Oy - Jimmy's +11 drop kinda shocked me. I wasn't expecting such a large drop so I didn't test in between his +8 and +11. Nor did he get food. I should be strong and shoot 6.5 dose no matter what right?

Jimmy's preshot # was 85 (half hour ago). I'm holding off with insulin because he's clearing a bounce and not sure how much lower he'll go. Just fed him some raw with a tsp of LC mixed in...I know I should hold off entirely, but that just can't happen at feeding time. Testing in a few...

Hi it doesn't seem like he's clearing a bounce it looks more like he's still diving since you did gave him some food and he's still at 85.

 

[Susan G & Jimmy G]

Got same reading as pre shoot...holding off 1 full hr and then I'm inclined to shoot. I have supplies and can monitor.

Really? He started the day at 200+ and had no real nadir.

I don't have that much experience but with 85 after an hour and even though he did had a little food maybe I would skip it altogether or if it's OK and your schedule can be moved for more than one hour maybe wait to see if he starts going up

 

[Susan G & Jimmy G]

Still holding off shot...approaching one hour stall.

Exactly with the information you have it looks more like he's still going down, he will probably bounce eventually but he hasn't got there that's why I think you may wait a little longer to see how it goes

That's OK just remember that tomorrow's am shoot will have to be 12 hours from the time you actually shoot tonight

 

[Veronica & Babu-chiri]

How is he doing?

 

[Susan G & Jimmy G]

Just tested, fed and shot at 91. Will test at +1. Thanks!!

I think he'll be fine. Look how well he did when you shot that 76! Shoot low to stay low!

 

[Veronica & Babu-chiri]

Looks good. Glad you were able to wait

Agree - it's such a short window before they start to zoom up - I want to be able to keep him under 100 for longer periods. I know what to do - and I've read the protocol over and over - but when the time comes, I start second guessing myself. Could be another late night iced coffee night binge watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. lol

 

[Susan G & Jimmy G]

+2.5 100.

Nice blue night.I'm glad you shot full dose. Next time it happens, and you know Jimmy will do it, try your hardest to wait 15 minutes without feeding. Maybe just do with a freeze dried treat.

To show that you stalled on your spreadsheet, you can put 91 @12.75 in the PMPS cell. In the +11 cell, you can put 104; 85@+12, 85@+12.5.

I'm ok shooting the lower numbers except when he's still diving. That freaks me out - not knowing how much lower he will go. But I keep reminding myself I have the supplies to monitor and test to keep him safe. He's a tough kitty and tends to let me know when he does go "low"...ie asks for food. Good idea with the freeze dried treats...he loves the whole minnows.
