I never like numbers quite that low when I have to be out of here at +1. No doubt she wants me to stay home from work today - she hasn't realized I can't do that!
 
Going with the 127 at +1. The 261 was a real WHAT???? moment. Figure it must have been a bad strip - not even Rosa could pull that jump off!
 
that would be a pretty gigantic food spike!:cool:

What's rosa's feeding schedule? I'm just thinking that for a cat this close to an OTJ trial, sometimes a bite (literally one teaspoon) of regular LC about +9 can bring down the preshot numbers. Eating stimulates the pancreas to put out a little insulin, which pulls down the BGs.

Another option . . . . I'm wondering if some of her higher numbers would come down if she moved to a grazing type of eating pattern - a little bit eaten frequently around the clock. Not sure how that would work in your life, but i thought i'd mention it as a possibility.
 
Haha :) It would've been the biggest food spike I've ever seen! ;) With the retest so much lower, I'm going with a bad strip that gave the first insane reading.

Rosa is free-fed - simply because she always has been and with so many cats in the house, it's really difficult to do anything else - they all want to eat at different times. This morning, I didn't pick up the food at +10 and she gave me that much lower reading AMPS so I'm guessing she'd eaten not long before I tested her.

Only home for about 20 minutes or so now before we have to go back out for the evening, so she's not getting her shot tonight - I'll be testing her as soon as I get home to see exactly what happens with her numbers with no insulin especially as her curves have looked so odd recently!!
 
So far so good - just got home and she's at 99 at +17. Going to get one more test before bed in an hour or so. I guess I'll have to see where she finishes up in the morning to work out what to do next though.
