What a lovely cycle. First time in lower numbers is scary. You did well. And you will get used to them and start to love them.
See what the PMPS is. If it’s lower than you are used to, stall, don’t feed and test again in 20 mins to see if it’s coming up. Post and ask for advice. Put ‘STALLING NEED HELP’ in subject line so people can see.
Will you be home this cycle, can test and have plenty of test strips and some higher carb food and honey if needed.?

of course her lovely numbers are happening when I have plans for the first time in weeks! Was going to a physically distant bbq with my family so I Won’t be able to monitor well. I won’t be gone long (1 hr to 1.5). I’ll find out her number in 15 minutes.

she’s the same BG at 139 not sure if I should shoot at 2.25. I am so not used to low numbers! My ideal plan is I’m leaving immediately after this pmps and will be back by +2 She gets a snack at +2.5. I just don’t want her to go low after I’ve left
 
It would be a shame not to give insulin but the Preshot is quite a bit lower than you are used to.
Your options are to stall for 20 mins and see if she comes up a bit, give the full dose or give a reduced dose.
 
The little drop to +11 could have been a Lantus double dip, where they go down a bit, but not as low as the main nadir. Also, it's within meter variance so might not have been much of a drop anyway. I think if she's still in the same range at preshot time, you could feed, perhaps a bit on the higher end of low carb if you have it, as long as you'll be back by +2. You did shoot a 9 (155) before.

Yes I did i guess I’m just freaking out because she finally saw some green today and bad timing because I’ll be out
 
Cats always have the worst timing! I am half expecting she might bounce tonight. If you have an automatic feeder, you can also leave a mini meal for +1.

I do have one. I’ll do that. She is now 131 15 minutes later

I’ll shoot 2.25 but leave out a +1 hr snack and will be home in 2+ thoughts?
 
There's that expected bounce. Glad you managed to get out for a bit.

And yes with TR and seeing green we do hold the dose longer, at least 10 cycles. Eventually you will learn to crave those normal numbers. :D
