was so happy to see yellow today, dont get me wrong, but trying to make sense of it, especially with a rotten pmps back up in high pinks. Can anyone take a peek at our ss? Thank u

I'm sorry i'm not very helpful to others on this forum. I just feel i cant figure out dosing for my cat, and wouldnt be of much help to anyone else here on that score.
 
Those two yellows earlier are nice. Here's one possible explanation: you bumped up the dose from 3.4 u to 3.5 u on the morning of 10/13. This had the immediate result of giving you good numbers, so good it was a "no shot" that evening. When I get a "no shot" it generally tells me that a dose is a bit too high. Even though there are some yellows from 10/14 on, overall it looks like bouncing to me. You saw your first blue action when you got to 3.4 u, followed by higher numbers (likely bouncing) that prompted you to increase to 3.5 u. I'll go out on a limb here and say that 3.5 u is a bit too high. Maybe you could play with fat/skinny 3.4 u doses.

Bouncing makes us crazy! Increasing a dose when bouncing is happening creates a vicious cycle of dropping BG (maybe when you aren't testing so you don't see it) followed by higher BG on the rebound. The bouncing can persist several cycles and, in some cats, get them stuck up there. If there's any way you could get some tests at, say, +4,+6 and +8 or +5, +7, +9, or even a proper 12 h curve soon it might give you a better picture of what's happening - eg. we have a clearer idea of how Mr. B. did on 10/13 because of multiple tests. The other thing about bouncing is that even a drop in BG to a very reasonable number can trigger rebound. It's really complicated and almost impossible to make sense of it.
 
Just looked at your SS. It's interesting how those very small changes around 3.6 u have given you some yellows. There's a clue here somewhere but I'm not exactly sure where. Keep doing these little experiments and log the data. Getting lots of info is the key!

Sometimes a place to start helping is on Health. Your voice as a new member is very helpful - for example, telling people that testing is possible and tricks that helped you. Being supportive on ProZinc is fine - just telling others that you understand their frustration or cheering on a good cycle can mean a lot.

its a pickle isnt it! so hard to tell which way to go. i had done a little bump yesterday and had nice start today. cant do a curve today though. its mindboggling trying to figure this out.

I know how you feel. Just keep experimenting. I think if you look at it that way, over time you'll be less upset by higher/strange numbers.
