Happy Friday everyone!

Blaze’s amps is 384.

Usually Friday is my day off but I am subbing for a dental hygienist at another office so I will be gone all day, won’t be able to come home at lunch. Hopefully Blaze brings it down for PMPS!

 

Enjoy your day...looks like Blaze may be headed for an increase...keep counting those cycles Sarah. Enjoy your day!

 

Thanks Sue! Hope you and Luci have a good day!

Ya, looks like Blaze will need to go back up to 1U but he has until 10/14 pm shot to get it together if he doesn’t want an increase!

 

Have a great day at work today Sarah... dolla dolla billz y'all!

I hope you come home to a lower PMPS... at least you shouldnt have to worry about Blaze while you're at work today! #silverlinings

 

Have a good day at work.

 

I hope you come home to a lower number. I hope you can see how low this dose is taking Blaze this weekend.

 

I’m home! Only had to work a half day and I’m
not mad about it!

+5.5 is 320

 

PMPS is 239, getting a +1 test to see how he’s dropping tonight

 

If there is a big drop at +1, should I give a MC snack to start?

 

Yes, if it is a big drop, I would.

He is so darn handsome!!!

 

Okay sounds good! I want to avoid huge drops and keep him safe. If it’s not a big drop at +1, Im
not going to give him any snacks until +2 or 3, but we’ll see how he does!

Thank you! I had to show off how handsome he is!

 

Sometimes they get a food spike at +1 and then drop a lot at +2 so I would test at +2 and decide what to feed based on whether he’s the same/lower or alot higher than PMPS. If it’s the former, he’s going to likely come down tonight.

 

You think I should skip +1 test then and just wait until +2? That’s usually what I do since +1 is usually a food spike like you said.

 

I’m going to skip +1 and get a +2 test in an hour. If he’s dropped a lot, MC snack.

 

Nice job coming down today Blaze. Love those face markings! I have a thing for black and whites.

 

Neko is a gorgeous girl. I cried reading your one year post about her and watching her tribute video❤️

 

Okay +2 is 140 so that’s a 99 point drop

going to feed a MC snack, should I test in thirty minutes or is an hour okay?

 

Decided to get a +2.5 test in case he dropped more, which he did! BG is 103. Gave a little more MC to slow him down.

 

Sorry we were having dinner. Just for future record, I would have gotten the +1. I wasn’t addressing that since you sai you were going to get it. I was just letting you know not to overlook the +2.

He’s clearing a bounce so he’s likely to keep dropping all cycle.

 

Oh man I’m sorry, misunderstood again
I ALWAYS get a +2/3 but rarely get a +1 since it usually look like a food spike. Now I know for future reference. Still learning

Going to test Blaze at +3

 

Blaze is making moves for the lagoon!! Mowgli is waiting!! I hope blaze doesn't bounce tomorrow from this big drop, unless you wanted to be able to sleep tomorrow, then a bitty baby bounce is ok!

 

No apologies needed.

With a cat that dives when clearing a bounce, it’s good to get a +1 and catch those drops before they start. The goal is to flatten the curve even if it’s a little higher. By flattening it, we can, hopefully, stop the dives that causes subsequent bounces.

 

I can try to stay up until +6, that’s midnight for me, should I load up the auto feeder with MC snacks for the rest of the night when I go to bed?

 

Got it, that makes sense! Thank you Marje! Next time I will get a +1

 

Yes! Blaze wants to meet Mowgli in the lagoon!
And I’m sure he will bounce from this, it’s his M.O., bounces are his thing! I’m okay with him getting low on the weekends when I’m able to test (and can take a nap during the day unlike work days) but what I’ve learned so far, is Blaze does what he wants, he’s in charge

 

+3 is 104

 

+3.5 115

 

@Marje and Gracie

at some point, should I stop giving him MC and give him LC snacks?

 

He is flat, good to see what he could do with LC only (thinking about your sleep here).

 

Okay he is due for another test right now so I should give him LC after this +4 test?

 

+4 is 122

 

How long now since his last MC?

 

He had small snacks of MC @ +2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 so this would be his first LC snack

 

I hope it wasn’t overkill to give MC so much, I just wanted him to stop dropping so drastically

 

I gave LC, will test again in 30 minutes. If he’s up a bit or about the same, should I not feed?

 

LC would be OK, and I think you can move to hourly testing. You want two rising tests in a row, without influence of carbs, before calling it a night, I won’t be up for your next test.

 

Okay I got this! Thank you so much for your help Wendy!

 

You are welcome, nice to see Blaze in pretty numbers.

 

I know! I’m expecting a bounce tomorrow morning though, he always bounces after nice numbers

 

+4.5 is 136, no food given

 

+5.25 is 161, I’m heading to bed. Thanks everyone for the help tonight! Fingers crossed that Blaze doesn’t bounce too high in the morning

 

I’m sorry, Sarah. I fell asleep. Bad me. I’m glad Wendy was here and could help. Nice cycle!

 

No worries Marje, thanks for your help! I know Blaze was safe and Wendy was there to help just in case!
