I was planning on that too..
It's possible.
That is prety to watchhttps://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/20-3-mauer-amps-178-3-239-6-194.244947/#post-2763685
Soooo that was unexpected!
I'm kinda glad I didn't increase
But why now? Seems like she isn't that good with dose changes, or is it just me?
Have a great day and safe surfing!
Go Mauer 
Nice to see her back in the lagoon!
hang ten baby!
Patience paying offOnset! And heading down again
She didn't bounce!!!!
great job Mauer!! Keep going and show us how its done
But I don't understand why. Nothings changed. Maybe she just needed a little more time on the dose?Patience paying off
Maybe she really just needed more time to stabilizeBut I don't understand why. Nothings changed. Maybe she just needed a little more time on the dose?
I've been hitting myself in the head, running low on strips and not being able to increase...
Well at least she could tell me why
That's not too much to ask, I think... or maybe
good thing you waited
Pssssst, glad we're agreeing on the anti-jinx!!!pssttt... spluttering pancreas.....
I think so too... darn she's flat today!Maybe she really just needed more time to stabilize
I received this answer once: nadir is the lowest measured value in the cycle
Great answer! Now I get itI received this answer once: nadir is the lowest measured value in the cycle
If you in fact did do a partial fur shot, the 18th as you thought (might be worth noting on the SS), then the depot needed time to build back up.
Just to throw a wrinkle in with Levemir, sometimes that nadir can be after the following shot. Neko's Levemir nadir ranged from +5 to +15.

Her onset for Lev was at +5. If she was still going down at preshot, and I did tests before +5, that would be the nadir of the previous shot.
So... today Mauer went slightly up after AMPS, onset was at +4. So in theory if she had continued going down, like the March 9, then every lower number until the onset at +4 could be a nadir? So the March 9 was a nadir from the cycle before?
Interesting! Thanks Wendy
a small bounce in the night, today i would expect a more active cycle good luck and be prepared (not that you ever are not )
I hope you're wrong about thatMauer seems to start getting the hang of this dose
it could be similar to the AM cycle on the 9/3.
haha maybe i'm wrong but with the information from the 9th i would take a +1I hope you're wrong about that
Last reading was 8.2 +9, so she's headed up.
No my spreadsheet is doing the "view only" so just need to open it on my mac first...haha maybe i'm wrong but with the information from the 9th i would take a +1
you don't have the 8.2 on the spreadsheet. When is your shooting time, i just want to know when to start refreshing the spreadsheet haha
so we are in the same time zoneNo my spreadsheet is doing the "view only" so just need to open it on my mac first...
10 and 22, so in 55 minutes
Are we? How nice!so we are in the same time zone
we shoot at 7 so that nights are shorterAre we? How nice!
When is your shot time?
It took a LOT of honey. And it didn't do anything. Dryfood to diabetes did it. But it also made her bounce for a week
Chico reacts to a drop of honey immediately, it is easier to experiment like that
that must have been scary. You had to give her 21% carbs + honey and she started raising. How much food do you usually give? It would be useful for you to write amounts as well to know how much works and how much doesn't work yet
It was scary as **** really! I didn't see it coming and I RAN for the honey! And it was her first reduction so really really scarywe shoot at 7 so that nights are shorter
that's why i would take a +1, to prevent her going under 50. On the bright side she didn't go dangerously low but it is scary to see so much honey without effect
Chico is usually the most active in the first 2-3 hours, after that he flattens out. So if we expect an active cycle for us the most work and testing is in the beginning. I see Mauer went to 1.9 on the 3/3
i can imagine the scare, i once saw a 1.9 (false reading) and i was shacking for another half an hourIt was scary as **** really! I didn't see it coming and I RAN for the honey! And it was her first reduction so really really scary
I'm doing teaspoons in her AM cycle.
AMPS raw 25g, teaspoons throughout the AM cycle. At PMPS 25g raw and immediately after I serve a bowl of LC with 1/3 of water and free feeding during the PM cycle.
So when I note food, it's only a teaspoon.
Before that, I just free fed after her nadir... obviously the teaspoons works better
might be carryover but I actually don't know how come he does that, at some point Gill said that earlier nadirs means that he still has some work to do on the dose, so i was expecting it to change with time but he doesn't seem to want to change
once i will catch Gill again i will ask her what does it mean
Just start the intervention earlier than on the 9th and i think you should be fine.
Exactly. The +2 low was 2 hours before onset, so I was fighting the old PM dose AND and new AM dosei can imagine the scare, i once saw a 1.9 (false reading) and i was shacking for another half an hour
we don't feed at all after +6, only in case of too low values. We feed Chico (during a normal cycle) at +2,+4 and +6, we try not to overfeed him in order for him not to put on more weight. If it is a more active cycle we try to distribute the food in between the hours but we still rarely overfeed him.
it just hit me why Mauer needed more honey on the 9th compared to the 3rd, on the 9th she went below 50s at +2 meanwhile on the 3rd it was at +5
might be carryover but I actually don't know how come he does that, at some point Gill said that earlier nadirs means that he still has some work to do on the dose, so i was expecting it to change with time but he doesn't seem to want to change
I knew it the moment I got in from my morning smoke in the garden. If she's high she's sluggish and not talking or moving. She went from the couch to the bathroom and there she was demanding a snuggle and talking a lot...
shot-spot, new word!
shot-spot - i like thatExactly. The +2 low was 2 hours before onset, so I was fighting the old PM dose AND and new AM dose
But as Wendy said, with Lev nadir can be +15, or +14 as that specific day.
I believe there's a sticky that describes the carryover effect.

If she were high, I'd have to carry her to her shot-spot
Chico had an awesome start too!otherwise it is a nice start
i know, we want to let him drop just a bit under 2.8 so we don't give him honey but he still just teases us
going close but not really
Sometimes her pupils fool me. Usually when she's in good numbers they're big, these past weeks they've been smallshot-spot - i like that
we can read Chico's BG as well from his behavior
Never say neveri know, we want to let him drop just a bit under 2.8 so we don't give him honey but he still just teases us
antijinx Sasha antijinxSometimes her pupils fool me. Usually when she's in good numbers they're big, these past weeks they've been small
Never say never
I think it will happen before you know it
He is really doing awesome! You haven't seen red in forever!
I can imagine! Wish I had the same start as you. Instead I wasted a yearantijinx Sasha antijinx
Yeah, he is doing better than we ever dreamt when we started this
It was pure luck that our vet sucked at diabetes and it was clear from the beginning so we had to really go into reading mode. and the second luck we had was to find this forum, there is no way we would have mobilized like this without it.I can imagine! Wish I had the same start as you. Instead I wasted a year
i didYou must have studied a lot of spreadsheets, since you recognize patterns!
i starred for days in Chico's spreadsheet and then i spent weeks worth of time starring at other people's spreadsheets haha My husband keeps on telling me to stop wasting my time haha but i love that i can see patterns, and that at least some decisions are taken consciously
