? 5/29 Snickers and I need shot/dosing advice

Snickers and Chrissy

Hi, it's been forever since I posted, not since January, I think. But Snickers has been getting some higher than usual PMPS numbers lately, and we don't understand why.

During the day she's fine, in fact she started dropping kinda low into the 40s sometimes. And then jumps to 140-ish at PMPS. It's not crazy high, but it's high for Snickers.

I'm not versed enough in bounces to know if this would qualify? If not a bounce, any other thoughts? We started going back and forth between a .5 and .75 because we just aren't sure which is better for her right now. But I know we need to pick one and stay with it.

She remains on wet only low carb food, and has had a checkup recently. She seems totally healthy and is acting like normal.

The only thing that I guess is different is that I bought her some Pure Bites freeze dried shrimp to try instead of salmon. She did have some this afternoon, but I don't see how that could possibly make her numbers jump since it's just freeze dried shrimp.

Snickers' chart should be up to date. I sometimes double check her numbers with an Alpha Trak 3 (AT3), which you'll see in the chart. I use the same drop I use for the Relion, so there are no extra pokes. :)

I welcome advice or input from members who know more than me :) Thanks!
 
I’m thinking it’s a bounce from the lime.
Thanks. I wondered if that could be it but wasn't really sure. It makes me wonder if she's dropping lower at night too, after we've gone to bed. I think I'm going to set my alarm for the next few days and check her during the night.

Do you know, if it's a bounce does that mean we should lower her dose or stay at the same dose? I know bounces can take a few days to clear but I'm a little fuzzy on all that.
 
It could also be a fast drop causing a bounce. Looks like a big drop from +1 to +2 tonight. Are you feeding her anything at +1? If not, might want to do that, especially with those blue preshots when she seems to dive after.

Sometimes we feed her something at +1 but not regularly. We didn't tonight. But I take your point and will do so from now on. Thanks!
