05/29 Merlin PMPS 461 (pre-shot) 401 @+1 302 @+2 175 @+3 133 @+4, 88 @+4.5, 119 @+5, 182 @+6,169@6.5

Ok it looks as if you fed mainly low carb preshot and during the cycle except for +2.5 when you gave 15 % carbs. Is that right?
Depending on the preshot BG, I think it would be worth a try in feeding him a higher carb preshot meal such as 15% to see if we can do a pre-emptive strike and slow down the drop before it happens at +1 and +2. Then depending on the numbers we could give low carb snacks after that.

We gave 30 @2.75 also
 
I would try the 15% as the preshot meal and see how that goes. It is always trial and error getting something like this right.
He could also bounce this cycle as well
 
Merlin is still hungry having had just half a can, but I’m worried about him not eating later. Should I be filling him up more at the start?

Exactly what I was saying last night. It’s just that we haven’t tried starting off with the 15 percent yet. I was hoping it might help with the early dive not being so dramatic.

Suzanne, I can only stay online tonight for another hour and a half. Do you think you will be around, or should I look for someone else to help Jill.

I can be here for the next three hours. That’s 9:30 my time and 2:30 Jill’s time (+4.5)? Is that right? Merlin is usually out of the woods by then. After that we have to leave to go sing in church this morning (the choir). Will this work? Even after that, I still can “be there” for another half hour because I usually hand my phone to my daughter while I am driving and she will read to me what transpires and type whatever I say.

That would be great thanks Suzanne, thank you.
If needed Bhooma should still be around.
Unfortunately I have to finish early for the next three nights,,,including tonight.
 
I’m wondering if that 6 percent carb will be enough? Are you going to add the half hour readings into your spreadsheet? Did he do a 99 point drop in 30 minutes? If he keeps dropping precipitously at next scan, then we definitely need to bump up the carbs.

AMPS 421 fed 15%
+1. 392
+1.5 293 fed 6.1 %
+2

Is this correct?
