Friday 11/1

Well, just when you’d think it’s safe to go to sleep +3 gave 2t 12 MC. +3.5 gave 1 t 14 MC

 

@Bron and Sheba (GA) Hey Bron Look who’s here Depending on +4 I’m going straight for HC ....your thots knowing him ? Excuse stacking skills...doing this on iPad

 

Trying to keep him in blue as going low blue to green can bring on black bounce ...

 

Hi Beth!
How long before the test? I have to go out in 5 mins for about an hour then I’m back.
Why do you want to go straight to h c?
How’s his appetite?

 

Appy good ....seems when he hits low blue to green he has black bounces for several cycles after...testing now

 

+4 148....maybe I can manage this with the 14 MC ....gave another 1 t MC 14

 

Ok.

 

At +3..... 178 point drop ( 2 t 12 MC)....at +3.5..... 53 point drop (1 t 14 MC)....at +4 ....28 point drop ( 1 t 14 MC)

 

+4.5 118. 1 t MC 14. Test in 30. 22 point drop

 

Ok. I’m home now.
Elmo certainly likes the slippery slide

 

What do you think , Bron ? About trying to steer him into mid to upper blue ....SS shows how he goes black for several cycles when he dips low blue to green.... wanting to give him more time in blues to get him used to them ....

 

I’d like to have a good look at his SS but can’t at the moment but I think yes for today ...... blues .... he’s already down to 118 so maybe try keeping him around that.
When I have a chance I’ll have a good look at his SS.

 

Thanks , Bron ....MC 14 keeping him blue surfing ...giving another 1 t MC 14.....+5 121

 

Look forward to your thots on the SS ....the blacks that follow the low blues and greens....there is no other reason for them ...least that’s what I’ve surmised ...

 

+5.5. 131..... giving 1 t 10 LC to see if he will continue surfing ( his normal food is 2 LC )....what do you think , Bron ??

 

Yes good choice Beth. Or it could be a lower carb than 10

 

I’ll see what we get at +6 and go down to 6 LC....thinking to slide him down carb amount as well ....this dude makes you have to think creatively.... this all came to me since the last bounce....how could I experiment and do things differently .....we shall see Next lowest LC carb I have is 6 ....

 

Hope your DH birthday dinner was wonderful DH is a September baby and I am October And how are the kookaburras?

 

Hi Beth and Bron, I see Elmo's up to his usual all night pawtys!

 

Sonia, what the heck are you doing up at this Elmo hour !?!?!

 

We had a great night thanks.
Kookaburras are all fine...I think they will be bringing their babies over soon. I can hear them in the trees about 20 meters away.
Hi Sonia!

Sheba was a big diver and bouncer so I know how frustrating it is trying to get them to stay in low numbers without bouncing.

 

+6 143.....give 1 t 2 LC .....Bron ?

 

Bron, it makes me feel so good to know you’ve experienced this too... Should I give the 2LC or no food and see what happens

 

I think I would just leave him without food this time and see how he goes.

 

My thought too ....so you had many pj parties with Sheba ??? Did she ever stop bouncing ?

 

Got up to test my kitty-poo and got sidetracked!
I hope Elmo continues to rise and you can get some sleep!

 

Bron, when you get a chance, post more pictures of your birdies please, they're so sweet!

 

G'night ladies, I'm btb, need to get up in a couple of hours!

 

Thanks for stopping by , Sonia Scritches to precious Leo ❤️

 

+6.5. 145 ..... no food and test again in 30 , Bron ?

 

I had many PJ parties with Sheba. She could never be trusted to drop in a sedate manner. So I had to test frequently. I learn to fall asleep in-between 1/2 hourly tests without any trouble….probably from exhaustion....and I lived by the alarm on my mobile phone.
The bounces became less of a problem although she still did bounce but I learnt to manage them better by trying to control the drops which triggered them. She would be fine for a while and then she would break out and bounce again.
In the last several months she settled down to a lot more greens and blues.
She taught me patience.

 

yes, then I think you could try an hour if the numbers hold.

 

Wish I could nap....I’ve gotten to where when he does this I keep moving and get things done that I won’t tomorrow cos I’ll nap

 

So Test in 30...no food...then test again in hour before sleep ???

 

Was Sheba not carb sensitive as Elmo isn’t ? I’m envious of kitties who easily can be carbed up

 

I used honey mostly instead of h c food. I did use some h c but not often.

 

Let’s see what the numbers are before making a decision

 

+ 7 155....no food ...test in an hour ....then a little sleep What you think, Bron ?

 

Yes I agree, as long as the BG is not dropping.

 

So plan is no food now...test in one hour...if holding then sleep....leave 2 LC down when sleep

 

I see Elmo is up to his tricks again. I hope he keeps surfing safely and you can get more sleep.
