5/14 Raven AMPS 71 +1 80

[SophieFRA]

Hi all,

numbers were all in the blues yesterday so I decided to finally increase to 3.75 units last night. But this morning he‘s at 71 for AMPS. Should I skip the shot altogether? Stall or go back to 3.5 or a lower dose? @Wendy&Neko @Bandit's Mom @Chris & China (GA).

it does seem to be a late nadir or at least end of cycle dip. I took a measure at 4:30am (10+) and it was 96.

Just read the sticky on TR and low numbers again to remind myself of the number scenarios. Seems like 71 is a shootsble number. My inclination would be to go back to shooting 3.5 (instead of 3.75) and to still add MC food for +1 and +3 meal. I didn‘t take a mid-cycle shot since I was sleeping so I don‘t know what the nadir was.

I went ahead and shot the regular dose (3.75u). I gave him some MC food and have some timed to go off in an hour. During the day I can measure up to +5 before I have to head out for an appointment. So hopefully I‘ll get a better sense of his nadir on this dose.

I’m sorry no one got to you earlier. I’m glad you read the sticky on TR and low numbers. Did you get a +1 or a +2.?
It’s always a good idea to do that if you a shooting a lower than normal preshot.

Thanks for your response. I just took a measure at +2 and he‘s at 80.

Neko was a late nadir girl, often at +12 (or sometimes even a couple hours after that0. I had to get used to shooting lower numbers.

That +2 will tell you what kind of cycle you are looking at today and whether he'll need higher carb snacks next. Hard to say with MC at preshot time whether that 80 is a food bump or him just being flat.
