She's going down slowly with 371 @ +2 (389 PS). Should I wait to test again at +5?

I think I would get a +4. If she does drop I don't want to miss it. Is that OK?

Yup, I can do that!

I am such a zombie, I laid down and THOUGHT I slept through the alarm, woke up and tested... and it's only +3.5 not +4... OMG I am clearly very tired LMAO. At +3.5 she is at 365. What time should I test again now? Sorry about that!!

It doesn't matter at all! Looks like she could be bouncing from the greens this morning.
You might need to change the +3 column to +3.5 not 4.5. You are just very tired!
I think you could leave it until +6 and if she is still high. leave it then until AMPS.

Good catch, thank you, I changed it.
Yes, so, so tired. Ok, I'll test again at +6 and see where she is. Thank you! Going for some sleep

She's coming back up again with 371 at +6. I'm off to get more sleep before work. I'll wait to test again until her AM PS. Hopefully I can get her time moved soon, it's not going to work doing it this way, way too late for tests after *zzz*

Once you get back to a better schedule and she is feeling better, it will be much easier.
I hope you manage to get some sleep.
She could bounce for up to 6 cycles. Once she starts coming down, she could come down quite quickly and keep coming down to the end of the cycle so just be on the look out.
It was a better day today than yesterday!

Good idea! Unfortunately, I don't know what the carbs are as I'm in Canada and the food list doesn't have many options for Canadian food. Some of the foods are on the American chart, would they be the same in Canada and the Canadian one just has foods that aren't listed in the US? My other kitties are enjoy little blobs of the ones she isn't eating, they're in heaven right now with all the options! Lol.
She's snacking on the chicken breast and temptation off and on still. I think she has to poop but she's uncomfortable so she's currently wanting to hang out near the little boxes but is wary of them
Hi, I'm in Canada. I mostly use the US food chart and can find some of the brands listed and assume that the carb content is the same in both countries. The Fancy Feast Classic on the chart is the same as the regular pates you find here in grocery stores. Some of the other brands you can find at Pet Smart and Pet Value stores. I feed Checkers Weruva, and they have the carb content listed on their website.

I did get a couple hours, luckily!
I will keep in mind that she's likely bouncing until likely Friday, correct?
Such a better day!! It's a challenge to do all this but so worth it seeing her improve

Hi Chris, thank you for the response and information! I feed Friskies (when she's actually eating) and only the pates as it's the most affordable with having 5 cats. Hopefully she will start eating that again soon! I will check out the US chart and find out what the carbs are for the ones I bought her to entice her to eat so I know for the future when giving those.
Thanks again!
