Zeke's Yesterday

Good morning LL -

Hard to believe that we're just 5 days away from a brand new year. Hoping all our sugar babies can wrap up the year on a positive note.

Well, Zeke's on the 2nd cycle of his latest reduction. We got some great advice yesterday (from Marje, Carl, Sienne, Dyana - to name a few) and have implemented a change to the routine. Zeke's been diving quite a bit of late so we're giving him higher carb LC (7%) at PS, +1, +2 and maybe +3 as needed to keep him in some higher numbers. Both Zekey and mommabean are a bit worn out from all the ear poking. Had to do a few already but hoping I can stop him from dropping so low so that I won't have to continue testing hourly (or more) for most of the cycle. Keeping fingers and paws crossed that this experiment goes well and that we determine that 1.0u (or maybe it's a fat 1.0u :? ) is just the right dose for Zeke right now. As usual, we'll just have to see how it goes.

Wishing you all a great day.

Wait, what just happened?

Zeke being Zeke?
Good morning, Laura:-)

I'm at work but checking in. Spoon full of food and test in 30?
I'd go with the higher carb stuff.

I'm glad you went with the 1u.

I see you fed him some 2% with a little bit of 7% at amps. With the way he does these early drops, I'd give him the full portion of just 7% at amps....maybe even 1.5-2 portions. Perhaps you could just try it one morning and see if it keeps him from dropping so much.

Good job getting the +1! Bet you thought :roll: :roll: :roll: it's gonna be one of those cycles.

Well, I think I did a fat 1.0. The black line on the whole units is thick. Is the top of the stopper supposed to align with the top, middle or bottom of the line? I aligned with bottom.

The 17% last night made him go up so I decided to be a little conservative and see how this cycle played out for the 1st hour. By the time I thought I knew what to expect it was too late. Silll tweaking the feeding routine. I will try the full 7% tonight.
 
Re: 12/27 Zeke AMPS 166;+1.75 =94;+2.75=48;~6=95

Wow, Zeke really likes to keep you on your toes! That +6 looks better, I hope he surfs it now for you :mrgreen: Hope you're having a good day :-D
 
Re: 12/27 Zeke +7 = 122; +10 = 126

I will be shooting 15 minutes early tonight. I'm considering feeding 10% at shot time instead of 7% since I'm shooting early. Do you think I should consider something a little higher carb? Say 12 or 13?
 
Re: 12/27 Zeke +7 = 122; +10 = 126

I think ten works, Laura. And 15 minutes is no big deal as far as early or late.

Re: 12/27 Zeke PMPS 163

Lovely numbers for Zeke today :-D He has been keeping you busy, Laura!
Hope you are having a good night~
 
Re: 12/27 Zeke PMPS 163; +4.5 = 106 - Sleep ?

I feel silly for asking but since Zeke is not in a low number, is it ok to go to bed as he's steady at 106? Planning to test in 30 minutes which will be around his nadir and two hours after last feeding. Even if he drops a little say to 90, will it be ok to head to bed or do I need to wait for two rising numbers? Could the rising numbers be taken just 30 minutes apart or do they need to be hourly?
 
Re: 12/27 Zeke PMPS 163; +4.5 = 106 - Sleep ?

Yes, if he's flat (like a 100 or a 90) you should be fine with getting some sleep Laura. You might not think so, but this is actually a nice looking cycle. He didn't drop early, he seems to have reached onset later than he's been recently, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with a 106. It looks like you gave him 7% at PMPS? That's great to keep good notes in your "comments" column. Gives you something to look back on later to see what does or doesn't work. The food looks like it did what you wanted it to do.

If you have any doubt, you can just leave out a spoon of LC food for him to snack on while you're sleeping. Get some uninterrupted sleep. :smile:
 
What am I supposed to do about this 250? Ignore it or consider this a trending upwards pattern and call this a failed reduction? Should I withhold the 7% this upcoming cycle or use it to keep him high so he doesn't bounce.

This cycle looks worse than the one the morning of 12/23 on 1.5u. That cycle had some greens unlike this one which was only blue. 'Course there's the "food" variable thrown in for the "fun" of it. Maybe Zeke would have gone green were it not for the food. So really how do you compare and evaluate?
 
You don't completely ignore it, but you don't focus on it either.

You look at the nadirs that he has had at this dose and use those the evaluate whether the dose is good or not.
