? 03/27 Henry PMPS 79,+1 86,+2 67,+3 63

Hi everyone,

I'm stalling for 20 minutes and withholding food, I think that's the protocol?

I've never shot 1 unit this low so I don't know what to do. His PMPS is always over 100 so this is really confusing me. I checked it twice with the same result.

 

Hi - yes you can stall without feeding and grab another test to see if Henry is rising or falling (though rising is not a requirement for shooting...some kitties will keep dropping without food).

As long as you can monitor and have MC, HC, honey, and strips, you can shoot when following TR. I'd get a +1 and +2 and go from there.

You shot a 94. With meter variance this is close.

 

@JaxBenji @tiffmaxee

Thank you both for your help. I tested again and he is at 88. I gave him 1 unit, and I'll be sure to grab lots of tests as I'm an overly panicked cat mom which I'm sure you can tell!

 

@JaxBenji @tiffmaxee

He's at 67 @+2. Should I feed him?

 

Yes - looks like you usually feed at +5? maybe part of that snack? How much do you usually feed then?

The idea is to feed a little bit to help keep Henry surfing.

 

I give him roughly two tablespoons. I can give him some now. Should I feed low carb or medium carb?

 

I'd do low carb - maybe do two teaspoons and test in an hour? If you are nervous, you can test in 30 (and/or feed mc).

 

You may want to update your title as you go so those scrolling can see if you need any help (& change the date to 03/27 ). I'll keep an eye prob for another 30ish minutes.

(was the 63 @ +3 or +2.5? )

Hopefully Henry has a flat gentle cycle

 

Thank you @JaxBenji for your help!

Lol I feel so dumb, I thought today was the 28th! +4 is 70, looks like we're holding steady! I feel like I'm going to have a long night though

 

Henry had a beautiful cycle - next time he goes two hours without food and holds steady, you can probably call it a night (I would have called it a night at +6). You have lots of data for next time Here's some for today
