That is quite a drop. You might want to feed slightly higher carbs to slow her down.

Thanks, I didn't want to panic, but yes, I think I may just - I'm getting a test about 20 mins after her LC snack and will post and decide then.

There's no need to panic. As long as you are monitoring you have the means to keep her safe. I was asking you to intervene with carbs to flatten the curve 
It's possible she may not need them though, so let's see the +2.5 ish.

thanks Bhooma, I saw your message at about +3 (I'd made a mistake in the subject, 63 was actually at +2.5, have corrected it now), so I tested again at +3 and the LC slowed it a bit, but didn't stop it (61), so I gave her some MC for a little snack at +3, will check again at about +3.5.There's no need to panic.

63 and 61 are pretty much the same number. So she is flat between +2.5 and +3. What is your MC%? I think you can take a break and test at +4. The MC will give her a little boost.

It is Whiskas Gravy Pouches, I would have to look it up, it typically doesn't push her very high when she's dropping, hence my assumption of MC - will look up now, and test at +4.

Basing my MC estimate on this spreadsheet of UK foods: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J5JpMe6TDXrHq_aTl9hUtHy6Gs9oRBqlz4nPGKxtySA/pubhtml#
Have taken an excerpt screenshot for Whiskas with headings and pasted below.
I feed her Whiskas 1 or 7+ years Pouches in jelly (not casserole or pure delights) depending on what I can get (they are showing here as about 2.9%), the Whiskas 1+ and 7+ pouches in Gravy ones show as 5.8%, hence my use of MC for them.

Oh that's low carb then. Only 5.8% carbs. MC is between 10 and 15%.

Thanks, I generally find it pushes her up a bit more than the jelly variety or the Bon Appetit which are the daily meals I rotate; which is why I steer away for it as daily food (although she LOVES it), and I find it is a nice stabilizer for her when she's dropping without pushing her too high
... So today it has pushed her to 70 at +4, so I will stay with LC until +6 when she's hungry enough for 3rd breakfast

Nice surf! Now that she's higher, you can stop feeding her unless she is hungry or develops stomach acid from long gaps in meals.

Thanks, I will probably give her a meal at about +5.5 as I have a client meeting at their offices which coincides with +6, and need to feed her again at about +8 so she can surf until PMPS test.
She sometimes doesn't come to the auto feeder for her +6ish meal if I am out, and then there is a risk that everything goes out of whack for the afternoon.
