Insanely busy day at work today. I'm just now getting around to posting.

Chino got HC last night at +5 when his last meal at +4 did absolutely nothing to slow him down. He got more at +5.5 and +6. I've added a case of 7% cans to my next autoship and will start giving that on the nights that follow a bounce or a flat cycle. I might end up pushing his BG higher if he continues to bounce on some of the nights that I give this, but the benefit will outweigh the consequences if it can keep him from diving (or at least make it easier to slow him down and still get 6-7 hours of sleep).

Just got a +2. I'm amazed by how quickly he's clearing bounces now! He's dropping faster than he was last night, but his BG was higher tonight by 100 mg/dL, so I'll wait to see where he is at +4, then maybe feed some MC with his LC meal. (Or HC if he's already under 200 at that point.)
 
PMPS = 396 (3rd meal LC 3%)
[10 units Lantus]
+2 = 324
+4 = 195 (4th meal LC 3% with 2 tsp gravy from HC 20%)

Next check at +5. No work tomorrow, so I can stay up for as long as necessary tonight... but I'm hoping to figure out the trick to keeping him safe without having to stay up late tonight.

His BG is still dropping, but not as quickly now! :D I just gave him a small piece of freeze-dried chicken. The +6 will tell me if I should've given him more HC. If he continues at this slower rate, he'll still be above 100 at the next check, and I don't want to keep him from seeing green again tonight, so I held off.
 
The actual +6.5 is 152. So it looks like I overcarbed him. But this is good. It means that he would've been safe if I had gone to bed at +4. Next time, I'll see how he does on just 1 tsp of gravy with the +4 meal.
