10/5 Monkey 493 AMPS

At +1 I fed 40g of can food. Because of the super bounce of BG last night that may due to I feed him at +1, +2, +3, +4

I want to try to feed him more at +1 and +2, and less feeding after that to see if he bounce less. What do you think.

Try that and see how you go. Hopefully he’ll come off the bounce this cycle. If he’s still dropping a lot after +3 you could give a snack.
Bouncing is not caused by feeding normal food. You might get a food bump for a couple of hours of maybe 50 points after a good sized meal, but it would not put him up to Hi for all that time. You would need to feed him a lot of high carb and honey to keep him up high like he was last night.

Yes. But only thing I did differently is feeding him a lot of can food (less than 1% carbs, I do not see any carb ingredient). If it is not because of that, then I cannot find any reason

Today I will try 40g at AM+1, 40g at AM+2, then no food until PM unless he shows hunger or low BG.
Tomorrow I should be accurate in the AM food +0

Btw, do you think I should try to feed a lot at AM+0 to slow down his drop

Peter, the high numbers are from bouncing. Bounces wobble around as well. They don’t stay up high. They can drop down a bit and go back up a bit before dropping right down.
I think we have the reason for the high numbers. and you are trying to address the problem by feeding the curve.
It is trial and error and it may not work every time.
Keep doing what you are doing.
If he is still dropping at +3 I would feed him some more. Feeding him Low carb in the first half of the cycle is not going to send his numbers up high later in the cycle.
When is the time AM +0?

AM+0 is Hong Kong time 8:00 AM , in Melbourne it is 10:00 AM. However, I am still pushing the injection time to be earlier. If you want to check the realtime, you may click "world mmol" worksheet that indicate the HK time. Today maybe we should try to feed only +1 and +2 and see how tonight goes. Then tmr we may try to feed him also in +3.

When telling anyone the time on here it is best just to say AMPS OR +1 or +4 etc as then we know exactly when in the cycle you mean. Telling me Hong Kong time 8 am means nothing to me really compared to the +4 +6 etc.
Does that make sense?

Hi Peter, can you post after you take the AMPS BG and before you give the insulin please in the morning for Monkey.
Thanks.

 

[PH&MonkeyPenPenFaFaTiger]

yes, i will post immediately after amps. Are you planning a dose increase?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Hi Peter, now that you have eliminated the dry food from Monkeys diet, you can swap back to Tight Regulation if you like. That will mean you can increase the dose every three days if needed and your reductions would be under 50. How would you feel about that?
