hello! :)

well, i got comfortable with the stated idea here/observation that if +2 is higher than PS then the cycle will be sorta quiet/not as active.. but have had a few instances where that didn’t happen. Went to decent greens when didnt expect it.. Have determined the +3, then, is important to get, too, to check the +2 reading..

This happens?…
(Now I kind of dont trust just +2s to foresee how cycle might be haha..) Kind of a shame, cuz it does help w planning things etc.. but what can do. Or maybe can lend some ideas. Any appreciated. :cat:
 
I've always been a big watcher on +2. It sounds logical that it could change though since it's early on in the cycle still. I have not seen it yet, but I will keep my eye on it since things can become so unpredictable with Pumpkin. :cat:
 
The +2 can be helpful but it's not definitive of whether it will be an active cycle. Remember, it can be a red flag but the nadir is likely later than +2 in the majority of cats. In addition, Pudge's numbers are looking good.

Your SS is looking great.
The thing to remember is ‘every cat is different’ (ECID)
AND ‘know thy cat’.
It sound as if you know your kitty so keep doing what ever works for you.

ty!!!.. :bighug:
and tysm.. ok. yeah was just trying to see if that was kind of a solid rule but its not.. generally tho its shown true, but finding at these lower numbers.. nope for us once or twice. :rolleyes::bookworm::coffee:

tysm :bighug:
and i see.. well for a long time it was showing true, but at these lower numbers, its been active once or twice i didnt expect. so i just gauge it off +3-4 also i guess haha..

Pudge is getting fabulous numbers. I do have a question. Since your signature and spreadsheet say you are following TR and the reduction point for TR is when they drop below 50, why did you reduce to 2.5?

tysm!!.. :bighug: well the last time there were 50s it was late at night and it was very hard.. im having difficulties monitoring at night rn; theres a lot going on and we have been doing things for months now.. things have caught up a little. :blackeye: so for safety reasons i wanted to try to see if we could get away w bypassing them; the last thing wanted is to not be able to be up to manage them.. couldn't hurt to see. if anything would just go back. there was a low 60 and so thats what we did haha. :coffee: it was kind of a good thing tho for the time being cuz i later got wrapped up w some things unable to monitor close.. lots still going on. but! i was just thinking over that we needed to go back up too! greening at night has been a little less etc. (tho been taking advantage rn of more rest with these cycle types.. a break) and so had delayed just a bit more cuz of being preoccupied w the things atm right, but its now looking like maybe not going back up cuz got some nice numbers yesterday for a number of hours AM again and just now, 80s.. 70s.. then 60s… o_O:woot: guess holding. :bookworm::coffee:

(appears like reducing prior to 50s can be done; just takes more time to settle (?) but not sure if will do frm here (want ideally healing strong right.. and greening went down a little..) but glad i know. observing. but perhaps. :coffee:)

Yes. He’s doing okay on this 2.5 dose - especially today. Some cats do take longer than others to settle into a dose. Today was too sharp of a drop at+2.5. Did he have a snack at +2 (that’s a very good snack to give— a teaspoon or two of LC usually). Was there anything else different about today? Breakfast? Same food? Same amount?

yay ‘kay. we holding yup. :cat::bookworm::coffee: and i noticed that too! :stop: it sure was a bit.. he dropped some right?... though from 88 to 77, or you mean PS to 88?.. but nope, nothing different at all far as i can tell.. and we been here before. :cat: 25th similar. and he ate very well for breakfast, we been frontloading +1-2 some time now, +3 if needed, and greens get snacks too. matter of fact he might've gotten a teensy bit less dose but not much.. (sometimes light gives me a hard time.. just going to dose w one of my lamps that gives me good light always.. and i always prepare syringe beforehand.. it was close enough so he got it.. but dont think that it.. only draw more if its way off. but rarely happens. i check many times…. Whomp) same everything. :) even when hes rising ill give snacks.. haha. :D

ooh mightbe been a little late w +1-2 snack, maybeee, but not terrible. like 15 min. thats been done tho before. i like to wait a little bit anyway (+1). since onset is supposed to happen +1.5-2 w Lantus right..

what do you maybe make of it? (things good tho.. numbers nice. :)) im always eyeing numbers. :bookworm::coffee: im noticing days like this happen now time to time w early nadirs, +3-4.
