Is it time to nudge back up to 1.75?

It definitely is..thank you Sue and Luci!Looking at your SS this afternoon - it doesn't look like he got anywhere near a nice low blue or even a high green today. Since you asked earlier about increasing tonight - IF you're going to be able to watch him closely and IF you're going to be around tomorrow you could give it another try at 1.75.
I have a feeling he'll have a yellow PMPS so with that in mind...
What we don't want him to do is slip away down into those low greens - shark chasing - so he loses what might be a very efficient dose and might help him get into the low blues and some high greens.
Do you have plenty of medium/high carb gravy foods on hand? anything in the 10-16% range and then on the upper end - in the low - mid 20's for HC. Let's see if he can be guided to have a nice long surf on the edge of the lagoon - even some time on the beach (nice low blues) would be a good fit for him tonight - he's been in the reds and pinks so long he's not going to handle a dip like the other night well and will go bouncing off into the stratosphere and lose his dose again.
Sometimes that's the dance we dance...up/down, up/down. Lots of if's here...sorry about that. As always, the decision is ultimately yours.
Hope this is helpful.
Yes I don’t offer him dry any more. Added one more serving of pate mid day and poached plain chicken or Turkey. He asks for food numerous times during day.Karen - how are things going with removing the Epigen dry for snacks? All done now with feeding the dry?
How long ago? That might make a big difference in deciding whether to increase and when.Yes I don’t offer him dry any more. Added one more serving of pate mid day and poached plain chicken or Turkey. He asks for food numerous times during day.
No dry for last 4 days (since 1/27).How long ago? That might make a big difference in deciding whether to increase and when.

Ok. I suspect she will be yellow tonight and if she is I would not increase yet. I think the depot is gone but this was a bounce clearing cycle. I’d increase tomorrow if you don’t see low blue tonight.
@Christie & Maverick Thoughts?
Sounds like a plan. Thx!If this is a bounce clearing cycle, which I think both Elise and I see happening, increasing now would add some extra oompf to the cycle. I'd hold the dose and see how tonight shapes up before considering that increase.
192 right now which is 15 -30 minutes from shot time. Thoughts? I’m fine with holding the 1.5 dose and reassessing again tomorrow. Thanks for input.
