Good evening! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I have a question about raising numbers with food. This is only cycle 3 since Noah had a reduction. He is already at 56 at +3 and his nadir is USUALLY around +6. Should I try to prevent him from dropping below 50 (i.e. give him food with maple syrup) since he can't take the reduction anyways?

ETA: I just gave him his regular +3 snack (7 pieces of Stella and Chewy's duck). He is supposed to be on a diet to lose some extra weight, but I can feed him a bit extra to help raise his numbers. I'm sure he won't mind AT ALL!
 
I'd try to slow him down, but don't overdo it. If he's hard to get up or stay up, that could be a sign he wants another reduction. And he'll let you know if he really wants a reduction.

Exciting times at Chez Noah. :D:cool:

Ok thank you! I'll retest soon (+4) and see if he went up after the snack. I'm sick so testing once an hour is all I can manage. I'll stick to LC food for now and see how it goes. Hopefully he'll give a couple of cycles to catch my breath after the last reduction!

And yes very exciting times! We're getting closer to his initial dose (2 units). March 22nd will be three months since diagnosis. I'm so happy I found this place and get to ask questions after questions. Thank you @Wendy&Neko for always taking the time to answer my annoying questions! :)
 
I'm really starting to wonder about the Stella and Chewy's duck. There was a post in the Health forum. Good for tonight since I want to go to bed early, but I will try to see if I get a rise in BG when I give him some next time. Maybe just a coincidence tonight and Noah's nadir was earlier, but I got the same type of increase on 3/17 between +6 and +7. I will try to write to the company to get the actual numbers.
 
so happy Noah is healing so much... but mama bean needs some sleep Noah... so time to surf a little higher and be safe tonight... you are rocking this Melanie keep up all the great work with him :bighug::bighug::bighug:
