Hi Clara,
I hope you have a good day!
Just looking at the SS for last night. When you get a number like 401 for the preshot and then 185 for the +2….that is a big drop… that is telling you that the BG is probably going to keep dropping and you will need to test again probably at +4 to see how low the BG has gone. And you may have to keep testing, depending on how low it is dropping.
So when you get a +2 in any cycle that is lower than the preshot BG that is a red flag for you to test again. Does that make sense?

Another test in the second half of the day would be nice. Would that be possible? Between 1pm and 7pm?

Yes, if you see his spreadsheet, he tends to go low at the end of the cycle. By testing around +8/+9, you can feed him a little and prevent a dive at the end of the cycle.

very true, i was wondering why he goes so low at night.

A lof of cats go low as night - maybe because they are nocturnal creatures.

But if you see, Macho also tends to go low at the end of the AM cycle - for e.g. 6/19, 6/23, 7/9, 7/13. So in cycles where is lower at +4/+5, it may make sense to get a test at +9 and if he is even lower, feed him a little so that he doesn't dip too low by the end.

Hopefully on the reduced dose he won't dip below 50 so much!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Since Macho is higher at +6, you can stop testing till PMPS.

Hi Clara, May I ask how old you are? You might be the youngest member of the FDMB!

He looks pretty flat so I think he will be fine tonight.
