Oof, that's a big ol' drop. I gave her MC a bit earlier today, and it didn't do much to stop the drop. I'm wondering if giving her MC or HC (a tablespoon or two) at shot time and then giving her LC at +1.5 might be something to try? The high AMPS number is possibly because of her dropping low last night, but the big drop isn't gonna help not have bounces today. Stupid bounce.

Hi Alicia,
That's a tough call. I am finding out that when Mikan wants to drop, she WILL drop regardless of what she eats. I'm sure HC feed helps to tame it down a notch, but nonetheless, she will drop. Often, earlier in the cycle, I just don't know if she will further drop or bounce back up. I ended up chasing her numbers with HC. So I am trying to give her a bit of MC 13% if I suspect a drop trend (1/2 or 1 tsp) early in the cycle, hoping that it may slow things down even if I have to use HC later. It's just experimental and of course ECID.

Hope Kit surfs safely today!

Yeah, it's hard to tell what will work. I thought maybe she was coming out of the bounce, but then she dropped this morning. Last time she was on her current dosage she dropped to the 30s, so I'm just trying to keep her from doing that so she can get some good healing from this dose.

I hope Mikan gives you a break today and stays away from the limes!

I agree and think you're going to have to experiment with % and timing.
I know it's very difficult but do you think you can set an alarm and get a test at +9-+11 in the PM cycle. It would be interesting to see if the AMPS is a rising number or a falling one. Might help determine the carb % to feed at shot time. Just spit balling ideas here.

Fun story, I have an alarm set for +9, it's just a question of whether it successfully gets me up or not.

I can definitely try to get some tests in that time frame, though. It would be nice to see what her numbers are up to. And I don't go back to work until August 15th, so now's the time to do those things.

That's what I started doing with Sly to prevent a dive. I fed MC with his morning shot bc he doesn't eat for about 6 hours overnight, but that was after I figured out that was likely why he would dive in his morning cycle!

Excellent! I did a mix of high carb and low carb with her shot tonight and I'm gonna test her in 15 to see where she's headed so far. I might just do straight MC in the morning though so I'm not adding trying to get a mix right on top of all the other stuff.

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

So, I definitely think I need to switch to at least MC at her shot time, at least for now? She's already dropped to 84 at +1.

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

She was at 57 @+2, so I fed her some 15%. She was still 57 at +3, and it's still early in the cycle, so I went ahead and gave her a tablespoon of 15% again. She is being a bit spicy this evening, so that's fun.
