4/8 - Wally AMPS=147,+2=147,+5=44,+5.75=48,+6.5=96,+8.75=263,PMPS=461,+2=355,+5=282

AT AMPS +5 he just tested a 44! If my hair weren't already white, Wally would definitely have helped turn it so.

Only sign of such a low number was him begging for food. Fed MC FF and will continue to test every 30-45 minutes to make sure he's going back up. If not, I'll bring out the karo syrup.
 
Wow, that 44 came out of nowhere! Did you double check the test? Big drop from from 147 at +2 but what do I know. I have learned there are few "consistents" with diabetes. I would have white hair too!

Actually - if you look at his spreadsheet, he does this pretty frequently so it's no longer a complete shock... Looks like crisis averted. He's up to 96 at +6.5 and now back up to 263 at +8.75. I expected a bit of a spike. And now he's up to 461 PMPS so there's the bounce!

Whenever Pearl begs for food, that is her sign too that she needs something for a low BG. She NEVER begs unless her BG is low. So, this is Wally's 2nd light green on the fat 1.75 dose. How do you handle your dosing changes, as a long termer?

I'm going to keep him at 1.75 and see what he does tonight/overnight. I've been advised that because he is a long termer that having a light green doesn't mean an automatic reduction.
 
Wally sure is clearing those bounces quickly these days. I wouldn't be surprised if you see another number under 50 very soon. I'm glad a little MC experimenting is working for you. Might be worth watching for cycles like yesterday where he trended up during the day, stayed flat at night, then came down to am preshot, which looked to me to be the bounce breaking. If you see something similar again, and the +2 is about the same as preshot, you might try and catch him a little sooner, maybe +3 or +4 if you can. Just a thought :)
