC

 

[Bandit's Mom]

OK. He is flattening out. Test at +5?

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

He's sitting there after I gave him a tsp or TBL of LC, like he wants more. Maybe it's just me interpreting it that way.

If he wants more, give him some more. He is at the lower end of normal numbers. It's possible he might feel hungry in them till he gets used to them.

I will not be around for your +5. Tag @tiffmaxee if you need help. My guess he should be higher by then.

Thanks. He ended up taking a nap, so I guess he fooled me.

Thank you!

+5@83
That seems a big increase from +3.25.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

His nadir in "normal" cycles seems to be around +4.

Wonder if it's a bounce tonight? A +2 or +3 will confirm.

+2=128
Does this show anything in particular?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

+2=128

Only that he is not bouncing! You might get a green later in the cycle (+6/+7).

Did you feed some LC after the test? If you are going to be up till +3, you might want to get another test then.

Definitely fed him some after the +2.
I need to heat the rice sock and can get a +3.

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

+3=75
@Bandit's Mom

Big drop, and definitely green already.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

How about feeding him a mix of LC and MC to slow him down? Can you test again later at night?

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

I'll mix the MC & LC and feed him.
It's almost 1am. What time, or + number, are you asking if I can test again?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

1am! I thought you were moving his shot time ahead so you don't have to stay up late!

I was thinking a test at +6 or so? If you can't just feed him 20% and abort the cycle, it is okay.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Can you shoot 30 mins early tomorrow morning? That is, 11.5 hours from the time you shot tonight? If testing is an issue, maybe start testing a little early - like 15 mins before you want to give the shot so that you can shoot on time (that is 30 mins early)? Let's move your shot time to 8am/pm so you aren't up till 1 am for a +3!

I can't remember what happened the other day that delayed the shot time.... probably when I was having difficulty getting a good pinch to shoot.

I just gave him a mix of LC & MC.
As far as the AF, just LC?
I will set the alarm for a +6 or so.
Let me know, OK.
Thank you very much.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes. Just LC in the AF. See you at +6 or so.

You could try shooting 15 mins early every cycle till you get to your desired shot time.

I'll try to shoot earlier tomorrow. Tomorrow is the rescheduled dentist appointment at noon that I couldn't make on the 15th, so a 30 min earlier time would be better.

If he starts off low, you can just skip the shot and then shoot at your new shot time at night.

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

Low as in ____?
Need a number that is considered low.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Need a number that is considered low.

Say 120 or below.

What time is your AMPS (if you shoot 30 mins early) and when do you need to leave for the noon appointment and when will you be back?

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

I just realized I didn't adjust the AF time for an earlier BG & Shot, so soonest I can test is 9am to ensure a 2-hour fast. I can adjust evening time tor sure.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Post when you get the AMPS and we'll see about the shot.

30 min early is 8:45; dentist appt is at noon and will take me maybe 5 min or so. Just across the street. Yay.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

See you at 9am for the AMPS and shot decision! Go to bed!

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

I messed up the alarm so bad!
I woke up and ran to the kitchen....actually, hobbled.

+9.75=72

I can do a AMPS at 8:45. (Adj 30 min earlier)

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

Just looked closer at my calendar. Dentist appointment is tomorrow (3/24), not today!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

OK. Take away the food so you can shoot 30 mins early!
Post the AMPS before you shoot.

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

Today is the day a plumber is here, and a friend's birthday; tomorrow is the dentist appointment. I have no idea why I was a day forward AND turned off the alarm (per my husband).

 

[La-La Leo (GA)]

OK. Take away the food so you can shoot 30 mins early!

I messed up! Got the BG/food/shot....all in automatic mode. Well, I've shot lower. AND while I didn't smell anything, it was too easy and makes me question it.
AMPS=70
