So... Charlotte is now at 1 unit. I started her last night bc she’d been in the pinks for most of 7 cycles. Better today however she has started a habit of wanting food very early in the morning which is messing up her amps value aside from my sleep. Ugh! I do leave her with food at night but I guess I should leave more? Thoughts appreciated @Sienne and Gabby (GA) and everyone else. Also, I have my Girl Scout troop meeting going on when she is due for her PMPS at 7 pm. It starts at 6:30 and the Meeting ends at 8. What should I do? Thanks!
 
I am glad you increased. Paws crossed for blues soon. Just one point away!

Have you tried leaving her some freeze dried meat snacks in an autofeeder for the wee hours? The munchies are a difficult problem to deal with and zero carb is best later in the cycle.

What time do you have to leave the house? I think I would get a test at +11 and decide based on her numbers. It’s OK to shoot a half hour early, but I might not do so if she is still dropping. You could shoot an hour late in that case.

For future reference, start moving shot times up by 15 minutes however many cycles early you need to make the shot on time. I had a monthly meeting that started 1/2 hour before PMPS and I still had travel time too. A few days before I started moving shot time’s up.

Yes I hadn’t thought of moving the time bc she’d been high and I figured I would be safe to just shoot at 6:30. But no... now we start to drop. Ugh! My meeting is a few minutes from the house. If I shoot late though I can’t do that in the morning bc I have to be at work. I’d have to shoot 40 minutes earlier. Problem??

That might become an issue, if for some reason she didn't bounce.
Some cat's are more sensitive than other to shot times.

I often shot early on my Yoga class nights so I could get a +1 before I went to class, it often didn't make a difference, however, I do remember having to cancel a couple of classes because I just was not happy shooting early and leaving.

+11 178. I guess I have to wait to 7. What happens if she is still dropping then?? Feeding her CN at the moment t as slightly higher carbs than ff. Trying to avoid any bouncy stuff. I can’t win!!

Sorry, I was visiting my mother in hospital. Next time, you want to avoid feeding in the two hours before shot time, or you get a food influenced preshot. Which is more a concern when numbers are low, cause you don’t know if the non food influenced number would be OK to shoot. Looks like you shot the 1 unit. She is high enough that should be OK until you come home.

Completely understandable. Hope your mom recovers quickly.
Yes, I usually try not to feed her in that window but I guess I was thinking that it might help sway the curve back up as I have to work tomorrow morning and I couldn’t be more than a half hour late for her shot tonight. I’m going to recheck her value in 15 minutes. Thanks
