Re: 5/20 Gus PM+10=160/ +11=102
Look at those beautiful greens on your spreadsheet :mrgreen:
He seems to be dropping again, but this may just be a double dip. If he continues to drop for +12, I would suggest you post and ask for advise.

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105
Morning Bev and Gus! I am just catching up on condos and read yesterday's condo. You did a great job with the guidance of Sienne and Libby and and the others; I don't want to miss anyone as everyone is so supportive any time you need help! It's a great AMPS, too, so another exciting day. Take care and have a wonderful day.

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105
Good morning, Bev, nice hooting! This is the lowest you have ever shot, please start out with a +1 and +2. Since you had a big drop from +10 to +11, you might want to get a +0.5....but certainly by +1, ok?

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105
I'm glad I checked back in to see if there were any updates here. I'm glad because I was only going to do +2, but after reading your instructions, Laurie, I can see now why the +1 is so important. Will post right after the +1. Thank you, weird to say but, "I'm new at this" And I have to add that I'm feeling really optimistic with this turn of events.

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105
I'm glad you checked back in, Bev. Gus is looking AWESOME! You should be optomistic!
You've done a great job learning to use R and handling the high numbers....I'm sure you will do just as well with the lower ones! It's important to get the early (and late) cycle data so you know how Gus will react to shooting low. The +1 will give you an idea of how much of a food spike Gus gets (or doesn't get) and the +2 usually gives you an idea of how active the cycle will be...if it is lower than the AMPS, you likely will be busy. If he's heading down on both +1 and +2, it gives you time to intervene before insulin onset takes him too low. That's a general overview....but you need data to see Gus' patterns.

Hi Bev and Gus,
I missed all the excitement yesterday...damn work! I just wanted to say how great it is to see Gus' numbers so low (with a slight twinge of jealousy in my typing :mrgreen: ). You did a great job yesterday handling his low numbers. Looks like you will be an expert at this in no time. It's amazing how something like a dental can have such a huge impact! Keep up the good work!

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105/+1=280/+2=247
I would see what happens. I would not assume he is bouncing yet. The higher +1 is most likely partly food spike, and partly insulin (last night's dose) wearing off. The lower +2 may be just the food spike wearing off, or it could be the start of onset too. He's heading in the right direction!

How funny that our boys are doing this at the same time. I just posted in Champ's condo "WHAT??" because his +1 is so much higher than his AMPS. I'm going to check his +2 to see how things are shaping up. I'm just as happy to see Gus having these great numbers as I am seeing them in Champ!!!
Keep up the good work and have a terrific day!

I think I would get +5, but +6 will work too. Looking good, Bev!

Bev, I have no R experience. I think it is an unknown if he will be more responsive to the R. I would test often if you do use the R. I see that you usually use 0.25u....I haven't been in the loop too much, what is your R scale?

Bev, could you update your SS if you have a minute? Thanks!
Hang on, I asked for some more eyes for the R question.

Just a quick pop in to say WHAT AN AWESOME SS Gus has!!! You're doing great with him, Bev!!!! I so admire how well you've done using the R. Good luck today with whatever you decide.

It's ok....just trying to make it easier if someone needs to get up to speed quickly, and doesn't have time to read through the thread.
I'm going to have to leave, unfortunately! I wish I could stay, but DD has a doctor's appointment.
If no one can give you guidance, I would suggest getting another test and see where he's at, then make a decision on the R. If he is zooming up, then I would say that shooting R would be a good idea. I wish I could help on dose....sorry!

0.1 seems reasonable to me. It's hard to say whether his response will be the same or not, but I know you can handle the numbers. It would be nice if he can hold his bounce to yellow/pink instead of black (please, Gus?).

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS 105/+1=280/+6=297/+7=386;R.1
I needed to know where Gus was going, so I tested and there you go! He was >600 when I gave him .25R yesterday and considering that he is at a lower # at the moment, I felt more comfortable giving .1R. I will definitely be getting a +1,+2, and +3 because he very well may have a new sliding scale for R. It would seem logical if he did. Thanks, Libby. And lots of thanks for the tutoring this AM, Laurie. Good data collected.

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS/+7=386/R.1/+1R=387
I'm able to get the R+1 but don't know about the +2. There are strong thunderstorms coming into the area and Gus is petrified of thunder! He tries to hide and is a wreck until the noise passes. I promise nothing but will do my very best. So, if there is no post, it's not because I forgot. My poor boy, he doesn't need to have another bought with unexplained fear. :cry:

Re: 5/20 Gus AMPS/+7=386/R.1/+1R=387/+2R=383
386, 387, 383. This shows me that Gus responds exactly the same to this dose of R as he did prior to his dental. .1R held him and possibly held down a food spike. .25R was good for approx. 100 pt. drop and was used when he was in the 300-450 range. .5R was used to yank him down from the stars and keep him on the meter. So, for now, .1R still holds him steady. I will make no assumptions concerning any other R dose. I am going to follow Laurie's reccommendation that I get an AM +10 and +11.

Bev --
That makes sense to me but let me see if I can find Libby. She's been following Gus more closely than I have.

it makes sense to me too. Maybe that will be a dose we can work up or down from. I would give some R too...

You're doing great, Bev. Good luck with the new dose! It may take a little adjusting to figure out what he needs, but you'll get there.
Sorry I had to leave suddenly today....I had forgotten about the doctor's appointment until my phone reminded me. I'm glad Libby was able to stop in and give you a hand with the R. :smile:
