21/01 Hercules AMPS 122, +3 149, +6 211, +10 193

Posted in your old thread, but I figured it's better if I do here.

He's indeed seeing good numbers. No longer bouncing to pinks as much. That's progress!

Looks like he's going to keep you busy this morning. See if you need to intervene with MC or 10% LC early in the cycle to prevent dives later. He's starting off low and still dipping at +1 rather than a food bump.
 
He also threw up his AMPS food, so I wasn't sure if that might be the explanation?
I fed him again at+1, and will test at +2. I guess if I don't see the food bump then, I start panicking?

LOL. No panicking. You take deep breaths and feed him slightly higher carbs. What do you have in the 10-14% range?

Hey! I got the "ball of steel" award from Sue... ;):smuggrin:

+2 (1 hour after food): 106 So it will be a busy day....

The Uk people have been moaning that we do not have medium carb options. So, i only have the hills diabetic food.....
He was do for his second meal, so I gave his normal LC with a bit of grave from HC.... but perhaps move to the Hill diet food if drops in the next hour?
 
Mixing a little HC with LC is a good enough MC! :-)
Hill's Diabetic is dry? What carb%?

I'm going into yoga class in 15 minutes and will miss your +3. @Sue and Luci might be around briefly to help.

I will be back in 90 mins. Good luck! ;)
 
I'm just popping in to post Luci's condo for the day - I'm sorry but not likely to be around much this morning - still working on a big project with a deadline...hopefully there's someone else on early...

Now Karen must be panicking. LOL.

Karen, if he dips at +3, feed a little LC+HC. You might have a cycle similar to Jan 9th. We want to feed the HC at +3, rather than at +6.
 
No need to panic! Beautiful numbers on that SS - Herc is heading right where we all want our kitties to go!!! Slide on down Hercules...


If you can't find carb kitty foods, you can use rice flour, potato starch, etc. You can mix it with a little water and add it to the foods you have on hand...you'll have to do a bit of trial and error to find out how much of an impact that has on slowing things down before you resort to the syrups...

Hang in there, you've got this!
 
Don't worry. During the day, with enough coffe in my hands and a jar of honey in the cupboard we will be fine!!!

Enjoy the yoga Bhooma!
Hope your project goes well Sue! I am supposed to be working too, LOL!
 
+3 is 149. So I didn't give him anything. His throwing up at AMPS must have thrown him off, but I'm assuming we are back to a more usual patterm. Or perhaps already bouncing...:rolleyes:
 
It could be a mini bounce from the 94 yesterday morning or just not feeling well. Relax until PMPS.

Thanks everyone, It does look like he is doing gentler jumps these days.....(anti-jinx). Just wish I could understand a bit better the rationale, so I knw when to catch up a good night of sleep or go out on a run... Not complaining, just wishing (you hear that, hercs?)!
