Hi all,

Previous thread here:

Today I want to try to get hourly tests up to +6 so I can see where her nadir actually is - based on yesterday I suspect it may be +5 at the moment, not +6.

0.25u

Regards,

So, trying to find her nadir, have given her food as follows today and monitoring from AM +2 to +6 (will update this post with food details):
+2 - t-spoon of MC with snack @ BG 76
+3 - t-spoon MC @ BG 68
+4 - t-spoon LC @ BG 68
+5 - no food @ BG 79
+6 - no food @ BG 77

So, interesting, I think her nadir is still +6 (generally), but she does a rapid drop between +2 and +3, which seems to carry on until +4 (bearing in mind 2 t-spoon MC food fed at +2 and +3).

After that she levels out until +6 with a more gentle drop until then.

So what did I learn from this strip intensive exercise ... mostly what I already knew: that the critical time for her drops is +2 and +3; which is usually when she needs MC snacks. But it is useful to know that at the moment she doesn't need MC after +3, and that she doesn't really need a snack after about +3.

That is sort of borne out by her behavior; she is very very food motivated until about +4, but then generally doesn't monitor me when I go to the kitchen unless I make 'food' noises.

Helps with planning I guess.
