Another morning in blue. Could hunger have anything to do with it?

Are you giving Nigel a snack like around +9 before AMPS?
ETA: I should have said AMBG.

No, that would mean feeding him in the middle of the night. Guess I should buy a feeder.

Hunger can definitely cause a rise in BG. If you don't have a feeder, freeze some cat food in an ice cube tray and leave a cube or two (depends on size) out to thaw overnight so Nigel can snack on it when it thaws/he gets the munchies.

I just ordered one of these and I'll try the catfood icecube trick in the meantime!
You can also try by feeding him at what would be +9 in the a.m. cycle to see if that helps his PMBG.

His PMBG was in the green yesterday, probably for that very reason.
What that tells us is his pancreas is working. If it’s possible, I’d test him again three hours after AMBG and PMBG meals instead of at two hours after.

Even if he’s in the green for PMBG?
Sorry,.....I should have clarified that if he’s blue as he has been in the mornings.

Well, I just tested him now and he was 107 @ +3. He was running around a lot earlier and I had to chase him to clean poop off of his fur. Not sure if that could have raised it.
