Good morning!

Mikan had a great run last night
Not surprisingly, she jumped back up high this morning. But the green run last night gave me some hope. Funny how different I feel this morning (AMPS 368) from yesterday (AMPS 360).

I look forward to her next green run!

Looks like you had one heck of a pj party last night.

Ya, we had a fun! And she got to eat some of her favorites!

Just as you predicted @Angela & Cleo !
How could you know!?

How could you know!?

I've read A LOT of threads where Mods and Experienced Members analyze SSs. There are years of wisdom and experience here and any "prediction" is because of them.

A couple of clues in your SS indicated that Mikan was going to show action last night.
The last couple of increases, Mikan showed more action/fluctuation of BGs in the first cycle of an increase. This time she didn't. She was relatively flat from am+4 through PMPS accounting for meter variance. Sometimes a Flat Cycle will show action in the next one.
She didn't dive at onset in the am cycle like she has in previous cycles. Since she didn't dive the BGs didn't trigger a bounce by PMPS. Now the PM cycle is starting from a lower BG than what you've seen recently. This is great to show what the dose can really do.
Also, you are trying new foods all around or under 6% carbs. I suspected that the change in food quality/carb might be a contributing factor to a little more action.

Great numbers last night Mikan!! You and Sly were clamming for sure. I myself got some sleep!

Work it Girl, you can do it!

Wow, Angela!
Experienced eyes see things I don't. This is just so amazing!
I hope I can learn to be able to do what you just described
Paying attention to detail! But this is just so fantastic! Thanks for sharing your insight

It was a fun night So nice to see a steady high green run. I loved it! Now only if she can do it again
I won't be greedy. Must be patient!

This morning she jumped back up high but looks like she's come down running. We'll see what she has in her paw sleeves

It's always nice to see green after yellow and pink- I feel the same way with Jack; it gives me hope too! Sending hugs and hoping Mikan shows you some more nice green numbers!

Thanks Christine! It really was a big relief to see that green streak!
Happy Friday to you, Jack, Pumpkin, and Abby!

Sliding down slower today! Let's see her +7, that's her action spot!!

She is 116 @+7. Not Bad!
I told her to stay on down there, but she completely ignored me and gave me a big yawn

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Whoo Boy. PMPS was great but unexpected.
To be honest, I was scared of shooting all 4U and a thought of BCS dose came to my mind.
Grinded teeth and shot 4U. Could be a long night, or she may be on her way up. We'll see.

 

[Angela & Cleo]

This is exciting! So proud that you shot the full dose and without stalling!!!!

 

[Deb and Sylvester]

Whoo!!!! Nice shooting Kit!! Yeah, if you're gonna shoot, just do it. I had my share of failed BCS doses!

@Angela & Cleo had to tell me what it was an acronym for!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

My goodness, Angela. I actually thought she might have been on her way up with +1 getting higher. Surprised to see 51. Well, 4U is doing something, for sure!

You know, when things are scary, BCS sounds like a good idea! Like you are not totally copping out but doing something.
We'll see how she does tonight! I'm ready ( I hope!)

Oohhh exciting. Did you feed a bit of MC and will test in an hour?

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

For sure! I actually gave her 15% hoping to steady her at a little higher ground. I am excited and cared at the same time

 

[Karen and Chispa (GA)]

Look at that -- action-packed adventures in Mikan-land!! I'm glad Angela is teaching you how to read tea leaves. Hope you are having a happy start to your weekend, Kit!

Hi Karen!!!!
A lot of excitement here tonight.
Angela has been so kind - I really feel lucky to have people like her to guide me through in this totally confusing maze!
Let's see where Mikan wants to lead me tonight. I'll do my best to keep her afloat in the good green zone!
