Have you shot yet? This looks like more of a normal rise than a bounce. could the 48 have been from a shed that was still draining?

i think that was a fine choice. take a look at Sam Siam, Atticus and Daphne's spreadsheets. they are all recently diagnosed as well. you want to continue to shoot lower & lower numbers, even into the 50's as long as you can monitor. as the preshot numbers drop the curve becomes almost a line instead.
decreasing the dose or not - sometimes it's hard to know for sure and there is not really a clear way to tell. often when you've just had a cycle with a lower number that caused a decrease the shed is draining and you've got it still influencing things. so it's like a delayed response to the dose change. if you'd had a 30's it would be absolutely clear-cut that you ought to decrease. a 48, maybe you could go one way or the other. really for me, i would decide based upon whether or not i could monitor.
i think sienne's response to you about "unless he jumps up you should decrease" was assuming that he was going to be unattended. i would call a "jump up" something higher than 112, personally. that's not especially high.
so you can see the situation isn't just obvious and clear-cut. always if mikey's unattended it is better to err on the conservative side if you aren't sure. if you'd had to leave him alone, reducing and leaving high carbs would've been the better choice.
but since you could take him with you, giving the full dose and monitoring is a better option.
have i just hopelessly muddled things? :lol:

I'm SO happy we took him. His numbers stayed green the whole day, never got too low. Could that be from the stress of being out of his "space"? I wasn't sure if I could take him today because it was a family gathering at the nursing home my grandmother is in. We were all supposed to drive together and I basically didn't want to disrupt the plan. However, Marc and I talked it over and decided it was ok to take 2 cars because it was crucial for us to test him. Anyway, he became the "pet therapy" cat and we had a blast with him! For my birthday we had delivered a leopard print stroller for him and he really liked it. He is such an amazing cat! We are home now and he is resting after his big debut! Thanks to all of you for looking out for us!

aw, what a great story!
i went back to work in november and sweat bullets about what i would do if punkin went low. we'd just gotten him treated for his acro-tumor and he'd had a lot of dose reductions. eventually i had a :idea: and decided he'd just have to hang out in the car where i could run out and test him. haven't had to do it yet, but having the option really relieved my stress.
they're more portable than we think! and i'll bet everyone LOVED seeing him in a leopard-print stroller. too cute!

Great day! I'm so happy it worked to take him
Looks like just a coincidence to me that AMPS and PMPS are the same. Hope you all have a good night.
Good work here today.
