6/10 - Olivia - (AMPS 135) (PMPS 107)

Well, that was fun while it lasted!

Looking at it, I think Olivia might just be particularly carb sensitive? For the breakfast yesterday she had had some 0% Tiki Cat, and gave us fantastic PM numbers, and for dinner some 8% Weruva, and now... this.

Dont want to give her purely Tikicat, because it's a touch higher in phosphorus than what I would like.

I mixed together some Tiki Cat and some Weruva to try and make something more middle of the road, at presumably 4% carbs.

We'll see what happens. Just solidifies my hope that once she goes raw, her numbers might drop more and the drop dose will be sufficient.

Good morning!

Don't worry too much about the preshot numbers. They will be higher and bluer than you'd like for a while. They are the last numbers to come down, especially AMPS. If you look at Ruby's SS from this year, you'll see loads of blue preshots and then after a time they started going away. Hopefully they will go away sooner with Olivia than it took Ruby. What we want to focus on is how low the insulin takes her, not how high. Given the fact that she hasn't seen a number in the 60s in 5 days, you might want to consider going to .1 units. You can adjust the dose down if you need to once the raw food is incorporated into her daily routine, but for now she might need a little nudge. What do you think?

Katherine is right. The AMPS is the last to fall in line. But 8% is on the higher side of LC. Try the mix and see. Is Weruva low phos?

I don't want to introduce too many variables at once. Best that I know what thing is effecting her, and how its effecting her without muddying the waters, considering what I've read about the depot and how it 'lasts' and can effect future cycles.

I'll lose more time bumping her insulin now, starting her on raw, seeing where those two variables take her, and making adjustments and seeing where the adjustments take her, than just... holding course for a while longer to see what happens.

The Tiki Cat is 0% carbs, and 1.07% phosphorus.

Weruva is 8% carbs and .70% phosphorus.

IN THEORY, averages out to about .88 phos, but I know that's not exactly exact, but we'll take it.
