Hello,

History: 4/12PMPS 231, +2.5 180, +3.75 198, +5.5 144, + 6.40 59/57, +7 79, +9 85, +11 123,
4/13 AMPS 100, 1U skinny at Noon.

After hitting 40 on 04/11 AMPS +4 a reduction by skinning the 1U dose was made. I didn't take full 0.25 reduction because of her recent ketones history. There is also bouncing. We do not have calipers so we only think that we gave her 0.8U on both cycles of the 04/12. Her cycle begging at noon PST.

The skinning was done by letting out 2 drops (0.1U x 2) out of full unit. There was slight increase in water intake orally. Don't know if it affects the BG in any way.

The plan is to keep the same dose for a couple more cycles and to experiment with food. Any suggestions?

A lot of work still to do making the curve flatter/smoother. Maybe the dose needs to go up to 0.9U, or maybe the food should be 5% v. 3%? It is a working progress.

I appreciate any thoughts and comments about what we are doing here. Thank you!

Wishing all our kitties wonderful day at the lagoon

PMPS +11 is 123.

I am worried about possibility that the pre-shot is too low.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

123 is a shootable number as long as you can monitor and have plenty of testing supplies and HC food.

I'm confused. Is the 123 your PMPS for today 4/13?

The 123 is her PMPS +11.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Have you gotten the AMPS number yet?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Have you gotten the AMPS number yet?

AMPS was 100, I gave 0.8, it is her full dose for the third cycle. She ate 1 Tbs 3% & 5% mix.
Do you think I should test sooner than planned +2?
I update the SS constantly; hope it's accessible.
And , also, should I make a new thread for Apr 13 beginning with her AMPS 100 or is it okay to keep this one going on?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I would start a new thread for a new day.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Hi Tanya! I think it is okay to keep this thread and just change the title to reflect today's date and the AMBS. Ducia is looking so good.

I think I would get a +2 to make sure you are on top of steering her if you need to and to indicate how active the cycle could be.


ETA: Technically this is today thread you just started it by giving the +11 from the PM cycle

 

[carfurby (GA)]

If you're worried, you can get a +1 and a +2.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I think I would get a +2 to make sure you are on top of steering her if you need to and to indicate how active the cycle could be.

That were my thoughts exactly. But when I shoot her at AMPS 90 on Apr 7, the activities begun right away at +1. Ninty and 100 not too different..The dose was 1.25 back then, though.
I will re-title this tread right away without waiting for the old one to "sank down" on the Forum to open a new one.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

If you're worried, you can get a +1 and a +2.

Hmm.. Tempting.
But I keep seeing her ears in my nightmares

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

A little LC food to keep her surfing might be a good idea right now since she dropped 19 points in an hour.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I did take the +1 - 81.
Gave her 1 1/2 tsp 6%.
It will be active cycle.
Would you please check on us from time to time? It is soo early, and she has already eaten over a Tablespoon.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

I'll pop in and out .

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Looks like she's surfing. Maybe another teaspoon of LC to help her to continue surfing.

She had 1.5 of 9% at +2, after the 70 reading.
Waiting until +3 test to see what it did.
Most drops occur between 3.15 - 4.

Nice surfing.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

It's looking like a nice flat cycle for Ducia.

There is an invisible food conveyor in action behind the scene.

Oh, we have had one of those before. It's a delicate balance of giving enough to keep them surfing and not sending them to the moon.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

You might want to see if you can get to the next test without any food. If she were to start dropping, you know what to do.

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

What a great day you're having here!

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

AMPS +5 116 - 3 hours (!) after 1.5 tsp 9% Nature Variety Original Salmon, 2 hours after broth only from the same can, no solids just the liquid.

ECID.

Lessons learnt: 9% although technically LC (<10%) acts like MC even in small quantities and even pre-nadir;
9% Broth=9% pate. Who would have thought.
Next test is when she asks for food. For now is too busy staring at the birds outside her window.
Thank you for watching over us

Not to the moon exactly but still away from the lagoon. Oops!

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

It's been a beautiful cycle! It appears that Dulcia is very carb sensitive like Bubba. You did a good job with her today.

Thank you!

To keep up with her 200+calories there is still 7 tsp of LC to be eaten.

At the moment she is not interested (I didn't offer thou, wanted to check the +6 three hours with no food).

How would you spread it for the rest of the day? Her latest time to eat is +9.

Good question. Looking at last night SS, she really popped up after her +9 meal but some of that could be bounce too from the nice greens earlier. Maybe the calories could be redistributed to be before the +9 unless of course she were to be too low at that time. Let's see what others think @Wendy&Neko
