Not at all! Happy to help!
@tiffmaxee will also be around. Tag her as well.

You can shoot any number over 100 without stalling/asking, remember?
From tomorrow that becomes 90 and day after 80.

Nooooo. No more scaring me today

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Nooooo. No more scaring me today

OK. In half an hour it will be tomorrow for me. Wonder if that 90 rule should apply to MY tomorrow or yours!

 

[Hercule's mum]

great job both of you! Mauer had an awesome day!
In my experience Sasha, it is as Bhoooma says, if you have strips, food, honey and awakeness you can manage whatever numbers come your way!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Gosh you're freaking me out. I really don't feel like shooting the 80's! At all!

106 and 89 are well within meter variance.

 

[SashaV]

106 and 89 are well within meter variance.

Heck no. 89 is GREEN!
People who doesn't know anything about this, thinks I'm trying to kill my cat
I'm almost certain my vet thinks so too

Awakeness... that's almost over for today. I'm so tired and my brain is fried
I can't do this for several cycles in a row... hopefully this will become the new normal at some point. But this is why I need 10 hours of sleep

 

[Gill & George]

hey Sasha, when is your PMPS

 

[SashaV]

hey Sasha, when is your PMPS

27 minutes

 

[Gill & George]

27 minutes

was the 95 @+8 the last test you got?

 

[SashaV]

was the 95 @+8 the last test you got?

Jup. I was told it was unnecessary to test more, so I'm challenging my urge and nerves.....

 

[SashaV]

131 at PMPS

 

[Gill & George]

OK if it is lower than normal, I won't be able to stay with you, through to nadir, so I'm going to see if there are some other folk about that can be with you.

Seems like you now know what carbs are in your food for now.
Have you seen the UK food list it actually has a lot of foods that are made and available in the UK for your LC choices.

It's been a while since we used MC or HC foods as George is in remission.
Some of the cosma thai varieties are MC, and the gourmet gold in sauce (gravy) are HC (around 25%), you will have to do the calculations for those as they vary between flavours.
Watch out with zooplus sometimes the info on their web page regarding analysis is not correct.

How do you feel about that it' almost the same as this morning?

 

[SashaV]

Well, it's not that low. And I'm not planning on staying up either.... I'll set alarms to test.
@Wendy&Neko what do you think?

 

[Gill & George]

Wendy is west coast canada, so she may be around as will Elise and then there is bron.

 

[SashaV]

How do you feel about that it' almost the same as this morning?

I hate it. As I did this morning. But this morning was morning, well rested... can't say the same for now

 

[SashaV]

I'm not going low carb tonight. I'll do that tomorrow when I'm awake to test during the cycle. But still...

 

[Gill & George]

Well, it's not that low. And I'm not planning on staying up either.... I'll set alarms to test.
@Wendy&Neko what do you think?

With Lev, onset is usually around +4 so if you feed now the numbers will likely rise a bit with the food. At onset his numbers may dip, so you will need to get a check around then and that will probably telll you what sort of cycle you will get, and how much you will need to test.

 

[Gill & George]

You had some LC that was on the high side (9% ) you could try that as her main meall,

 

[Gill & George]

When would your before bed test be?

 

[SashaV]

If I shoot full dose, witch I think is best, since she will rise before onset, then ill do a +2 and +4, and decide when to test based on what numbers she gives.

This is my before bed. Ill shoot and run of to bed to get as much sleep IF she drops

 

[Gill & George]

OK shoot,
Use the higher LC for her meal now,

 

[SashaV]

OK shoot,
Use the higher LC for her meal now,

I'll shoot usual dose.
And hope I won't regret it later

 

[Gill & George]

If you need help at +2 or +4 change your thread tiitle and shout for help.
I'll try get some west coast eyes on you, for later.

 

[Gill & George]

I'll shoot usual dose.
And hope I won't regret it later

Do you think you could start recording what % food you fed and when in the cycle on the SS? it will help you to understand what works for Mauer and will help us help you. thx

 

[Gill & George]

I used to put my alarm across the room so I had to get up, otherwise I sometimes turned it off because I was so tired.

 

[SashaV]

I've tried that, but obviously it helps when I know the right carb content
Just fed her 7% and the rest of the can from today of 19% - and those cans are put away now, so I won't accidently use one.
She got 19% previous today, and I'm not tampering with her food when I'm off to sleep.

I used to put my alarm across the room so I had to get up, otherwise I sometimes turned it off because I was so tired.

Very useful! I have ADHD and getting Ritalin, so I've just taken a pill I can sleep on, so I won't be sleeping too deep and won't wake up. My alarm is right next to me, still yesterday it took three alarms to get me up, and I didn't turn them off
So if there's any chance for some action, I take the "easy" way anything else is way to dangerous.

And now I need that sleep!
One and a half hour to +2! Fingers crossed

 

[Hercule's mum]

I'm betting she is going to bounce a bit tonight. Lev likes consistency, so well done you for giving the whole dose.

 

[SashaV]

185 +2
Haven't slept yet. My bed got invaded by cats! And now the dog. And I'm singing this....

Next up +4!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

If she is higher, it's a bounce and call it a night!

 

[SashaV]

If she is higher, it's a bounce and call it a night!

She almost had 24 hours in good numbers..
I have a feeling that I'm shooting blue again today..

 

[Bandit's Mom]

What did you feed her last night? The HC Rocco or only LC (9% Sheba or lower)?

 

[SashaV]

What did you feed her last night? The HC Rocco or only LC (9% Sheba or lower)?

HC and 7%.
She stayed blue.
Now I've put the HC away, and from her amps I'm starting on only LC. How does that sound?

 

[SashaV]

I'll be home to test like yesterday.
And I have plenty HC

 

[Bandit's Mom]

So...am going to take a nap. Feed Mauer the 9% carbs this cycle and let's see where it takes her. Remember, we want to earn a reduction - we want to move back to feeding LC, so don't keep propping her up with HC.
I will be back in an hour. It's still a while till her onset!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
