+2 about the same as PMPS tonight. I wonder why he hasn't been having that drop at +2 for the past 3 nights

Hm, it's hard to tell. One possibility is NDW (new dose wonkiness) that can occur in increases (but not decreases), and it can cause numbers to increase. It usually lasts a few cycles, maybe a couple of days (you can search this on the site and read about it). I think I might have mentioned to you before, it takes Jude several cycles (often 6, sometimes more) for him to see action on a dose. I think the depot is building and the .25 dose will begin kicking in soon.

The 126 is definitely a promising start this morning! I hope this new dose begins bringing those end cycle numbers down for Xander.

Have a good day, and safe surfs, Xander!
 
If you can, I would make sure he eats a little to bump him up as he surfs along (rather than allow him to graze at will)--stick with LC to see if it works; bump him up to MC if LC doesn't do the job. You want to make sure he doesn't go too low for the obvious risk of hypo, but also, those lower numbers can cause a bounce, so you want to flatten out the surf with food, if you can, to keep him from bouncing. That increase to 71 is good. Great job, Albert!

Do you have some Fortiflora on hand? It's a good enhancer to encourage eating. I sprinkle it on Jude's LC food when I need for him to take a few bites.

I got him to eat some more around the +2.5/+3 mark. As of +4 looks like he's still hanging out at 71.
 
Also discovered Fancy Feast has petities today and it looks like the beef and the turkey pate are low carb. Based on the ingredients, Im assuming the braised chicken pate would also be low carb.

My local Walmart only had the beef. I'll try it out tonight and see if other stores has the turkey or chicken. I think the tiny portions would be perfect for the snack times or the times when I only have a little more calories to get in him.
