WCR: another big drop last night, another pink morning. I so wished she would learn to get her late night numbers under control and her morning numbers in better range. We fed her at +4.5 last night even though technically we are front loading and she didn't need to eat but she had dropped another 60 points in an hour and a half. Should we not have? Should we have just let her continue to drop without food on board? I know when she drops quite fast at night our first reaction is to feed her to keep her from dropping but maybe we are doing that wrong? Anyways, have a great monday guys!!

Morning Devon & Mocha! I notice that you have another condo. You can still delete it if no one posts anything to the other one. Sorry about the Pink Monday....come on down Mocha...

sorry about the bounce. But I think it's right to feed in a big drop but maybe the experts can come by and clear that up for us.
Hope you and Peter and Mocha have a great day

Oh...I've learned with Attie I have to feed the fast drops. He will bounce badly if I don't. Keep in mind that a fast drop can trigger a panicky liver just as much as low numbers. I feed Attie on those fast drops to maybe keep the bounce from happening or from being as severe. 400's and 500's. I think feeding the fast drop also helps to clear the bounce more quickly too as it shuts off the hormone signal sooner.

Have a great day and hopefully this bounce will clear quickly.

Are you feeding snacks or are you dividing up Mocha's meals?

If it were me, once I saw that 150 point drop, I might have gone with some MC to slow things down.

OK Mocha, come on down today--I feed the big drops just enough to stop them..mc food would work really well, as it does for Moonie--But sometimes, you just need the hc or even just a drizzle of gravy to bring them up.
You guys are great, and I always say--Know Thy Cat--and you do, so do what you feel Mocha needs!
