Woke up a bit ago to a 106 amps number. Waited 15 minutes (no food, he's suuuuper mad right now) and now it's 91. I'm waiting another 15 to see if it goes up.
I've shot as low as 117 and he was just fine. But what's too low??

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Just tested @.50 and he only went up to 93.
How long should I stall?? I'd feel better if he was at least over 100 but I will shoot if I have to. I will be home all day, able to test a lot.
At this point I'm going to wait another 15 minutes.......

I would shoot provided you can monitor closely and guide with food. If you stall much longer without food Taco may drop more.

You can safely shoot a number in the 90s. Since you are home all day to monitor, I'd shoot the full dose and test at +1 and +2. He's staying flat right now.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Ok, I am feeding him now. @tiffmaxee , you were right - he did drop a little more.
I'm gonna shoot after he eats a few bites.
Thank you both!! The greens are SUPER new to us. I'll keep this updated.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Greens become contagious I promise. Once there’s enough data most will shoot anything over 50 when following TR. Shooting low leads to either a flat cycle or a bounce or a reduction. I’ll check back in an hour.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Just tested +1 and he's doing good (89). I'll get a +2 and update.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Sounds good.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

He's 79 at +2.
I have to admit, I'm feeling kinda nervous today. He's never been this low at this time and nadir is still so far away. But looking back a few days to our first 'green day' he did a good job of staying pretty flat. I hope he does the same today.
At what point should I give him higher carb food though? I have Friskies Shreds for emergencies.

ETA: He only dropped 10 points between +1 and +2 so that seems promising, right?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Feed a little lc if you haven’t already. Test again in an hour.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Only dropped 3 points at his +3 test. So far, so good.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes. Nice surfing.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Shoot low to stay low often works.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Still doing great at +6! Impressed with my boy today.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I take a pokey break.

 

[Brandi & Taco]

I take a pokey break.

Yep!! Lol! I'm soooo thankful that he doesn't mind though. I'm sure the more green days we have, the less I will feel the need to test so stupid much. Lol.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Nice surfing today.

 

[Sue and Luci]

Beautiful green surfing today!!! Yeah!!!

 

[Si am cat mom]

Shoot low; stay low

 

[Brandi & Taco]

Thank you everyone! I am definitely feeling a lot more confident when it comes to green numbers and shooting low. Taco did so great today and continues to do good tonight. He had one of his lowest PMPS so I'll be testing a few times tonight. I also think I'm going to set my alarm and get a +6 test tonight since he was soooo low this morning. I've never done that but really think I should start since he's getting so low.
Anyway, I'm truly thankful for all of you.
