9/18 Biggie AMPS 340 +3.15 236 +4.25 162 +5 121 +6 102 +7 107 +8 119 +9 125 PMPS 196 +3 315

I don’t have to go out- it would be for 2 hours..but I don’t think I will…he tends to go low between +7 and +9 but with it being a higher dose I think I should be around.
 
Are you feeding a little after every test? If he flattens out/starts heading up, you can easily step out for a couple of hours. You might just get a cycle like the AM of 9/12.
 
I haven’t been - he doesn’t normally eat on demand unless it’s been a few hours but I can try. Is that something I should be doing just when I test on an active cycle?

ETA he might eat if I sprinkle some Fortiflora on it.
 
Yes, up until recently his appetite wasn’t so great but he’s been eating a lot better so I think I could do that. Thank you for the link- I’ve heard “feed the curve” alluded to and the methodology makes sense.
 
+8 119

@Bandit's Mom if I had started feeding at +3 when I saw he was going down a lot, do you think I could have flattened things out more quickly? He ate around +4 anyway, but then I started feeding every hour after that. Now that he’s had a few flat readings do you think it’s safe to go out until his PM shot?

ETA I know your time zone is far ahead of mine so I’ll hang out and take one more reading and await your reply when you are available. Thank you!

Sorry, yes, this message came around 3am, my time. Looks like he put paid to any plans to go out! LOL :rolleyes:

To answer your question about food, yes, if you had started feeding at +3, he might have dropped less at 4 and subsequently. In fact, if you aren't doing this already, you want to feed a part of the PS meal at +1 and +2. That reduces the diving at onset. In active cycles, you want to feed a tsp of food after every test.

Thank you, sounds good! I just got a chance to read the post you linked about feeding the curve in its entirety, and will plan on doing this going forward. He did well with my extra feeding times so hopefully that will continue and we can make it a habit.
