And he's back up again. Now I can believe this is bouncing due to the usually no food hike last night. Just means I can't make a decision to increase when he's bouncing as it's not realistic as to what the dose is doing. Guess I'm holding this dose another week.

 

Bouncing can be frustrating when you're trying to make a decision on the dose. Maybe he won't bounce tomorrow for your curve.

 

If he's bouncing I won't do one. So hoping it's not a yellow AMPS. Think I've already decided to hold dose so doing a curve is moot.

 

Maybe Silver is doing a normal curve for a change on this cycle.

 

If history holds true...he was higher earlier and coming back in the later part of the cycle. I wonder if he will clear this bounce and keep dropping through the PM cycle and not have a food bump....watcha you think Silver, want to keep dropping?

 

Strange drop at PMPS but I will be surprised if there is not food hike.

 

Those numbers are sure flat....I hope there is only a small food spike...

 

Flat yellows sometimes precede an active cycle.

 

I'll test in a couple hours and see what the +2 does.

 

Ok so quite a big food hike but still yellow. Just.

 

Crikey! So not clearing the bounce then. Sheesh!

 

But this isn't a bounce. The 293 is the food hike right. And not even a high one as I usually don't get the +2 and he's up 80 pts at +4. So up 80 at +2 isn't as high as the usual food hike given that I'm expecting the bedtime test to be lower. Maybe even blue.

 

344 and pink? only the second pink this year - what on earth is going ON!?!?! This dose is doing crazy things to his numbers! This is scaring me its so high.

 

I don't understand either. That 7 yesterday isn't that low for him.

 

Kind of is on this dose tho. Lowest in a while.

 

Am thinking maybe he went low last night as that 9 is quite low for that time in the pm cycle.

 

That would be different MO for him. To go down after that 9...

 

Hmmm not really. He does go down from +10 onwards. So if he was 9 at just +4 he could well have gone much lower by +10. That's his trend. You and @carfurby said he was bouncing this morning so he had to bounce off something. 9 too high for him to bounce off.

 

Right so if he usually goes up till around +6...or maybe he didn't go up...he went down. As he was yellow this morning.

Man of Mystery

 

Have you considered feeding -0- carb at PS meal? Just a thought really - just wondering if that would prevent the food spike and let the insulin "grab" and build momentum.

 

He doesn't usually go up to +6. He usually goes right up at +2. Stays up pretty flat and comes down around +10. So the fact that he didn't go up further than that 9 means he could, and likely did, go much lower by +10. Hence me thinking that pink is a bounce. Testing for his AMPS soon.

 

Well he spikes at all meals and I don't know where I'd find zero carb food.

 

I know Tiki food is zero carb but not sure if you can get it there. I think you are in the UK?

I'm in Canada actually and I have never seen that here. He is on low carb FF.

 

I think yesterday was the start of a bounce from however low Silver went on the 29th. He may have tried to come down a little bit early in the day and then bounced anyway. It looks like he is coming down from the bounce this morning. He is not used to those low blue numbers (or he may have even touched green on the 29th) and bounced. Sometimes Furball will just bounce sky high for no clear reason (look at this morning) and other times have smaller bounces.

 

I dont understand why you say he is not used to those low blue numbers - look at his ss - he is often low blue - March 17th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, 26th, 27th, 29th - all within one point of each other - I am looking on his Canadian ss so thats 4.4; 6.8; 8.8; 8.7. 5.7; 8 all around the same as that 7 you are talking about on the 29th. So I am a little confused. I do think he likely did touch green that 29th but even when he does touch green - he doesnt usually bounce into pink. And every AMPS has been high yellow on this dose which he hasnt been at for a while. Its all been low yellows. So can it ALL just be bouncing? for the whole week?

 

no data in your ss this morning .....

 

So what do I do re the dose? Hold, increase? reduce?
