So, we got a yellow AMPS after a while! I expected her to head higher (bouncing from last night's blues) and I contemplated giving a drop of R at AMPS to reduce the "boing!", but decided to err on the side of caution. Might try it at PMPS.

I am wondering whether to take her L dose up. The only problem with driving her nadirs lower is that she bounces harder. At this point, I am happy to keep her in 150-300 range rather than have her bounce for 6 cycles after one in green. Wondering whether the current dose + the occasional R might help me get there.

I'd increase the L, see if that'll help get rid of some of the higher numbers. What's the mix of HC vs LC kibbles at this point?

ETA: Good call not giving R this AM, I'd wait until she's over 300 at PS.

I fixed my late night error above. :oops:

Good use of R today, down about 100 points in 4 hours. Just perfect.

Sending my hopes and prayers that you find the right dosage (s) to get Bandit feeling and doing better. You give so much to so many, I hope you get all the help you need Bhooma for your little girl. Hugs to you, Bandit and wnb Budge :p I hope the vet appointment gives you some answers. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Ok I have to ask...what are you looking at? I don't see any R noted nor do I see a 100 or drop haha maybe I'm too tired...

Understandably you would be tired. :bighug::bighug:

The spreadsheet for today at AM+10 showed a drop of R. During the 4ish hours after (not sure how the U40 R works yet exactly), she never went down more than 100 points.

You got the reply in before I deleted lol my phone hadn't loaded the stuff since I last looked at her SS earlier.

I've been curious about R in general, so it's interesting to see this, and I'm curious how tonight plays out. Looks like perfect timing perhaps for the L to grab on to yellows.

Yeah. I got a +10 and saw she was headed up and I thought to prevent a red PMPS. I was wondering whether to use R again this morning but I remembered you said not to use it in every cycle.
I am expecting her to dive on her own this AM.

Well, she was due a bounce, so she was 100 points higher mid-cycle. Maybe the R prevented the bounce from getting too high - which is why we got a pink AMPS and not a HI (which is what I was expecting!)
