06/04 SHAI AMPS 419 +4 72

He sure is bouncy. Do you feed at +1? The big drops cause bounces as well as when they drop lo.
 
Doing that since about 10 days before he had full can then some at +1 & +2 but not always hungry depending on his numbers he wanted some or not
Now he does no matter what
Am still thinking am doing something wrong with food but still don’t know what
 
Have you considered feeding higher carb food to Shai. What percentage carb are you feeding him at preshot time and what are you offering him at +1 for a snack. If I were doing it, I would experiment with different carb percentages and see if I could slow the big drops. I would try higher carb food for preshots and/or higher carb snacks (a spoonful or so) at +1 and +2. It’s a lot of trial and error sometimes.
 
Thanks atm he gets half of a FF can preshot then +1 1/4 & +2 1/4 of the same can started doing that about 12 days ago before he had a full can preshot then half of another can on the top but was told it was too much…for his snacks at +4 & +8 he gets a 1% carb half of it at each feed

I am not very knowledgeable about foods available in Australia. I will tag @Bron and Sheba (GA) who lives near Sydney and may be able to suggest some foods. Bron, I suggested that Dinah try experimenting with feeding some higher carb foods (different percentages) in the early part of Shai’s cycle when he likes to dive. What he’s been getting is all very low carb and those snacks aren’t slowing his dives. And he bounces a lot.

I like that picture of Shai :-) He looks like a big boy. How much does he weigh now? Did he lose weight when he became diabetic? How much did he weigh before.
