@FrostD @Suzanne & Darcy I do not know if we are out of the woods yet, but his glucose came up from 49 to 74 so far, and got more 12% carb food. Will be testing again in about 10 minutes.

Okay. It looks like you have him in the blue again. Just keep testing periodically for two hours to make sure he doesn’t drop back down. I do not expect it to though
Suzanne & Darcy
Very Active Member
So question: did he eat any food at +1, +2 or +3?

He had a little during those times, but didn't really care for it and took a nap. Still had appetite for a couple of treats then though, I was trying to stimulate his hunger bc sometimes it works to give him a little snack.

You need to try some new foods for sure!

Is it the FF CHICKEN FEAST that has changed its recipe?
Suzanne & Darcy

Without the snacks he dived down to 49. He needs to eat more during those early portions of the cycle- he usually does - so I am just trying to understand why he dropped so much today.

Yeah, they changed the recipe to have no artificial flavorings or preservatives. My plan is to switch him to salmon paté, because that was one of my backup cans and he ate up that no problem.
I believe that was the case, yes. He dived down, then when he felt low ate way too fast, and threw it up again anyways.
I'm considering the possibility of after getting him salmon FF for his dinner tonight, his dose might need to be at 0.5u and see how he responds?

Also, with that low pf a preshot, I would have tried to grab a +2 test.

I am thinking the same thing for tonight!

Good to know, thanks!
And I was saying he did get snacks during that time, so very possibly could have dived even lower had I not given them. I'm glad I checked his glucose when I did regardless, because he was acting perfectly fine!!

Fancy Feast Savory Salmon Feast is a favorite of my cat Ginger. I don’t give it to her every day, but especially when she is either sick or has no appetite it usually gets her to eat.

You did great- as usual!

So yes, for tonight, we are in agreement. I would try a flat .5 units- even if he’s bouncing. Of course, I know you will consider his preshot number when you decide. His bounces do not last long at all.

Yeah, they really dont last long at all!! Makes me wonder what that little pancreas is up to!
His +6 is 225, do you think its safe for me to go run those errands now and get him some salmon? There was other things I was needing to get at Target, but shouldn't take more than two hours if I can help it!

Looks like he’s on his way up.

If you haven’t already gone, just test before go to give yourself peace of mind.

He's at 348, maybe I overdid it with the 12% carb food! Either that or his bounce is settling in with it.

It’s okay. You did nothing wrong. He has started his bounce.
