    Hi all, Yoshi has been doing well on the 6u. Last night I tested him at +4 and he was 64. I waited about a minute or two and retested and he was at 80. Can BG go up that quickly? Did he earn a reduction?

    I gave MC and went to bed. I thought I would wake up in the night to test again but no dice.

    He was 176 this am. I had MC (12%) out all night, so I think that's what did it.

    Gave a skinny 6 this am. @Wendy&Neko, thoughts?

    Since you're using the AT2 Yoshi has earned a reduction! congrats!

    the reduction point for TR for an AT is 68 :)

    I'm just wondering if it was a real 60 since BG was 80 a couple min later.

    Well, either way you slice it...there was a number under the threshold with the AT2...better take that reducie to play it safe.

    Congratulations!!

    I see your point, a third test would be needed to really ensure you KNEW he didn't go below 68. I guess in this case it would be your own call. Based on his recent numbers are you comfortable to keep the dose the same? or are you nervous? Like Sue, I also would take a more cautious approach, but you definitely know Yoshi best :)

    Agreed, take the reduction and take him down to 5.5 units. Don't bother skinnying when he is over 3 units dose.

    And since Yoshi has shown he likes to visit the deep end of the lagoon, I would try everything possible to make sure you are getting those second tests for those PM cycles. I see a couple blank spots in the SS lately.;) Gotta keep our acrobuddies safe.

    I will now. I assumed we both could get a break now and then because he’s on a lower dose. Will make sure I get one every night after pmps

    Good, don’t trust the tumour! I do like the change in his spreadsheet and reduced dose. :cool:

    Me too. Of course I gave a fur shot of all fur shots last night and he’s pink this am. I feel so bad. I hope the depot fills back up quickly.

    Think of it as an accidental depot drainer. Yoshi will recover.
