    Yesterday

    Wild night in the neighborhood!!!
    Tiger dipped down to 44 and didn't want to come back up! And we found out he DOES NOT like honey!
    I am very surprised at his AM number considering how much HC he ate!
    I'm guessing he might bounce pretty high after last night.

    :DWe got our green wishes granted! And we wish green for everyone:)

    Oh goodness! So sorry no one dropped off coffee :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

    For you HC, what brand/flavor is it? And, fwiw, I'd add the amount you fed each time to your notes section so you can refer back to it for next time. Perhaps it may be worth grabbing a higher carb HC if the 20% didn't bump enough (or his depot was super full :))? I generally fed Jax HC when he was in the 40s and then MC in the 50s though some of the feeding depends on where in the cycle one is.

    Congrats on the reduction :cat:

    Thank you Susanne! :bighug:
    I gave FF chicken and cheddar delights-20%. Gave him a spoonful at a time. MC was 12% FF Beef and gravy. I also have 15% FF. I put some that are a little higher in the cart this morning!
    I kept thinking he was going to be past his nadir any minute, but he didn't! He usually is early, like between +3-4! We were down into the 40s!
    I can't get the SS to put the info into the +5 cell for some reason!
    I keep a paper journal also where I put more lengthy info.

    You and Tiger did great, Kathy :bighug:

    I think that was a good idea. I used mostly 20% with Jax but had some higher carb on hand just in case. ECID of course :)

    Do you want help with the SS? Usually the paint brush tool fixes those kinds of issues for me (so pick a cell you want it formatted like, click paintbrush in the toolbar, then click your +5 cell). If that doesn't work, I'm sure Bhooma will help (just tag her :cat: and she'll work her magic).

    Glad you have that - I did the same and entered it in my SS when I had the time. When it's in the SS, people helping you online can also see it and can advise...so if I ever help someone feed a curve, I go to their SS to see what they fed their kitty in similar numbers previously. You certainly don't have to do this, just something to think about.

    Hope you can get some rest tonight (anti-jinx ;)) :bighug:

    Oh lol :joyful: you just write the @ symbol and then the persons screen name - choices will pop up as you type. I would be @JaxBenji :bighug:

    @Bandit's Mom can you stop by when you get a chance to see if Kathy still needs help with her PMPS +5 cell from last night :bighug::bighug::bighug:

    I had a feeling you would get another low around +5 and I was not sure about +6 but had an idea Tiger would still be close down there.
    I was just going by how Mouzer has done. When Mouzer has done those lower numbers, I got to where I couldnt let up until +6 and for Mouzer, even +7 had gone by. I might try to remember to watch Tiger's SS. It would be neat to see one do like Mouzer :)

    I thought the same thing when I saw the title! "Here we go again!".

    The 2U depot will influence 4-6 cycles after the reduction. So expect some action!

    What did you feed at +3?

    For the future, when you see drops like today 175 > 92 > 56, you feed slightly higher carbs to slow them down. If not at 92, definitely at 56 (MC or HC).

    He is in the normal BG range. Once they get used to it, they really enjoy it!

    Nope. This is still the 2U depot at play. Hold the 1.75u.

    Feed LC and Good night!
