So yesterdays PMPS number was 341 on from the .2u I gave him yesterday morning so I gave him .5 yesterday evening, at 11:00 his BG was 196, this morning back to 331. So I gave him .5u, at +3 he is 312. If he is around the same number this evening as he was yesterday should I stay at the .5 to see what happens or bump it just a smidge or leave it at .5 for another day?
 
Hmmmmm. Can you get some midcycle numbers today? That will help you decide about tonight. It could be you need a dose between .2 and .5.
 
It's too soon to tell for sure what this dose is doing. I think stick with it.

okay... 5:30 PMPS 233, I gave him .4u at +3 he is 222. I will be testing again at +6 to see where he is at. I think staying at or below that .5 is a good place for a couple of days to see if I can get his numbers to level out, and if they do maybe I can drop a tiny bit more.

Carl & Sue, thanks so much for your all your help, its nice know there are others out here willing to help. You really are awesome and so is this board, I am so glad I found it. This is the first forum I have ever signed up for, I mean I don't even do facebook, started an account and just didn't get it so cancel my account. This account I will keep forever.

I will post his +6 when I get it, Frodo's SS is up to date.

I am really a little nervous, Frodo's +6 is 97, that is a big drop from the 222 at +3. I am hoping some of it is because he really did not eat much this evening. He ate maybe 1/8 of a can, and that was it. I have opened up a different flavor and he is eating it better. I am trying to get as much down him as I can. Could he possibly drop much more since we are sitting at +6? If I get him to eat more will that help??
 
97 is not too low. And it isn't likely that he will continue to drop. You don't want to react too soon even though the number might feel uncomfortable. Best thing to do is test him at +7 as see which direction he's going. I'll be on at least until then if you post his number(s). It's okay that you fed him, and that food will also help him not to go lower in case for some reason his nadir is past +6 this cycle.

Green is good!

Thanks Carl, your words really do help my concerns. I am trying to hold on to get his +7, I started a 2nd job this week and have had some early mornings and late nights. It may be a little short of +7 but should at least give me a good idea.

Thanks again, I will post a new number within the the next 15 minutes or so.
 
Carl, its been about 45 minutes since the last test, so I decided to try again, it has gone up to 106. I guess I just freaked a bit since I have never seen him below 100. But looks like he is good. I will see what he is like in the morning and post.

Thanks so much for your input, means a lot. Have a good night...
 
You have a good night too, Nancey!
Don't worry about freaking, the first green is nerve-wracking for everyone. We all hope for it to happen, then when it does, it's like

Your post reminds me so much of me in my early days with Josie! I was always so afraid when I would get a number below 100. One time, she was at 90 at +5 and I actually gave her Karo. lol. Glad you didn't do anything like that! But I will tell you that dropping from 222 at +3 to 97 at +6 isn't normally a scary drop. At least with Josie, that's when she usually saw her biggest drops. She would rise pretty soon after that. But you did the right thing by running another test. Always better safe than sorry!
