Awesome thanks for that info very helpful. Cheers!
thanks! I ended up giving 3/4 of ff tin of 11% carb all up, he was up to 70 then down to 60 again at +8 I end up giving more at +8 which put him in blues for this amps. Buuuut what I've decided to do is just monitor closely and do the shaving dose for a few cycles. Not sure if I gave a skinny 3.25 or fat 3 this morning, but definitely a bit less than what he'd had prior...hoping this might make things smoother. Thanks for that link very helpful!Just here to drop off food for thought - of course you can take the reduction (go Brian!) and you can always go back up if needed (or he may very well hold the reduction!) - but I had saved this comment from one of the moderators on someone else's thread and may be worth the read as Brian came right up with some lowish MC food (11%, right?) - https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-3-53-3-5-53-4-60-4-5-67.239986/#post-2699515
Whatever you decide is the right choice
Looked like a beautiful surf to me! FWIW, I would do the same thing next time - and if he doesn't respond to the 11% in the same way then give him a higher carb food (and feed small amounts to try to keep him willing to eat). Also, the 68 at +4 last night and the 63 at +8 last night are basically the same number - we would call it "flat".
Do what makes you comfortable - and then just hear me out
From what I've learned, usually newly diagnosed cats (like Brian) do better with increases and decreases of 0.25u. Shaving doses is really used to fine tune a dose once you get close to a good one and also I've seen it used for cats that fail reductions consistently. Again, do what you feel comfortable - I really try to leave the dosing stuff to others with more experience than me. Perhaps @Bandit's Mom can stop by if she's around later.Sorry I didn't see this! I still got a bit nervous at the time thinking well there's not much room to drop, but looking at it back I'm like ohhh it's flat as you said! Thank you! Wish I'd read this sooner as shaving was a bit non consequential/skewed for him. Thank you for this info!Looked like a beautiful surf to me!

His AMPS also looks nice for a whole night surfing the greens - maybe a little higher from the MC but could also just have been the end of the cycle and the insulin dose wears off.

Hope you all have a good day!
