Back at the Lagoon again.

Good job giving him a snack, hopefully that will help level him out.

As he is at +4, and in the earlier part of the cycle, you may find that he will continue to drop for a while yet. Until you see him start to come up or at least stay pretty flat, don't assume he is done with dropping.
At the moment we don't know if he dropped fast at +2, then leveled off, or if this drop just happened in the last hour. If it's the latter, then one would need to pay more attention than if he dropped to say 65 at +2 and was now still in the 60's. The number he is at the moment is important, but just as important (if not more) is the direction that number is heading. If a number is rising, then we can relax a bit, if it's falling we need to keep our wits about us and monitor more closely, if they are level, you want to keep one eye open, but you are probably in safer waters (depending where in the cycle you are)

Looking at the ss, he seems to Nadir at around +5, though at times he has nadired later (its a cats prerogative to keep you guessing), so he may not drop much further.... but safety first, I'd check him again no later than +5

 

Yesterday's Condo

We usually post a link to the previous days condo (post), that way anyone stopping by to help you can easily look back to see what happened historically and what advice was given. It helps save a lot of time, which, when you are trying to help several folk at once is really helpful.

If you could remember to do that I would be eternally grateful

Thanks

 

Yes I plan on testing him at 5 and can you help me by letting me know how do I post a link to yesterday's condo I'm not very tech-savvy

 

Okay, going up. 70 now

 

Looking great Mango! Good job Leslie!

 

Well look at you, Mango! Leslie, were you able to get more strips? Looks like Mango might be spending a good amount of time in the lagoon.

 

Go to your yesterday's condo and open it, click on the web bar at the top of your screen (wherever you would type in a wed address), select that whole address, right click and copy it, and then come to your new condo for today and paste it in a comment. You can try it today even though your condo is already linked just to make sure you got it down. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

I am using the old meter. I found a few of those strips. I am going in a little bit to get the strips for my Relion confirm. I will check him with those when I get back. Lazy day again. So cold just want to snuggle under the covers! I live in south Florida and it is cold! Thank you so much! I would be lost without you guys! I have learned so much and I still need and want to learn more and understand the numbers better. I am also going to get 1/2 unit syringes today to make it easier since he is on such a low amount. Off to shower with HOT water! Lol

 

Thx!

 

Lovely numbers!!

Testing this link

 

Feeding lunch then off to get strips.

 

Yay! It worked!

 

Still in the lagoon! What to shoot now!

 

He wants to eat! What do I do????? He ate at 11:30 and he's hungry now.

 

Are you at PMPS?

 

If you are not at PMPS, it’s too soon to consider what to do at shot time. If you are within 2 hours of shot time and he is hungry, can you give him a no carb snack like freeze dried chicken or some boiled chicken to tide him over? Since his number is green, you really don’t want the preshot number to be food influenced so you’ll know what to do when you shoot.

 

Also, if you have a time sensitive question, change the title of your current condo to say something like “can I feed him now” and select the ? prefix, that way people know you are waiting for an answer

 

He ate 2 bites. No more for now.

 

Where is the link on how to make your own food?

 

This is Nutro Perfect portions. They do not have carb info.What do you think? Mango likes this. No info on Dr. Lisa's list.

That food seems to be 0-0.5% carbs. You can contact the company and ask for the as fed values.

 

I just called Nutro and the Pates are 0.77 carbs and the wild Frontier pates are 1.88 carbs. Pierson has no info. Mango loves these and I was hesitant to feed because Pierson had blank info on them.

 

I suspect that's because they did not give her the data she required.

Did they give you the as fed values and you calculated?
Or did they give you the carb value? If they gave you the carb value was it an as fed value?

 

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, for some reason I didn't get your notification.

I'm glad Stacy was able to help you with the link question.

Really nice numbers today.

Hope you get to the store for some more of those strips, you might be looking at your lowest preshot yet, so you will want to not be worrying about running out of strips.

 

Here is one, they sell a premix you add to meat you purchase to make raw food:

No, they just gave me the carbs of each flavor.

 

got the new strips, used them on plus 9. Ready to do +11 now.

 

@+11 145???????????

 

He only had a few licks of FF!! 2 hours ago!

 

Mango read his thread and thought he'd throw us a curve ball.

I take it he's still feeling well?

I'm having an early night, have a headache.
Don't worry if he's a little higher at pmps. Stick to the 0.25 u

He had great numbers this morning,, look at the positive.

Night night.

 

Night! Feel better!
