The PMPS of 112 will be the lowest I've shot, I am really nervous. I am home all evening so I will be watching him. His +10 is higher than the PMPS, shouldn't it be increasing?

Did you shoot?

 

[Chris and Checkers]

Yes I fed him and shot. Is that okay? TR says to shoot above 50. Will definitely do a +2.

 

[Acadaca]

I can't give you any dosing advice, but yes it is fine. Especially since you will be there to monitor. Good job. I know it is stressful to shoot numbers that are low.

Absolutely okay. Get a +1 and +2 since it’s your lowest pmps that you have shot.

looks like he double dipped and went down at pmps or else had a late nadir.

 

[Chris and Checkers]

Okay, this does take a lot of nerves.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes it does. Were you away all day? He might have hit green today but we don’t know. Shoot low to stay low is our motto.

Always stressful starting shooting low at the beginning. Good job! As Elise said, with +1 and +2 you'll see where Checkers is going.

 

[Chris and Checkers]

Yes, I was at work, wasn't able to test until I got home. Makes me nervous too.

 

[tiffmaxee]

He did great. Is there a way to change your shot time so you can get a +2 or even +1. I know I’ve asked before but I can’t remember.

 

[Chris and Checkers]

If I move the shot time a half hour earlier, I can get a +1. Any earlier and I won't be home in time to to shoot if I need to stay late at work.

Even that might help as if you didn’t see a food bump you can feed appropriately and leave out the right food. Will that make it too hard for you? You need to be able to function too.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Looks like a bounce has started.

 

[Chris and Checkers]

I can do that. I was looking for information on when to use mc and hc foods. Is there a sticky. I have bookmarked and printed the one on Hypos. Buy I have seen people use Mc at other times too.

 

[tiffmaxee]

We use mc to feed the curve, to prevent a cat dropping too fast or too early in the cycle.
