Day 3 on 3.25 U Lantus dose, (TR) Today Ivy dipped lower (for her) at AMPS, feeding and shot time.
This am she dipped to around 95 on Libre 3 then bounced up to around 277 +4.5, still rising/bouncing from lower am #s.

(One week ago she did same AMPS drop, adjusting to new increased dose on day 2 of dose)

She seems to take a few days on increased new dose, NDW??, to adapt to a new dose, surfs high into 300's.

**Note: Her prior Libre 3 sensor ended at feeding/shot time this am.
Activated new sensor and new readings are in line with the lower BG's of prior (ending) sensor (did not cross check with handheld, since she didn't go into dangerous low numbers/limes).
(BG DATA WAS UNAVAILABLE on Libre from shot time until +1.5, so not sure how low she went)

?? Question: Since she takes a bit of time (1-2 days) to adjust to each dose increase, do I wait till day 4 or so to increase dose?
My concern is she tends to drop lower for her at AMPS after a few days of a new dose increase with threats of lime green low numbers.

@Bandit's Mom I saw your advice to increase her dose in my post from yesterday (link above), but that was before this am when she finally worked this dose a bit. Any ideas based on this current dose/ activity this morning and an increase?

I believe the Libre readings during the first 12 hours (or is it 24 hours) of a new sensor are unreliable. It would be good to cross-check any lower numbers you get on the Libre with a regular meter - especially those that affect dosing decisions. Since you saw a green on this dose (not sure if it was a correct read), you would hold this dose 10 cycles in all.

Here's a detailed document on the Libre written by another member:

I agree with everything you said @Bandit's Mom
This is a great reference document on the Libre devices. I’ve read most of this before but serves as a great reference!
I will hold this dose 2 more days and see what happens.
It was interesting that both Libre devices were in the same range of quickly dropping numbers. Plus the drop seemed to follow her trend of NDW higher numbers for 1/2 days, then a fast drop at AMPS 1/2 days after new dose increase. Thank you so much
