Checked for ketones this morning (all good!) because I realized that is what I am most stressed about seeing these high numbers lately. Looks okay on that front, so just going to try to go with the flow and hope this bounce clears nice and easy and we get back into less turbulence with his cycles soon

Nice slide for Uncle today. Yay for no ketones.

 

[Lincolns Mom]

time to start working that dose Uncle or the bean is going to have to dosecrease... the no ketones is a good positive... i hope he starts coming down soon... no one here likes those pinks and yellows!!

He was just hitting the greens a two and three days ago, so I hope it's just from bouncing!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Uncle broke his bounce too it looks like and is at 96 PMPS.
In a totally rookie move I gave him his food before I saw his test result.
He only ate a heaping tablespoon of food, but I don't know if he's still dropping.
I know it's good to shoot when dropping but it's been a while, also been a while since I"ve shot low.
Any advice welcome and needed

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Feed and shoot as usual. Test at +2 to see what he's doing. This is a good thing!!!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

HaHa, just about cross-posted that that is my plan. I don't know what got into me. I guess I'm feeling a little rusty.

BOY, do you have your hands full tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

 

[Taffysmama]

Looks like Uncle is getting back to biz!

 

[Gill & George]

Nice to see him clearing the bounce.

Good job shooting.

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Way to go Uncle!!!!

Now you surf safely tonight!! The deputy LagoonMistress is out there but she isn't paying much attention to what she's doing, much less what anyone else is doing!! Must have gotten into the catnip

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Must have gotten into the catnip

That was me last night! China needs to space out too sometimes!
I think I have my wits about me again now.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Here we go.
56 at +2
Going to give him some raw with FF 13% to make it a bumped LC

 

[Gill & George]

I would test in 30min

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

I would test in 30min

Definitely will, glad to see you're on!!!

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

I'm watching, too, but I'll let Gill take the lead.

ok, cool, didn't see that you were still on

[Gill & George]

Time for the big guns, some HC gravy served up straight, a couple of teaspoons

Done. Gave 2 teaspoons FF 20% gravy

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Congrats on the reducie! Carb him up!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Congrats on the reducie! Carb him up!

Really? Down to .1u tomorrow?

 

[Gill & George]

Tricia is I'm getting ready to go to the vets, and store, not in a rush to, waiting for dh to be ready, he's fettling in his workshop, I shan't hurry him, but once he's done well be heading out.(he's a bit impatient like that) I'll have my phone so can keep checking in as long as signal permits.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

I'm getting ready to go to the vets, and store

Okay, I'll stay as long as needed.

Really? Down to .1u tomorrow?

Yup. Uncle was just diagnosed in September, so you get a reducie for a drop under 50.

Of course, if he bounces to the rafters, you can shoot through the bounce in the morning.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Okay, I'll stay as long as needed.

Really appreciate it just in case things go sideways.
Is my next testing interval 20 minutes after food or still at half hour intervals?

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

You can do 30 minutes unless you're nervous. I assume he ate the goodies you gave him?

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Yes, he quite likes the FF. I'm have been so lucky that he doesn't struggle with his appetite (anti-jinx).
I'm okay with just sticking with 30 minute intervals for now.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Hope you don't have to be up early in the morning. This is going to be a long night. He's really early in the cycle to be this low, so when the HC wears off, he'll drop again.

I remember, this happened the same way once before, about a month ago! Thankfully I did finally get some sleep last night.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Thankfully I did finally get some sleep last night.

Luckily, so did I!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

He's 49 at +3, so basically the same. I can't remember if I let this ride for a half an hour with out food or give him more now

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Luckily, so did I!

I'm lucky

 

[Gill & George]

If he is still below 50 at his next test you might want to add a couple of drops of honey/ syrup to the gravy.
George was also not particularly carb sensitive and I found that I needed to use higher carb than 20% if he dropped like this, early in the cycle, I would used 29% carb(not available in us) as my big guns, then if he still dropped I would add a couple drops of honey to that too. Guess bfg just had a sweet tooth

That tactic seemed to work better for him, bringing his numbers up more quickly and shortening the time I would need to steer.

 

[Gill & George]

You could try the 20% with that number as he seems up a bit

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Yes, feed again. Not too much, though. We don't want to fill him up. Just a teaspoon or so.

 

[Gill & George]

I would still feed some HC at this stage in the cycle. And check in 30, you want him significantly over 50, not much wiggle room there.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

You could try the 20% with that number as he seems up a bit

OK, so I'll give him the same amount and carb % now as I did at +2.5

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Tricia is I'm getting ready to go to the vets

Just a routine visit, I hope, Gill?

 

[Gill & George]

Just a routine visit, I hope, Gill?

Yes, just need to get some meds for the droolers, flea/tick treatment stuff.

 

[Gill & George]

Just heading out now dh driving, so still watching

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Just heading out now dh driving, so still watching

next test coming right up

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

68 at +3.5

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

skip food and check in a half an hour?

 

[Gill & George]

OK no food now, and check to see if he will sustain himself in 30

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Good don't feed and test in 30.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

71 at +4
I'm assuming another meal skip and check in one hour?

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

You've got it!

Let's see, it's an hour since HC, right? Need to make it to 2 hours to see what he does when it wears off. See you in 60 minutes.
