? Zephyr: AMPS 245, +5 304, +8.5 177, PMPS 78 Shoot or not??

Sorry, not sure if this qualifies as a 911. Zephyr has really dropped today with a PMPS of 78. Should I skip the shot? Reduce to 1.5? Looking for advice. Thank you.

 

Hi there !

You can stall - DON'T feed- and retest to see if he is on his way up or continuing to trend downwards.
You have shot a ( 76) back in late January it looks like. Do you have plenty of testing supplies and food if you need it?

 

I have all the necessary materials. ****. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to feed. He already snarffed his dinner like it was going out of style.

 

With SLGS, you don’t shoot under 90. Your choices are to stall, which means waiting without feeding, and keep testing to see if his numbers come up to a shootable number, or skip tonight. If you stall, your shot tomorrow is 12 hours after when you do shoot. Can your schedule do that?

He has earned a dose reduction to 1.5 units.

 

PS this is not a 911, we save that for medical emergencies. Use the ? Prefix instead.

 

even with food hes now at 74

 

ah, thank you. Sorry!

 

How long after food? Was it low carb?

 

Yes, low carb. 15 min after eating

 

It takes 20-30 minutes after eating for the ca4bs to show up in the blood stream. Test again then.

 

After 30 min he's up to 99 with the food in his system. I'm going to skip tonight since I failed to not feed him and I don't really know what he's doing. Will shoot tomorrow morning at a decreased dose of 1.5. I'm so glad he's going down, but man this is stressful!

 

It gets easier with experience and having experienced members on here to guide you through it. The experienced members on here are just fabulous!!

 

So true. We would never have gotten this far without this forum. Seriously. Zephyr is so lucky to have everyone on here, and so is my sanity!

 

You might want to add in your SS column what you did at shot time and what Siam Cat mom and Wendy & Neko recommended so you will know for next time.

 

Good call.,sleep well tonight. And good data for the next time you see a lower than expected preshot value.

 

Thanks again everyone!
