Since Tuesday and maxing out at a 2.6 skinny Fern has had 2 sub 300s at the preshot and I'm home from work today and just got a +5.5 at 98 from a 348 AMPS where I gave him between 2.4 and 2.6 (hence the 2.6 skinny).

I also stopped by a recommended to me vet this AM and he seems to be someone who will work with me and communicate. So we have an appointment when I get back from training conference on 5/14.

Now I have to figure out what doses I need to leave for my parents to give Fern for 2 weeks. I don't expect them to make decisions.

I'm thinking 230-275 1.4U. 275-325 2.1u and above 325 2.6 skinny.
 
Hmmmm. It looks to me like the variance between the levels could be too much. Like today, it is a pretty big drop at +6. Not unsafe numbers but probably likely to cause a bounce. I wonder if the 2.1 at night causes a big drop and is responsible for the pink amps or it is too little and is causing a duration problem...so many possibilities.

When do you leave? Could you get a daytime curve and a nighttime curve this weekend? Then we'd know more what is happening - bounce or too little/much insulin at different levels.
 
He has always dropped "well". Which I know when I first began treatment made me slower on rises.
 
How so. Food is available when he wants it during the drop. He is more of a grazer than a big meal guy. Oh +7 129 with the cleaning people coming through.
 
Sometimes if you purposely feed half at shot time and the second half 2-3 hours later, it softens the drop and he surfs along a little flatter. Hard to do with a grazing cat. Yes, if he drops too low, he'd probably eat on his own, but you would be trying to manipulate the drop with food.

129 is nice. Can you find the rise - does he jump at +8/9 or does he wait till 10/11 and jump? Or is it a slow rise and then a bounce at the end?
 
I guess I do kind of soften with food. They (sugar boy a civve bros) get 1 can of food at shot time and 1 can of food at 2-3 hours later (2 in the am before I go to work and more often 3 in the PM before bed). I leave the first can out if there is still some wet left. Often he (they) do take the appearance of fresh wet as a signal to come eat more. As far as when he climbs it seems to very a bit I think most of the time he begins to come up at 10/11 with the option of bouncing. Every once in a while he will climb earlier and it's hard to tell if it was because there wasn't enough insulin or what.
