6/15 - Xander | AMPS 290

His +2 was >20% lower than his PS, so I officially get to try the higher LC blend on what looks like an active cycle!

I mixed a 2% and a 12% for a net 7% food. I usually give him 0.4 oz (2 tsp) at a time for PS, +1, +2, and +3 but I wasn't sure how well that tiny amount would work for this, so I gave him an extra tsp overall (still equal parts of each). Genuinely excited to see if this helps.

The other day I created a tab on my (personal) spreadsheet where I can specifically track when I fed a hypo and then his BG at several increments after that (+15, +20, +30, +45 etc) so that I can better see patterns in isolation from his main sheet. I'm putting this on there too to see where he starts and what happens.

ETA: He still went downward after +2, but the snack definitely seemed to steady him and make it less drastic. I just gave him his normal 2% at +3 to see if this will let him continue downward but not dive. If he still dives, next time I'll try doing the blend for the +3 as well.

Thanks, Staci! He definitely had a controlled descent today. Saw some green in spots (but not right on the hour mark to put it on the sheet. I did include one so we know though). No idea if it was the food or if he'd've had an okay day anyway, but his style is usually to nosedive, so I'm hoping it made the difference.
