10/26, Pippin, AMPS 180, +2 203, +4.5 254, +7.75 280, PMPS 296

Pippin was pretty steady on 2.5u, but his AMPS is 180. I had to feed him, but should I still shoot? Should I drop the dose to 2u?

Edit to add: I don’t think I should shoot because his BG will be effected by food, right?

Can you test him today? You shot at 186 a few days ago, you could try? Or test him again in an hour and see which way it is changing before deciding.

Okay, I’ll shoot now because he was already pretty close to 200.

Was the AMPS of 180 after food? Food takes 20 mins to affect the BG, so if you tested soon after a meal, the number is probably not food influenced. 180 is a safe number to shoot with both SLGS and TR. Try and get a test 2 hours after the shot to see whether he is headed lower and more tests are needed or whether 180 was an end-of-cycle nadir and he is heading up from there.

No, it was before food. I’ll get a test at +2 to see where he’s at.
