In your opinion is Karamelles SS normal? Or does it look like somethings off. I think she goes over 300 too much, but if I raise the dose she drops into lime. Should I just be ignorning the drops. I know I did that last time for one or two of them but then had to end up lowering the dose again. I guess Im just not sure how serious dropping down into hypo for one reading or two, with no apparent symptoms, is. I can keep on the way weve been going, but I hate seeing her bounce so much and go up into the 300's which does clearly make her feel lousy.

It's hard to say what "normal" is in cat spreadsheets as there is so much variety - ECID, but it doesn't look unusual. Neko bounced to reds for the first year, I was so happy when she started changing her bounces to pink.

You don't want ignore low numbers if a dose is taking her low. You don't want her spending time at a dose that is taking her below 40. For cats that don't handle reductions well, which I think includes Karamelle, you can consider moving to a reduction criteria 3 drops on different days between 40 and 49, or once below 40.

I'd also try to figure out, if possible, when a cycle looks like an action cycle and then intervene with a bit higher carbs. I don't mean HC, but higher LC and possibly MC. Depending how carb sensitive she is. Have you read this post: Using Food to Manipulate the Curve

As far as figuring out what an active cycle, it can help to get some tests around onset and compare that to preshot. For many cats that's a +2, but ECID, Neko it was later. If that number is quite a bit lower than preshot, you are likely going to have an active cycle that may need more intervention. The June 26 AM cycle is an example.

Well this gives me hope.

I dont quite understand this. So only reduce a small amount when its below 50? Instead of increasing the small amount if the full reduction doesnt work out?

I see the active cycle on June 26. But Im having trouble seeing it with mostly all the rest of the days. Sometimes she looks like shes going down, only to come up, then go down too far. I dont know how I would anticipate that. Maybe I just need to feed a higher LC if she falls below a certain point, even if it isnt in the limes. She does seem to raise up with just a regular LC feeding most the time.
