yesterday: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11699

Well, it was an almost picture perfect day yesterday! I was totally loving everything right up until I did my before bed check last night & found that darn stinkus pinkus :-x

Thankfully, we are off to a nice sunny yellow start to today! Unfortunately, I have an appointment after work today & won't be home until just before PMPS time, so I won't be able to get a spot check in during today's cycle.

WCR: Everything seems to be fine in Morris' world this morning! He was waiting patiently for me on his couch this morning! All P's are in working order.

Been thinking.....if he doesn't start getting to the lower yellows in the next few days, perhaps the next dose I should try would be a skinny 3.0u. What do you think? I am off work on Friday, so I hope to take him to the vets office just to get him weighed & drop off an updated copy of his ss (it's been awhile since I gave her a copy!).
 
Re: 4/12 Morris AMPS 274; PMPS 470! YIKES!

That is a pretty big bounce! I do not like it at all!!!! I did think about dosecreasing him up to a full 3.0u once I saw that reading, but then decided against the dosecrease just yet. Since I wasn't home in time to get a check on him before PMPS time, I am not sure if this is him just bouncing from blue/yellow (like he has done in the past), or if he actually went a little lower (into the greens!) while I was at work today.

What does everyone else think? Dosecrease tomorrow morning, or wait another cycle or two before deciding? If I did dosecrease tomorrow morning, he would have dose #6 Thurs evening & I am off work Fri/Sat/Sun to see how he is doing (I should also be home right after work Thurs & be in for the evening).

I think you have room for an increase. That said, you need to do what is comfortable for you. I tend to increase Gabby so it coincides with when I can be home to monitor.

the last red on his ss was followed by a green 70 @ +8 (the same cycle). if at all possible, i'd try to get a sleep test in tonight to see what he's up to... or should i say down to? :-D
he could be going lower than you think...
 
When I did Morris' before bed check, he was bleeding quite a bit from the front side of his ear....his reading was 461. Since he had been wiggling quite a bit & it was tough to get enough blood into the strip in time, & since he was still bleeding, I decided to redo the test. On the 2nd test, I used blood from the back side of his ear (the usual side) and that reading was 479. I would say there was less than a minute in between these 2 tests, so I was a little surprised with how different the numbers were!

Thanks Sienne. I will see where he is at in the morning & decide then.

I don't think that will be possible tonight.....I already took my sleeping pill before I read your post.

If he is still high like this in the morning, I will probably go ahead with the dosecrease. If he is in the lower end of red, or better yet, into a nicer color than red, I will hold off on the dosecrease & get more spot checks in before proceeding to the next dose.
