Pretty big drop! I’d get another test soon yea.
I always liked to try to see a rise before I stopped testing for that cycle, just to be safe. Plus it helps you narrow in on that typical nadir area for the future.

Thank you. I hate stabbing my poor baby, and I've been doing it 1.5 months now. :/
I guess I'll get him in another hour then. The nadir is just his peak right? And that's important for what though?
Nice blues again!
The nadir is when he is lowest. We want to know how low this dose is taking him, hence finding out when nadir is. The other thing to consider is that his "typical" nadir may be when he goes low and earns reductions. So you want to be able to catch those lows or if you are away from the house, at least leave some food out. Food is what keeps them safe. The caveat being that nadirs can and do change from cycle to cycle. For example, when a cat is breaking a bounce, the nadirs can be later.

He looks so cozyHe's peacefully snoozing next to me as we get to to the 1hr mark, but I'll get him up soon.
I love his colors and stripes. One handsome boy
Just checking, are you using a pet meter or the Relion mentioned in your remarks on the spreadsheet?
Want to be sure you’re using the correct spreadsheet for the meter
You’re both doing great!

Using the pet meter. I was hoping one day to use the Relion, so out of curiosity and wanting to both familiarize myself with it & see the difference in numbers, I use it some of the time and write it down in the comments.He looks so cozy

Thanks for checking
Don't forget to update the spreadsheet with the latest data. Looks like you are done testing until PMPS.

No problem, just wanted to make sure all was right so you get the correct adviceUsing the pet meter.

I don't see that 193 on the SS. Always show the lowest numbers, which is what we look at for dosing decisions.

Am I going to need to stay up again if he goes into the 100's again? Like the night before? Test every hour or is it 2, until flat or begin to rise?
What is the number I have to do that for? Like what is the number at the +3 or 4, that I have to keep testing for? Anything in the 100's?
Just trying to prepare. Thanks! Today was a much better day
I'm not good at predicting the future. Let's see that +2 or +3 and go from there. You are looking for rate of dropping. Not that they always drop at the same rate, but it it's steep and it doesn't look like he's stopped dropping, you have to keep monitoring.

Ok sorry. When I began and was doing this with PZ, there were times when no one was around and I was left guessing some. It was scary as I was new to this all. So it's why I try to ask for all the 'what ifs'. In case no one's about.
Would it be wiser to wait for the +3? Or should I wait for 4?

Ok, got a reading just now at 472 after 4hrs. I'm not sure if maybe not enough blood? Does that happen too? You'd said too little blood, it can show as low. Can it show the opposite in High too? Not sure if I should stay up another hour or not
Anytime he's up from preshot that much, hit the pillow!
