Bummer, thought we were done with the pinks, hadn't seen any in 6 cycles. I feel like I could have done better yesterday with my attempt on flattening the curve with food. I might have contributed to the bounce with some of my choices. Or maybe it was all her, who knows, still figuring it out...

For the high number, I gave her a splash of water in breakfast to hopefully help with flushing any ketones in her system. I'll also test for ketones at some point this morning with the blood meter. Note: she has no history of ketones, just paranoid!

The pinks will go, don't worry. You are doing great! The only thing I would have done differently yesterday was to feed 5.5% at AM+2. :-)
 
I think you did fantastic yesterday. The thing about feeding the curve is trying to prevent the drastic drops at onset so I may have gone a little higher LC, the 5.5% at maybe +1 or +2 to slow it down then feed lower and lower LC through nadir to help the surf. It's trial and error. You'll get there. Oh and when you think you've figured it out, kitty likes to change it up on you o_O

Oh, OK. That's what I thought when you posted but your updates didn't reflect that, so I assumed you fed 2 tsps more of 0%

Playing in the grass... :D Decided to give her a 0.0% snack to flatten out if we can. I think she's probably good until PMPS.

Hmm.... I would normally give the Steak Frites (5.5%) at her +2 to help with the onset, but her number increased significantly at the +2. I decided to use Honor Roll (2.9%) as I don't want her to drop too much by using a 0.0%, but I don't want the normal higher carbs I would do to help with the onset to possible raise it more? I don't know...

I probably should... but if she is a lower preshot, let's say... less than 200? I'll probably try to stay home then. If she is 200+ and I decide to go to work, I'll for sure put out the automatic feeder with +1,+2,+3,+4 meals of 5.5% or maybe some 9.10%. I can have someone check on her as well.

Sound like a good plan?
