Yesterday's BGs: AMPS 236 | +2 119 | +3 103 | +4.5 109 | +6.25 152 | PMPS 203 | +2 149 | +3 118 | +4 110

Starting off high today and dropping fast! We did an increase yesterday, currently at 1.25 units. She likes increases because she gets extra snacks!
 
Maybe some food at +1 and +2 will help with the diving? If she already gets food then, maybe try feeding a little higher carbs 8-9% at +1?
 
She eats at +1.5 and then again at +2 or +2.5. Sometimes at +3 if she's still dropping. But yes - I can try a higher carb with her at those times, that would help her stay a bit more level right? Should I consider a little higher carb all the time? Right now she's eating Merrick salmon pate which is 2%. Maybe I should switch to something more like 4-5%?
 
4-5% might have been enough. Her nadir seems to be at +4. But in bounce breaking cycles, it can be later than usual.
Will you be able to get another test at +5?

I'm still not sure when to choose which foods/carbs for her

Typically you feed higher carbs earlier in the cycle to prevent steep drops and then lower carbs later. After the nadir, you want to feed the lowest carbs.

Do you think she bounced from last night?

I doubt she went much lower than 110 last night. Bounces are sometimes delayed. They bounce 2-3 cycles after the lows.
