Now that I have done it once, hopefully it won't be as bad the next time. Gotta get used to it since that is where we want to get him to stay.
 
+1 is 122. Gonna run to the store while my daughter watches him and get a bit more hc food and restock strips and lancets. Got enough strips to last the day of normal testing but after this morning I don't like being this low on them.
 
Good job this morning.
I'll add my

to the mix.

Um, when we asked if you had supplies, I assumed you had plenty of strips. There could always be the chance that your Walmart is out of the strips you normally use. I always ordered (online) more whenever I got down to my last 200 strips. You might want to keep an emergency stash somewhere for just in case, at least an extra box of 50, and refresh the box every so often so they don't expire. I also kept some baby food and 3 or 4 cans of HC food of different flavors (along with some MC too), and taped feeding syringes to the side of the bottles of karo and honey. I also had a bulb syringe in that corner of the pantry for the extreme case.
 
Mary Ann I thought I was OCD but apparently I am not alone! You are SOOOOO organized! I keep an extra vial of strips in my "Holy Crap" kit and swap it out every time I do a supply shop so they are always fresh strips along with the karo, bulb syringe, regular feeding syringe and some high carb kitty treats.

We have a good 15 strips left, but after this, yeah I think I don't want to let that get that low again. Luckily this walmart always seem to keep them pretty stocked. It is only the lancets that seem to run out at times.
 
His +2 is 187. Should I do a +3 or 4, or let him have a little pokey break til +6. I did buy him a new treat since he was getting so aggravated with all the extra testing.
 
+10 329

Looks like he slowed down after his bounce upwards. Will see what his ps is in a bit. Gonna start going 15 early each time to get us back to normal schedule. Should be back to normal on wednesday.
 
Starting this cycle out with yellow so will be interesting to see how we go through the night. My daughter has had plenty of sleep and I will be up til at least his +2 at midnight. I can definitely see how it will be better if I get these guys on an earlier schedule so if I need to stall again. Won't put feeding schedules so late.

PMPS 256
 
+2 309 so heading back up. Gonna have my daughter do a +5 since it looks like he is still bouncing and then let him take a break from poking until we start again in the morning.
 
And what a lovely PMPS !
It certainly has been an interesting day in this condo today! :cool:

You gathered some very valuable data today and some insight into what can happen to your kitty during a stall in the AM cycle.

It looks like you might also be getting an example of the current time it takes for Zeke to cleat a bounce ;)

Hopefully in the future you won't feel the need to do much stalling .
 
I won't be so nervous about it the next time after actually seeing how he does with it. Thank you for all your help and for everyone else too that helped.
