The blues are pretty but we would like to see some greens Korbel!! :mrgreen:
Maybe post a +11 if you can get that tonight and/or put "DOSE??" in your header and I am sure one of the others will be along to check it out for you... Pretty SS Korbel!

if you increase, do you promise to start getting before bed tests every night? ;-)

I can do that. FYI, those pm +3 are right before bed

Korbel is getting close to green, and a lot of cats drop lower at night than during the day, so it's going to be important to test at bedtime so you can ward off any scary surprises. But yes, I would increase to 1.25 if you can do at least one PM test each night.

Anyone know why they tend to drop lower at night, that's interesting.
I can easily do a +3 each night.
I'll start her tonight at a new dose. That way I'll be around during the weekend and should catch anything that goes too low. Hopefully she'll settle before monday!

 

[jennifer & korbel (GA)]

Okay, I gave her 1.25
We'll see how she does!

There is probably more cortisol secretion during the day. In the morning, the AMPS can be influenced by "dawn phenomenon" -- the body ramps up to prepare for the stress of the day by producing cortisol. Hormone production works in a cycle and it would drop at night during sleep and BG would be lower, as a result.

 

[jennifer & korbel (GA)]

Ah, yes the stressfull day in the life of Korbel. Sleep, eat, sleep, sleep, sleep, eat :lol:
That actually does make sense, I just had to laugh at first!

+4 128
I think that's it for me tonight if I'm going to get up for the am shot!

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

Oh, now come on!! You left out play, preen, bathe, and get tested and shot. A cat's life is very challenging!!
