July 19 Merlin PMPS 432

Hi Jill. I having trouble with my internet connection at that moment. I’m on 4G on my iPhone but can’t stay in it for long. But I’ll look back on in an hour. Very happy to see a yellow Preshot. Maybe feed higher low carb early on to slow drop (I mean at +1 and +1.5) and then reaccess.
 
Sorry Jill my internet is terrible. I am having trouble even with 3G. not sure if you have fed yet.
If not fed at +1.5 maybe wait and then see what next BG is. I’ll try and get back on.
 
What little sleep I had last night was restless, and then Merlin woke me an hour early by yelling in my ear. I dont feel so good this morning.
 
Feed some more of the 8... or a 6-ish? What do you think? You can always test in 30 to see if it's doing what you want it to do. Be sure to make them small spoons because yesterday he got full. (ETA: That was not your fault he got full.... I know you usually do 10 g only)

Test at +3.5, or wait til +4 now?

Because you will want to see if the drop is slow and steady - or not - I would test at the half hour mark. Otherwise he may drop more than you want him to in a full hour. What do you think? I don't know if Bron is back or not. I went away from the computer for a few minutes and came back. Paying bills.
 
I wonder if this will be identical to yesterday's A.M. cycle? At least the +3 is really similar (as I think Bron was noticing.)

It’s interesting to see what goes on between hours. I wonder if this happens all the time, we just dont see it. Food bump, then down.

It makes sense that it would work this way. Anyway, we probably will see some green today like yesterday. This is good that, as Marina said, he's not diving and seems to be dropping more sedately (of course with your food interventions.)
 
Merlin’sMama said:
Yes! Thats where he is headed. Since he has leveled off, maybe I could even get out of the house? Not that I have any energy at all… But should I test again in an hour?

I think you could wait more than an hour if you like. He's really leveled off and it doesn't look like he will do any diving today :) Should you take a nap? Or go out for a bit first and try to catch a nap before evening? I am sure you have things to do!

Sorry, having trouble getting online again.
I’m hoping after a cycle like this, this morning, he might stay around the yellows and then have a cycle tonight where he drops a bit into greens. For the last 12 days bar one, he has got into blue BGs which is vey good so he’s getting used to them. So that is progress!

Thats, true! The only day he didnt get some blue was the dry food feast day. Other cat is now on half Thrive (8percent!) and half junk food. It was the turning point, at least!
