6/14 Boris AMPS 103. +1 75, +1.5 51, +20min 44, +20min 39, +2.5 53, +3 46, +4 64, +4.5 86, +5 80,

sorry nobody from the Guru team has jumped in here but you're doing great and yes I would continue with HC/Karo/Honey

also, congrats on the reduction! Yes this counts. Down to 2.5 he goes!

Thanks! I did give a little more Caro and am going to test again in 10-15 min.
This really is making me wary of low preshot numbers because of the pattern he keeps following
 
Will he eat food with some Karo mixed in. Some high carb food. Or follow up the karo with food. What percent carbs do you have. I'm trying to get caught up with what's happened. Food will last him longer. It looks like he keeps trying to drop back down. Keep testing every 20 minutes for now
 
Sorry! I was in a class for the last hour. I see he is really making you slog! This is the 9th cycle on this dose so you need not worry about a back-to-back reduction. Please take him down to 2.5U tonight. Congrats!
 
Nathalie, I see you fed him some 5% -- he needs something much higher than that. What do you have and will he eat it? I'd just like to see him get some food into him in addition to the Karo you've been giving. You're doing a great job!

I gave him 17% food earlier. I will give him a little more. Just gave him another rub of Karo.

Good. I wish there was something in the 20s for carb percentages. It looks like he's holding pretty steady from the last test. I know you will keep up with the testing every 20 minutes until he's in the clear. You will have to test him until it's been two hours after any karo or high carb food and make sure that he is rising. As his numbers come up, you will be able to stretch out the time between tests from 20 to 30, etc.

Yes, will keep up the testing for sure. So far he had his regular meal of 2% at breakfast, snack of 5%, and a full can of 17% spread out between tests. As well as 3 Karo syrup gum rubs. Fingers crossed we come up the next test.

He’s certainly determined to stay low today. You’re doing well.
 
Teaspoons of that high carb food should also eventually help - if he’s not too full. What’s the carb percentage on that kibble? I’m glad he’s eating it. Kibble takes longer to kick in and raise BG but it can last longer as well.

The kibble is only 5% and I usually give that as little snacks through the day. I figured that was the easiest way to mix with the Karo to see if he would eat it. And of course he gobbled it down. will respond with new numbers soon.
 
That's good. Do you want to wait and not feed him any more food right now and test again in 20-30 minutes to see if he will start staying up on his own now... as the food wears off?
 
Phew. Hopefully he will stay up once the carbs wear off!
I hope so. We'll see what happens getting close to PMPS as well. He has been taking his dives starting at PS which makes me a little scared to shoot when he is below 150 and I can see he has started to drop before the next dose. Hanging with it though. Maybe one day we will get steady greens to earn reductions, instead of craziness.

Yeah, I believe he has had enough food. If it's like the other night when this happened, all those carbs are going to rule the rest of this cycle and possibly the next. Hope he doesn't get back up to the high 300's again. Can't imagine those big swings are good for him.
 
I'm off to an appointment. But I can see you know what to do. @Bandit's Mom is around for moral support. I'll check in later because now I really want to see what happens with Boris.

I guess you didn't take a reduction the other night when he was lime since you had already so recently reduced (to avoid a back to back reduction) right?

Correct. I was advised not to do a back to back reduction at the time to let the depot drain.
 
great work Nathalie you handled it like a champ. I never had to deal with this with my boy, you have my sympathies it must be stressful! Hendrick took the gentle path, lowest I ever got was a 45.

also great work by the LLB team of course :)
Yes very stressful and I’m glad The support is here to help get through it!

I’m learning more, and think in the future when I either have the feeling, or see he’s dropping at PS I’m just going to start with HC and see how that pans out.

thanks for helping get attention of ones who were on to help me through it today!
So happy for Hendrick! Told you Boris is trying to catch up, just in warp speed. Lol
