So this is the first time the french face has been this low, and from what I can tell, I should go ahead and shoot- I poked him twice just to make sure the number was right. I have syrup just in case, and lots of test strips.

I should still be shooting him normally, correct? I would love a second pair of eyes.

Thanks.

Have you fed yet? I would get another test now, I need to look at the SS...please don't shoot yet. brb

112, about 30 min post food.
 
Re: 4.14 D'Artagnan PMPS 75- First Time Shooting Low- Advice

Ok..for the future, don't feed until you are ready to shoot. The number you are getting now is food influenced...so you can't tell if kitty is rising naturally.

How badly will it mess up your schedule if you have to stall for a while? Whatever time you shoot tonight, you need to shoot 12 hours from that time tomorrow morning.

Normally I do- I have an audition tonight which is why I was trying to trim time, clearly that did not work.

Moving the time is no problem, the bf works from home tomorrow, he shoots and tests, and I can cancel an audition for cat tonight.

Kitties love to mess with our plans! Sorry about that, but I would not shoot yet. Get another test at +13...will that be about an hour after you fed? You want to see which way his numbers are heading.

I'll link a some info for shooting low in a sec...
 
Re: 4.14 D'Artagnan PMPS 75- First Time Shooting Low- Advice

Thanks so much for your help with this!

His +13 is posted in the ss.
 
Re: 4.14 D'Artagnan PMPS 75- First Time Shooting Low- Advice

Ok, he rose a lot...I would go ahead and shoot, and start with a +1 and +2...I know it's not the lowest you have ever shot, but it is food influenced, so he may drop down again. Please put your tests in your header as you get them...and the +13 will be your PMPS. You can move the +12 number into the +11 box with a note that it's a +12 if you want, or put it in the comments section.

If you don't understand any of that, please ask questions...sometimes I am as clear as mud and I don't mind explaining again! ;-)

Here's the links...

Here's a post on dealing with low preshot numbers, I would suggest that you print it out so it's handy when you need it. dealing with low preshots

The other link is the stickie on being data ready to shoot low numbers I would also print that out, and keep it handy.

They are both great to help guide you if no one is around when you have a low preshot number.

Basically, the first time you get a number like you got tonight, you want to stall and get a few tests 15-30 minutes apart so you can see if the numbers are rising....whenever you stall, don't feed, because you want to make sure the numbers are rising naturally, not due to food.

It's no problem, glad to help...I'm just paying it forward for all the help I got from others. :smile:

One more thing you want to pull and print out...the link in my signature for how to handle low numbers...you will want that one too!
