Could you update your subject line to remove the AM numbers and just put the PM ones on? I'm not sure where you are in the cycle.

Oh, and since he just earned a reduction and it's night time, feel free to break out the karo, or whatever it takes to get him up.

Feeding another tsp HC gravy and 1 tsp LC. Should I switch to MC food after this?
Depends on his next numbers. This is awfully early to be dropping low.

Tomorrow a.m., if we shoot it's back to what we described as needle juice. But that 's a long way off. Testing again in 20 min.
Tonight's drop is from the depot, not tonight's dose.

I still don't 100% understand the depot. Why would it dump? BTW thanks for coming along side me to help @Wendy&Neko .
The depot takes a while to build, and subsequently a while to deplete. It can influence 4-6 cycles after a reduction. Especially the first cycle or two after a reduction, the depot can be the one running the show. Basically, what you shot this morning and the previous couple cycles is influencing tonight.

Does that mean I shouldn't necessarily reduce the dose on the next cycle?

77@ +3. Should I feed a tsp of just LC to maintain? Testing again @ +3.5.

Sorry, dinner interuptus. You could do a small amount of LC if you haven't already.
Reducing again tomorrow would be back to back reductions, which seldom hold.

I didn't feed anymore. The HC kicked in and at +3.5 he was 100. I'm glad he's safe, but knowing LT, I probably should have just mixed some LC with MC last time I fed. I really need to go back an read my notes from the past and type up something to refer to next time this happens. I'm going to check again at +4.5. His nadir is usually around +6.
Notes are good. Also record when you gave the HC. You'll usually need higher carbs earlier in the cycle, and lower later, when the insulin is starting to fade.

That's good information to have regarding when to give different carb levels. I try to record any intervention food under comments on the SS. I'll post the next BG in about 40 minutes.
Looks like you are good for the night. My alarm goes off far too soon. Nighty night.

I set my phone alarm wrong and then fell asleep so just now getting another BG which is a hefty 147 at +5. I'll never understand how the same food "treatment" during the a.m. cycle kept in the low 100's and the same treatment in the p.m. cycle sends him to almost 150. I suppose we'll stay with this new dose? @Bron and Sheba (GA)

Every cycle is a bit different and cats like to keep you guessing.
I’d stick with the new dose and see how it goes.
LT is looking amazing. You are doing a fantastic job with him.
