Holding steady on the reduced dose, though I guess the last is still in the depot.
Happy weekend to all!

Yup. Still the higher depot. Btw, I don't see any numbers for last night in the SS.

Right you are! Thanks for the heads up. I think lack of sleep is beginning to get to me. Blanks are all filled in now.

I was out of pocket for most of the day today, leaving DBF in charge. Very surprised by the +4, then a bounce at PMPS, and now another steep drop. She's been eating half of whatever I put in her dish and coming back to finish later, which makes it hard to know how much she is actually eating if I'm not there to see it happen. Thinking another reduction will be in order before I leave on Monday, given today's 55, yes? If so, when should I start the smaller dose?

Did she get food between AMPS and +4? I guess it's going to be like this next week, where food is available and she may or may not eat...

I gave her a snack before leaving, which was almost +3, but no telling when she ate it. Would it help to go to a higher carb mix?

I would try feeding at +2 and see if that helps reduce the diving. Feed less at PS if she doesn't finish it all - so that she's hungry enough to eat at +2. Pick up whatever she doesn't eat at PS.

Let's see what she does tomorrow and you might have to go down to 3.25U from Monday.

Thanks, Bhooma. I had been doing that for the past week or so, and looking at her chart just now, it seems to have helped on some days, less so on others (it may well be that those were days when she wasn't hungry enough to eat the snack at +2).
Anyway, I read your note when I got up to test and feed this morning, gave her a smaller than usual breakfast (which she finished), set a timer for +2, went back to bed and slept until +3 ... apparently because I forgot to press "start"on the timer. So much for this morning's experiment.
