    You’re doing great, Adrienne! Test her again soon to see if she is coming up. If she’s above 50, you can just give her MC instead of the yucky honey. Ruby hates it too!

    I can't get her to bleed and she's having none of it, I hurt her, ear is sore. Have to give her a little bit of time, no choice. She was crying and struggling.

    How long since you gave her the HC? It will take 20-30 mins for the food to affect her numbers. No point testing before 20 mins.

    I would test again in 30-45 mins and feed accordingly. Leave out the LC in case she wants to keep grazing.

    Adrienne, okay so you fed some MC @2.75 with that 54. I'll check back with you when you get the next test in 30 minutes.

    From what I've read:
    45 @+2 - Fed HC (20%)
    54 @+2.75 - Fed MC (12%) & LC is down in case Dolly wants to graze.
    Next test approximately +3.25 ish.

    Just came on. If she eats every 30 minutes she should not drop too low if you need to test a bit less for the sake of her ears. If you need syrup you just need a small amount added to mc if she prefers it. See , your intuition to reduce was correct. She would have earned it if you had not taken it when you did. That’s what I was trying to explain at the time and why I said to not go back up. The depot was really full.

    Elise, I don’t think she is going to eat every 30 minutes, not lc. She already ate 2 dishes of her regular food. I knew something was up then because she never eats at shot time. It’s her new thing, waits about a half hour.

    Just leave out food as always. I bet she will eat on her own if dropping. Try and get a test in an hour or so. Don’t push her.

    I think if she's at 44 and she's not eating HC wet food then treats are ok.

    It’s fun be to give hc treats. They just take a little longer to leave the bg. I think you need to find some new smelly foods she can’t resist. Fish ones perhaps. For Max it was Soulistic Triple Harmony. Is she more congested day?

    She’s resting but due for a test. Can I give her a half hour break or is it not safe? Having hard time getting blood from her today.

    Terrible the last few days. Snorting. Post nasal drip. We did the fish for a bit but she really only likes chicken. She will eat almost anything with her FortiFlora on it. She’s had so much to eat today. More than any day I can remember. Can I be 1/2 hour late on her +6? She’s laying in the sun. Having a hard time getting blood today and she is so sore.

    She should be done going under 50 this late. I guess let her behavior be your guide are you feeding a teaspoon or two each time?

    Yes, I saw that. You said she’s not wanting to eat because she’s eaten a lot. So I wanted to know how much you have been feeding each time.

    She’s late for her test. 56@+7. Gave her some of her favorite 20% just to get her to eat. She had 2 bites. I know she should be going up on her own now but she’s not. I am also dealing with my family having Covid. Everyone has been exposed except for us thank goodness. It’s all very stressful and scary especially because they don’t take it seriously and then there’s my Dolly girl today. She has a bowl of lc to graze on. I’m doing the best I can.

    Put a couple tsps of 15% mc on top of her lc food. She hasn’t had anything to eat since before her fast. Ate a couple bites. Otherwise she seems fine.

    Do you think you can get a +3 to see where she's headed? I know it has been a stressful day for you.

    Do you mean the drop below 50? It's a good thing! It's a signal that Dolly's insulin needs are reducing. Her pancreas are healing with all the green.
