Re: 12/30 Mikey AMPS 310/2.5u +6.5/272 PMPS 292 +2/241 +6.5/
just tested mikey at +6.5 BG was 42. Is anyone around to just help me out. I tested at 5:45am. Gave him 1/4can as usual. I should retest in 30min?
interesting that the last time he was this low was exactly 1 month ago

Did you give him a little bit of high carb food? Just a bit - less than a tablespoon, then yes - retest in 30 minutes. You don't want to feed him too much because you want him to stay a bit hungry in case you need to give him more HC food again, plus you don't want to end up with a "scarf and barf". You want to keep repeating the feeding/testing every 30 minutes (ie, "lather, rinse, repeat") until Mikey tests conisistently in a safe range (at least over 50, but you don't want to over-carb him, either). Keep in mind that the effects of the food will wear off, so you do need to keep testing for a while.

No prob - sounds like you've got it under control

Congrats on earning that reduction, too!

I just gave him LC food (the FF pate which I normally feed) I didn't want to go right into HC and get a false food spike reading if I didn't need to. Was that a bad decision? He is rising but slowly. Do I need to give him HC?

I've been watching Mikey's ss updates and was just wondering myself whether now was the time to stop with the food and see what happens. I'm sure someone with more experience will be along soon to give you the answer. Good job today :mrgreen:

You're doing great!!
You only need to give HC to bring numbers above 50. If LC is working to keep Mikey surfing, that's wonderful. Sometimes, you need to keep giving HC if numbers drop back down. The more time that Mikey is spending in those 50s and 60s (basically, in the greens) the more opportunity for his pancreas to heal.

Since it looks like Mikey is heading up, I think you can wait until AMPS to re-test. Mikey's in safe numbers. The only reason you would want to test at +11 would be if numbers were still bobbling around or if you were unsure if your AMPS was a dropping number. Given that you're seeing a nice rise, I think you can hold off until shot time.

Unless his numbers are way lower than what you're used to seeing, shoot your usual dose. If you're not sure, post before you shoot -- just don't feed.

Hi Jen!
Good job with this!
Doesn't that number in the 40's mean a reduction?

Carl's correct. The 42 would warrant a reduction. I'd be attentive to numbers for the next couple of days though. It looks like you shot 2.5u yesterday AM. It's possible that you saw the effect of the dose increase in the PM cycle even though your reduced the dose back to 2.25u for the PM cycle.
Given how tenaciously that Mikey has held on to the yellows and pinks, I'm tempted to suggest that you hold the dose for 2 more drops into the 40s. If you look at this version of the protocol, it's what is specified. It's up to you how you want to handle the reduction. These are all options.

ok AMPS was 360! my goodness he went up fast!!! so i am shooting 2.5u? I know Carl asked if the #'s in the 40's warranted a dose reduction?
Am I to expect another "green episode" after his shot? I am supposed to have New Years Eve plans, lol

Given the bounce, I would shoot the old dose in order to help numbers come back down. Isn't 2.25u your usual dose, though? I'm not sure why you increased to 2.5u yesterday AM and then decreased back to 2.25u in the PM.

sorry, that was my error (i corrected the SS). he got 2.5u last night NOT 2.25.
Yesterday was the start of an increased dose from 2.25 to 2.5 as per Marje recommendation since I was past 6 cycles with still being pink/yellow
With that correction, I am to shoot the 2.5u?

It's not a matter of cycles. You simply allow Mikey to drop a total of 3 times below 50.
Here's what I would suggest. Since I was basing my suggestion on the info on your SS that was incorrect, how about reducing the dose to 2.25u. However, I would shoot 2.5u this cycle. Given that Mikey is bouncing, shooting through the bounce this way will help to get his numbers back down a bit quicker. Remember, a bounce can last for as long as 72 hours.

You're not increasing. You're holding the dose to help the bounce to clear more quickly. And yes, you can reduce to 2.25u this evening.
You can drop the dose now, if you'd prefer. Shooting through the bounce is just a strategy for this kind of situation.

I would get a +2.
You can edit out the numbers from your PMPS from your subject line. The info is on your SS and it's now yesterday's data.

thanks for the reminder Sienne. With all the focus on the low numbers i forgot to start a new condo. I did a +1 because we are leaving but decided to take him with us. I've taken him with me before, i feel more comfortable than leaving him. I have my phone and will be able to post/reply from it.
