I assume you can monitor? As you know, the trickiest part is reduction. You want to keep the dose high enough to not lose momentum but not cause yourself the stress of hypo numbers. It seems like 5'units would be okay, and you know how to bring him up.....what does your gut say?
 
I'm starting to wonder if Mr. P is trying to help... *(anti-jinx)*
12/20 5.8u on a 349 didn't drop him too fast but got him a blue at +5
Last night a skinny 5.8 on 322 and he started to go deep sea diving... looking for bigger fish in the sea haha.
I think that's why I chickened out on the 5 units tonight. Something is nagging my brain about the quick fall last night and then this mornings cycle I have no idea how low he went but that 5.8 lasted long enough to give him a yellow PMPS. 5.8 didn't use to last that long and he was rising quick after it wore off...

Could well be signs of Mr. P. lurking ....
 
Trying not to go overboard. I'm having a steroid (Prednisone) induced anxiety attack. Took some medicine to calm down. What a mess.
 
I think the medicine is starting to work on me.
I have friskies poultry & sea food variety.
I also have FF kitten.
9lives gravy type.
He looks like he's starting a surf but I'll keep checking every 30. I don't know how long 4.8 lasts on him. But I'm assuming the +6 normal nadir...

Hard to know. Sometimes you don't see a proper nadir when they surf because they can stay flattish.

Looking good
 
+6 179 Hopefully he will surf a little longer... afraid this is a bit more than 20% and he's on his way back up already. If he is let it be slow!!! Paws crossed!
 
AMPS 386 (+11)
Fed 4.5 oz plus .16 oz pumpkin
Due to his recent lower numbers I'm going to try a fat 5.6u.
 
+4 208
Dh was told he needed to wake me if he was near 200 and he didn't! :mad::banghead:
+6.5 284/274 (tested twice)

So he either got into something that my DH left in his trail (seriously I swear he's a mouse... Eats a little of everything at night and leaves a trail of crumbs) or he went too low in the last 2.5 hours and is starting a bounce)
It's also a bit possible that the fat 5.6 just wasn't enough but recent cycles make me think otherwise.
Quite angry about it this morning. :mad: Unusually high anger levels for me so I'm going to try to take a nap and "wake up on the right side of the bed". Start over!

Thanks for all the encouragement! :bighug:
 
I would guess a bounce, but don't lost sight of the lovely numbers he has had lately. My guess is that he is in a good dose range and it is having a nice impact on his levels, continue to look back at the nice cycles and try to reproduce them going forward.

It seems like you get nervous in the 100s. Would it help to stop and think that he still have 50 points before you even need to worry AND you know how to bring him up. Also, remember that breathing thing, Steph. Yes, this roller coaster is nerve wracking and often scary, but sitting still and breathing deeply and centering really does help.
 
+4 330
+6 295
I gave him a snack of 0.15 baby food with .75 oz water since he was "starving"... Then he decided to help himself to Kitty's dinner. :banghead::arghh::mad: So he got a little less than 1/3 can friskies Mariner's catch pate.
I can't wait for bed time!
 
Busy day. Looking like maybe a yellow AMPS! +10 was 224. So definitely a pink of not yellow. Will update SS after amps.

Nice to see those blues!

Looks like a yellow for AMPS. Any suggestions on dose in 5 minutes? I'm so nervous shooting low 300s and yellows now. 4.8 was too much on 205. But skinny 5.8 was borderline on a 322.
I think we are over the bounce.
 
I just tested him and he went from 247 @ +11.75 to 201 and then retest was 221...

Dose suggestions? ANYONE? *sigh*
 
I think I'm going to go ultra conservative and give him 3.8. I'm going to test again and see where he's at now. I'll update on how much he gets and we can fix it at +2 if it's necessary.
 
AMPS (+12.25) 259
Fed whole can 9 lives super-supper.
Giving 4 units.
