Amps 315
Good morning,
Well that was a bit of a while ride last night around here. Right around +1.5 to +2 (through +4) Ivy decided she was going to break her bounce with gusto.
She dove to 44 on Libre sensor at +1.75. :nailbiting: (I did not ear prick because she never went into the “Lo” territory on the Libre, which usually corresponds to under 100 on the handheld meter)
I had to feed her some medium carb FF 15% a few times to try to pull her up a little bit and keep her from continuing to go down further for several hours.

Tried to keep her from earning reduction, which not sure if that was the right, move or not.
Of course this morning is a bounce.

**I have to go out this evening for a few hours tonight around +1 to +4 and I’m hoping she doesn’t do a major dive. I may add some 15% FF to her 6% meal and to her +1+2+3 snacks just to try to keep her elevated a little while I am out so my son doesn’t have too hard of time while he is watching her.
(does that seem like a good idea or does anybody have any other thoughts on how to keep her from diving to too low)?

Safe surfing to all you kitties and a mellow Saturday for all :bighug:

Wow, trying on adventure pants Miss Ivy!!

I hope she's steadier for you today Staci, have a good Saturday!

lol. Thanks Deb, that’s good way of putting it. It certainly was an adventure. I’d like her to give up the extreme sports diving and bouncing combo and just surf. Hope you and Sly have a calm day. :bighug::bighug:
 
I see Ivy was making Friday night exciting.
Hopefully she'll settle down today and will not worry you while you're out. Calm and steady Ivy!

I totally get it Staci.
Ivy tends to go low early, so loading her up before you go seems to make sense.
Or you will spend your outing hours worrying about her.
Maybe @Angela & Cleo can chime in for her view.
Stay steady Ivy! You are making good progress! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

I haven’t really tried this strategy, but this week she’s really into early diving after pmps. How much 15% do you think is reasonable to add to her main meal and 3 subsequent snacks?
(snacks are only like 1 tablespoon per hour of her 6% food)
@Mikanmama @Angela & Cleo

Thanks you guys for the opinions :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
WOW Staci, what a ride. You've dealt with Ivy's low so well. Well done. it sounds like it was quite worrying and you did well for giving her MC.
Hope all will go safely so you can go out peacefully. Keep us posted.
Wishing you a peaceful weekend :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
+10 295 on Libre
Been in the upper 100s and 200s on Libre all day except for a nadir dip at +5 to 96 on her Libre reading.
I guess I will mix in with her 6% LC a bit of 15% mc (with dinner at pmps 1 tsp, and for the first 3 hours of her pm cycle (1/2 tsp) in her auto feeder mixed with her lc 6% regular food) to hope to keep her from diving while I am out this evening for a few hours. :nailbiting:
Let’s hope this experiment works so she doesn’t dive while I go out.

Seem like a good plan??

Hi Staci,
I like the idea of mixing 1tsp 15% with LC at PMPS. Given her tendency to drop early like last night, feed her small snack at +1 and +2 as well?
Maybe a bit of overboard but better safe if you are going out.

Yes, she will get a +1 & +2 snack. I thought 1/2 tsp mc 15% mixed with her 1 tbsp lc 6% snacks.

I’m sure it’s more carbs than she needs but I don’t want her diving down to the 50s or lower on her libre in the first 1-2 hours while I’m out.

It’s so stressful for both me and my son (when I’m texting and calling telling him what to do and then She ends up scratching him to terrorize him). She’s mean girl and he loves her so much.

Thanks for your thoughts, Kit :):bighug:

Hi Shelly, thanks for stopping in :)
Yep it’s been a bit wild the past week with her sudden drops and then fast bounce.
I’m hoping that plan if a bit of mc will hold her up while I’m out for a few hours tonight.
It’s a good experiment. And of course right now she’s bouncing up high. I just have to hope she doesn’t drop fast and hard while I’m out.
Soooo stressful to try to have a pleasant evening out.
I hope you and your family are having a pleasant evening. Probably bed time for you now!! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

I know what you mean... It's so hard to plan to go out and when you finally do they decide to do a hoola hoop night ...
I was already in bed but I found it difficult to fall asleep bc I had a coffee too late in the afternoon and it disturbed my sleep. bad move ! And Fistuk decided he has energy and wants to tease his brother. So it's all go now...
I wish you an enjoyable evening. You sure deserve one :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Thank you for the good wishes my sweet friend.
I hope you can go back to sleep and get some rest. I’ve learned that I cannot drink coffee in the afternoon or for sure it will keep me up at night, so I avoid it. But absolutely need two strong cups in the morning to get started.
I hope Fistuk settles down and gets a good night’s rest as well, sweet dreams. :bighug::bighug:

Yes, I know that too about myself but I was foolish. Paid for it ;) And Fistuk made sure I'm not sleeping much either.
I hope you had a lovely night out :bighug::bighug::bighug:
