Dylan's numbers are dropping really fast for the first time post shot. Should I give her honey? I'm a bit worried, she's never gone down this quickly before.

No, she's doing fine. What has she eaten, what percent carbs and how much? Maybe give her a little low carb food to get her to flatten out.

Looks like she's falling off that bounce from the 81...no syrup or honey, got some lc food she'll eat?

HUGS! DON"T PANIC!
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

Phew sorry I panicked! I've never seen her go down so rapidly. I've given her some extra food (FF chicken pâté) so hopefully she levels off a bit. She's been so high that these numbers freaked me right out!
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

Don't panic, the guys here will help you. I have a question though, how come you gave 1 unit last night instead of 1.25?
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

Ah I gave 1.25 yesterday! My iPhone update/forgot to check it was correct.
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

Thanks everyone! I feel much better. I have a fear of waking to a hypo-ing kitty!
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

I will see what the others say but you might want to set your alarm for the +6 or +7 to see how low he goes.
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

I'll do that. I'm curious to get the number in any case.
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

I'd actually like you to get a test before then, please. Dylan is coming down pretty quickly which is not unusual for a bounce breaking cycle. I think you need to get a test no later than an hour from your last one...just to see if the food you gave her is slowing her down.

I also want to encourage you to always get a preshot number. We've had members not get one, only to find their cat at 33 at +1. We don't shoot blind...it's potentially too dangerous.

When you get a chance, could you please do a Profile for your kitties for us please? It gives us easily and quickly accessible info about them when you have it linked in your signature block. If you have any questions, please PM me.

You are doing great...you will learn what foods to feed to slow down a drop. Don't be surprised if she bounces back up quickly. Fast drops and numbers lower than the liver is used to often trigger a bounce...which is the release of counterregulatory hormones and glucagon by the liver driving the BG up.

I will be around and will also check back in on you all in an hour. If you need help before then, just put the "?" on this condo and one of us will see it. :-D

Edited to add: on her SS, if you did get the 162 @ +2.5, then you would put it in the +2 column. You can make the font for that block a little smaller. Then type in that block "196; 162 @ 2.5". Thanks!
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162

Will do! Added their profile as well.

I don't think I've missed a pre-shot test although noticed my US chart didn't populate this AMPS: 419.

PM cycle 1/26 has no PS.

You need to click on the link for Profile in my original post. It takes you to specific instructions. Thank you.
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162 +4 112

Oh sorry, thanks for your help! I'm currently a bit groggy myself on cold mods is evening :)
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162 +4 112 +5 119

Looks like the snack kicked in.

+5 119
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162 +4 112 +5 119

Perfect. I'd just get a test before you head to bed to make sure she is still coming up. You want a couple rising numbers.
 
Re: Dylan PMPS 320 +1 261 +2 196 +2.5 162 +4 112 +5 119 +6 1

I did one at +5.5 and it was 113 so then waited for +6 and she's at 121. Hopefully sleep now!
