? 1/5 Radar - eating much better today -yeah!

[Jan Radar (GA)]

Radar ate much better on his own today. I left a hockey puck of raw out for him today and packed it in a dish with ice to keep it fresh. Apparently the floating dish was too scary to eat from when I wasn't home and when I got home at +11 he was desperate to tell me all about the scary food dish... I felt bad for him so I tested, and then fixed the scary dish so he could eat. He kept talking to me Between bites of his yummy Fuds and then sat in my lap and purred.

So here's my question. I don't normally feed or test him at +11. However since the opportunity presented itself for a test, then raw food, then wait 1 hour for pmps test, then insulin and more food ...I decided to go for it. His +11 was 370 and then his pmps test was 352. I would expect that number to go up not down. Is it just the meter giving me a number within the 20% of allowed variation?

that's such a cute story about his scary floating food! How precious.

I have no idea about the test. Raw food is pretty low carb, but I wouldn't necessarily think it would lower it. Typically if a pancreas is stimulated by eating, resulting in a lower blood sugar that usually shows up about 3-4 hours later. Who knows if Radar's pancreas is putting out insulin or not, so that might not even apply to him.

Not much of an answer, but I didn't want to leave you without any response!

Oh, poor Radar! I'm sorry he had to deal with a scary dish, but happy to hear he's eating better.

I have no insight to you question. Unfortunately, the only certainty about FD is that it is unpredictable.

awwww, poor little radar, and the scary dish.

You could argue that the 370 and the 350 are about the same given meter variance.
