Hi, I know everyone is sleeping as I post this. I'm doing Max's curve this morning, newbie. I'm a little worried at his +2.5 number, he is at 59. I don't know if this is his peak, any advice. There are no symptoms of hypo. He was at 315 at his AMPS.

EDIT: No symptoms, he ate about 1 tablespoon of his usual low carb FF, at +3.5 his number is 61
EDIT: Tried to get a +4.5 reading...twice, the usual problem, not enough blood...and the first two readings it was pouring out, but he wolfed down half a can of low carb FF, so I'm sure his numbers must have started to climb. Will try again in a while
 
hi...what a drop! You are doing what we would advise, feeding low carb & testing..surfing 50s is ok..if he drops to 40s i would feed medium carb...30s i would feed a little high carb but not much...just monitor & make sure he is surfing or rising, not dropping!
 
Welcome Max's bean!

I saw that you posted on Health back in mid-April. Do you have an updated spreadsheet (SS)?

You've gotten great advice regarding how to steer Max's numbers. For the future, I would test every 20 - 30 min. and continue to give him a few bites of food (what the carb content is will depend on the numbers) until you see his numbers either level off or start to rise. You will need a couple of consecutive tests to make sure the numbers are stable since once the food begins to wear off, his numbers may start to drop since it's so early in the cycle. It's hard to know what Max's usual pattern is without a SS.
 
Another Max! Welcome to LL! Follow the advice given in the posts above and you'll be OK. Again, welcome. You've come to the right place.
