Good Thursday morning!

@Bandit's Mom, her AMPS was a bit lower than usual, but I went ahead and increased the dose to 2U. I have to be away for +3 and +4. So I will feed her +2.5 to get her through. Hopefully, she will coast gently today

Good luck with the increase Kit!

Sorry! Only just seeing this. Considering her penchant for diving around +3/+4, I would have fed a little MC (10-12%) at +2.75. You are back for a +5?

Thanks, Deb! But she seems to have decided to go ahead to make me crazy anyway. Going up at +5 when she tends to go down. What on earth?

Thank you Bhooma!
I did feed her a bit MC 13% mixed with LC at +2.75 before I left.
Somehow at +5 she is back up to 211mg/dL. Did MC work too well? I'll test her +6 and see.

Morning Kit good luck with the increase

She's just being a cat!

Mikan, don't be weird! Better too high than too low, anyway.

Good morning Diane!
Mikan's BG numbers are behaving strangely today. I can't figure this out, but at least she is in the safe zone and I can go back to work

Hahahaha. Yes! She is doing a good job at that

This might explain it , did a search on our site and found this
Some cats can see an increase in the BG on cycle 2 or 3 after an increase. We call it New Dose Wonkiness (NDW). This sticky has more info on NDW as well as bouncing:
New Dose Wonkiness (NDW) and failed reductions

Looks like she wants to win Ms. Kitty Weird pageant

But so true. She's on the safe ground. I thought I would have to monitor her more closely today, but with these numbers, I can go back to work a bit earlier than I planned

Oooooh. Very interesting! Thank you for the information, Diane! Wonky she is today, but just being so cute, asking for a lot of attention. I want to go back to work but how can you leave such an adorable thing!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

You're welcome

Quite a drop at PM+2! Fed her some LC mixed with a 1/2 tsp MC 13%. She is a full of surprises today
