? 10/6 Jasper AMPS 133 +2 72 +3 94 +4 83 +5 90 +6 108 +7 206 +8 218

Can someone take a look at Jasper's spreadsheet for me and help me figure out how to proceed? Yesterday afternoon his +6 was fairly low at 71 so today I checked at +2 thinking I would do a curve to see what's happening at he is at 72. Should I test again 20 minutes later or should I wait an hour to test again? Also wondering if I should feed a little food at a certain point? It feels to me like we just keep going back and forth between 1.75 unit doses with higher numbers and then 2 unit doses with him dropping low.

Feed some higher lc and check in an hour. If you don’t have it feed mc. Actually since using an AT check in 30.

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee I just checked and 20 minutes later he is at 61. Doesn't that qualify him for a dose reduction tonight? I will feed some low carb food now and check in 40 min?

 

[tiffmaxee]

@Rachel and Jasper i edited my last comment. Check in 30.

We cross posted. Yes. Reduction earned. With AT reduction under 68. Congrats. I would start checking at +1 and feeding a snack then. What is your feeding schedule?

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee feeding 2 tsp low carb, will check again in 30 min.

@tiffmaxee I am currently feeding him at AMPS and PMPS and +6

 

[tiffmaxee]

I would start dividing the amount of food into mini meals and feed at +2 and +4 to prevent big drops.

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee ok that makes sense to me

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee Just tested again at +3 and he is at 94. Should i feed aby more or just wait an hour abd test again?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Here is some info on feeding the curve.

I also suggest getting a +2 test every cycle when possible. If it is lower than the reshot it is likely to be an active cycle like today. If the same if might be active. That test for many cats is like a crystal ball. For Max he onset around +2-3.

I would feed a teaspoon of lc and check in an hour.

@tiffmaxee just read it and this is all something I am still wrapping my head around but I do feel like I am starting to understand why this makes sense. Jasper is bouncy and also seems to respond significantly to food/carbs so I will try splitting up meals into 8 smsll meals a day.

@tiffmaxee ok sounds good. Ill feed a teaspoon and check at +4

 

[tiffmaxee]

Perfect. You can tweak the schedule as you gain data. Jasper is doing really well and so are you being so new to fd.

@tiffmaxee thank you I really need to hear that!

His +4 was 83 so I fed another tsp, should I test again in an hour?

Yes.

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee ok sweet

 

[Rachel and Jasper]

@tiffmaxee I fed him lunch at +6 and a tsp at +8 and his numbers have gone up quite a bit. Is it ok for me to go out for dinner tonight? Maybe feed him a little before I head out in about an hour.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Your ss doesn't show the +8 not does your subject bar. If its gone up you could go and not test any more until pmps

@tiffmaxee oh strange I did enter it +8 was 218, so I'll feed a tsp before we leave just before +9 and then I am happy to get to still do dinner. I wasn't sure it would work out that way. Thanks for all your help!

 

[tiffmaxee]

With a 218 at +8 you didn’t need to feed but a tsp would not hurt. I’d still get a before bed test even though the bounce had begun because it would give you a heads up as to whether it would clear that night. I hope you had a nice dinner.
