Jill, I see you shot a blue pre shot last night….well done! And you have a yellow pre shot this morning…..progress!

Moving slow so far. I expect him to speed up soon, as there is no reason for a bounce…

Id like to stop testing every half an hour, but I dont trust that there wont be a sudden drop, especially today. So we continue to perforate the pussycat.

I think you can wait until +3 to test. Moving slowly so far.

Yes!! Thank you for your boost of confidence! We fed only 4 at 1.5, so this should be a big dropping hour…

I don’t see anything in his numbers so far to indicate a big drop. I do hope he will start to drop some soon though - to get out of yellow.

You did really well this morning because you saw he had a significant food bump and so you only gave a little 4 percent carb food.

Strangely, the food bump carried on into 1.5! I figured we should feed him something…You did really well this morning because you saw he had a significant food bump and so you only gave a little 4 percent carb food.

I've been reading all your posts Jill and i know you get really frustrated at times but yourself @Bron and Sheba (GA) @Suzanne & Darcy are doing a brilliant job with Merlin, just by looking at the all the greens on his spreadsheet shows how far you have come with him.
How's his weight, is he putting weight on yet?

Close to blue! I’d still stick with the 4

Thanks, Tee. Not really gaining weight… but we are stuffing in the high calorie food as often as we can. Bring on the (safe and steady) greens!

So nadir so far has stretched out to +6… unless he goes even lower. Dont know if I should keep feeding lc or not at all. Id love to stop testing now….

I would not give any food right now. Would you?

No. I think just leave him now and test in an hour… If he is green, I have to just let him be there, feed him lc, and let him surf.

Will you be around this afternoon at all? If you wanted to go to the beach, for example 
I think you can safely do so. Try to test him at some point this afternoon. If you are at home and can check in a couple hours, then good. You will get a better idea of what has happened in the latter part of the cycle. Also, you may not be as surprised as you were yesterday evening by the blue preshot.

He made it to green. I dont think I will feed though. He needs to get hungry for the evening!
