I listened to my instinct this morning as I had planned to increase to 1.75 but her reading this morning was much lower than recent mornings and hubby told me she tested a yellow at +6 last night, so I gave her 1.5 for one more time and at +4 she's just gone below normal so I guess I am going down again now?! Always like to keep us on our toes don't they!? I just gave her her pate snack with some gravy from a FF gravy lovers. Will test again in 30 mins.

Good catch! However when you get a lower preshot you need to test at +2. Reduction earned to 1.25 tonight.

She has done this a few times but her shot rarely seems to kick no matter what until +3 or +4. Will reduce again tonight back to 1.25.

Does she eat at +2-3?

 

[Roxy & Deb]

not until +3-4

It might help for her to eat at +2.

Youd think that would push her levels higher not lower?

Hi Deb, like I mentioned yesterday, a meal at +2 would slow down those sharp drops you see. Bouncing is not only caused by dropping to lower numbers than the cat is used to, but also by numbers falling sharply in short period of time.

You want to feed to manipulate the curve.

oh you mean after dinner? So bring her snack forward to +2? I’ve been focusing more on the zero drop after breakfast.

Both cycles. I asked if you fed at +2-3 and you said you feed at +3-4 and that’s too late. Lantus typically onsets at +2 so by the time she eats it’s too late.
