He is headed up (I presume the 115 after 20 mins was without food) and it should be safe to shoot. Can you monitor if you shoot?

Thank you! I did not feed and, yes, it was 20 minutes still without food. I can monitor today except for 1.5 hours this afternoon. Just going to test again before giving breakfast: 124.

I will shoot and monitor.

Then I would shoot.

I presume you are following TR? Could you please mention your dosing method in your SS and Signature. That way we don't need to keep asking and can tailor our advise according to your dosing protocol. Thanks! :)

I did shoot and will monitor. I have TR in Signature and just put it in SS. Thank you!
 
Good job this morning shooting. I'm glad Bhooma was around to help. You can move shot time back 1/2 from when you shot this morning, or 15 minutes tonight and 15 minutes tomorrow morning.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but you really need to start getting a night times test in after PMPS. A test last night before bed likely would have given you a heads up that he was going to go low last night. All day his numbers trended down, showing that he was breaking his bounce.

Thank you. I'll mark the time difference.

I know, I know, said I for the 100th time. I'm trying, I've got a lot on my plate: alone with two acrokitties, two other kitties and a dog, a full time job (I'm a professor) which calls for more than 8 hours day (and days have fires to put out), arranging for the gutters to be cleaned, raking up the big leaf fall, getting snow tires on the car, etc etc etc. I'm not telling all this for the sake of excuse but just to let you know, I'm really trying to do my level best with and for Eddie. I also really appreciate the help here. I am listening. I'm also dancing as fast as I can.
 
The second test in the PM cycle is a requirement for TR, for safety reasons. If it's not something you can do regularly (and I understand life gets in the way :bighug:) maybe SLGS is a better option for you for dosing method. I got into the habit at night of brushing my teeth, poking the cat, turning out the lights. It was such a routine that Neko was ready and waiting for me as soon as I started getting ready for bed. It literally added two minutes to my night routine. Not everyone can do that, and it depends partly on the timing of your shooting schedule too. That's why we have two dosing method options.

I think Eddie will be better off if I just get my PM act together on a nightly basis. Because he's out of acromegaly/SRT, I think I need to get with the PM cycle testing from now on. I guess I thought I was giving his ears a bit of a break but that results in inaccurate data, so I will double down.

Thank you!

Would you mind having a look at Eddie's numbers? I mean, they are very good. I'm wondering what might happen at shot time (around 8:45pm PDT).
 
Nice cycle today. :) Looks like he's on his way up for PMPS.

I hope you can make it work. Dose changes can happen quickly post SRT. The other option is to play it safer and have a higher reduction point. With that 72 on 10/22, I think we talked about reducing then. It's very close to the reduction point of 68 used by TR.

How many cycles would earn a reduction? I’m following him tonight and onwards.
 
Cycles don't earn reductions (unless it's 14 cycles in mostly green numbers), reductions below a certain value do. I followed TR and instead of using 50 on my human meter, used below 70 on my human BG meter as the signal to reduce the dose.

Sorry if I'm seeming a bit thick but in Eddie's case, what would constitute an earned reduction based on his numbers? Do I figure out what it is for Eddie specifically?
 
TR has a set point that everyone follows, which means reducing if they go below 50 on a human meter. There are special consideration for long term diabetics, but I ignored that with Neko because she usually held her reduction. 68 on the AT is deemed to be a reduction point if using a pet meter and following TR. I changed my reduction point to 70 (human meter) right after Neko's SRT, to add a bit of safety.
