Good news is we have a nice blue number, bad news is it looks like another one of his long cycles. To low for me to shoot comfortably. I can't give him a pm shot later than 12 hours from now (5pm), because that's when I leave for work. I may be able to get my fiance to do it if I have to give this shot late, but then I have to be back on this schedule (5/5) by Friday anyway.

So I'm ready for a big bounce regardless. I wish I knew if I should just give him a .25 or something, but he would probably shot back up anyway.

His last shot was not in the scruff, but rather his side and was 1.25 units.

I'm trying to remember from last time we went through this, but if he's going to be having these long cycles, then I would want to chase his numbers right? If I need to do that, this week is a very bad week as I have two split days off. But maybe next week my schedule will be back to normal somewhat and I would be able to if need be.

I'll be off mentally preparing myself for some ugly black numbers again.
 
Just retested 2 hours later, 351. So I gave 1 unit, and the fiance said he can give him his pm shot while I'm at work. He did eat 2 hours ago when I tested him the first time, but would you guys know about how much food can send his BG up? I'll be able to get a mid cycle number since we are having some work done at the house so I'll be woken up early.
 
Darn! I thought maybe we'd see a little higher number with the 1.25 this time. Yes, It would be ideal to chase the number. I have never seen a cat do this before. I wonder if you could get a couple days off, chase the number and see if he'd settle down - even go off the juice.....
 
Is he still eating KD? It is 35% carbs. If so, that could really be messing with his numbers.

Depending on how he did with one unit on the 351, you might consider setting your no shoot number lower. Maybe 180? No feeding until he reaches that, then maybe try .5 I would only try it on a day I could monitor.
 
He never really liked the K/D and I never really did either. He's strictly on canned Wellness Turkey.

+5 was 422
+10 was 400

I'll be having my fiance give him his shot in an hour or two, before he eats.

Are his numbers bouncing here from the low this morning? Should I stick with 1.25? I will be at work all night so the fiance will have to monitor him.
 
Actually, I'm going to give him his shot as I'm headed out the door. It will be at +11, but he's not in low numbers or anything. He's begging me for food already, and I don't want him to have to wait another hour.
 
Yes, it's clearly a bounce but I hate seeing him so high. If your boyfriend can monitor, 1.25. If not, one? We might consider the 11/13 shooting schedule. 11 when he is higher at night, giving him a longer time in the am to come up a little from the long cycle?

You might take the KD off your signature. I'm glad he is not eating it.
 
Just tested again, 390. He might still be slowly dropping? Or could it just be meter variance? Should I just go with 1 unit? Or 1.25 anyway? Or just wait and have the fiance shoot 1.25 around +12?

I completely forgot I had listed K/D in my sig, it's gone now, sorry for the confusion.
