Phoenix’s BG was 70 at +9. I fed him some fancy feast pate LC. He went up to 87 by +10. Now it is +11 and he has dropped back down to 70. Should I feed or hold to see what he does? I did reduce his insulin dose by .25 units when he dropped to 39 BG on Saturday.

Hi Susan,

If you feed at +11, you would have to wait for 2 hours to shoot. We had the same issue on 8/16 and fortunately he stayed flat between +11 and AMPS.
Maybe it makes sense to feed him at +9.75 (in addition to +9)? That could prevent him dropping too low to shoot at PS?

Hi Bhooma,
You are right, I keep getting in this predicament. I will take your advice and feed again the next time Phoenix does this. I will keep monitoring him and if he drops down to 60, I will go ahead and feed again. I can delay his insulin if I have to. Thank you for your response.

Hi Susan, with TR you can shoot any number over 50 if you can monitor - I presume you can?
Do not feed between now and AMPS. Let us wait to see what the AMPS is.

Yes, I can monitor every day. I knew you could shoot in the 60's but didn't realize you could shoot as long as his BG is above 50. Thank you for the information. I just gave Phoenix his AMPS and his BG was 81.

It's good he stayed higher. Maybe a test and feed at +9.5 may be the thing to do going forward :-)
