Hey Kris! Thanks! do you think it's a good idea to do his curve tomorrow after all this or wait until the weekend? Ok, if his numbers are around his usual AMPS, should I stick with the skinny 2? I'm already anticipating not having many people awake then.
Will you be home tomorrow? If you are and he's at his usual AMPS you can try the skinny 2 u again. You'd have to monitor though. Unfortunately, the only way to better numbers is along this nerve wracking path.
Yes, I'll be home- no work due to school closing! Because of this i figured it'd be a good day to finally do his curve, but I'm not sure how 'accurate' it would be due to this excitement!
Very welcome
You could start the curve tomorrow and if he stays high and flat from bouncing just quit the frequent testing.
Ok, I'll plan to do that then.
He's surfing (staying level-ish) in good green. Try not feeding and retest at 7.5. He should be getting past nadir and you want to see if he's in a holding pattern he can sustain without food.
Ok, will do the 7.5 and post then.
Lol I am definitely exhausted! Seeing as I have to be up in less than 5 hours to do his AMPS and shot
Looks good. I think you can go to bed. That's what I'll do too.
Thank you everyone! I can not thank you enough for your support and encouragement. I know it wasn't quite at the scary 50, but 57 is the lowest he's ever been. Lots of hugs and well wishes!Looks good. I think you can go to bed. That's what I'll do too.
I'm on the west coast (seattle). Good job tonight, and sweet dreams!
It was a fat. I'll stick to the skinny then! Just hate how it seems that the skinny isn't dropping his as low so it's constantly varied at this point between the two.I'm here
It's up to you if you're up for some more possible excitement! Was it a fat or regular 2u that gave the nice greens last night? You might want to skinny it up a little even though you're home. They can be a little more sensitive to insulin after a nice low like that.
How much longer are you awake? Thank you, thank you again, by the wayIf it was a fat you can try a regular 2u since you're home. Now that you've weathered your first low you know what to do if he dives down again
It definitely looks like right around 2u is his sweet spot - for now!
I'll be sure to keep an eye here just in case.
I'm definitely still a bit thrown off myself. Great, I'll let you know what my +2 comes back withYou're very welcome! I try to help where I can to give back for all the help I receive here myself
I'm normally up until 6am eastern time, but with the time change I'm having trouble getting to sleep before 7. I hate daylight savings time
You're up already? It's a snow day. Sleep in. Wait then why am I up? Lol
Lol, his normal routine starts at 4
yes, why are you up?!
Thank you. I think my initial reaction to the 57 was just ' how quickly would he drop to the 50 and I'd be panicking?'
My day starts at 5am. My partner and I are both teachers and she has to leave the house at 6. I automatically wake up by 5.... I wish I could convince my brain to sleep in.Lol, his normal routine starts at 4
I hear you. I would have fed at 57 just to be sure. The numbers in the 60's were nice and safe.
) but I'm excited to see how your day goes!
Thanks Rachel! Hope everything is a bit better with Elektra.Wow what excitement! I missed it all...sorry I wasn't around, but Elektra is having a flareup so I spent time chasing her around to give her some bupe and then went to bed....only way to calm my nerves when that happens.
I'm excited to see those greens and know you're glad to have a snow day so you can keep an eye on things! I'm heading to work in a few (no extra sleep for me!
Not too bad! Would I be correct in thinking that you're getting a bit more comfortable with the ear pricking?
Sssh, don't let him hear you!Not too bad! Would I be correct in thinking that you're getting a bit more comfortable with the ear pricking?
Bounce!
::Sigh::Bounce!
what does that mean for his pm shot dose?
Absolutely nothing. Keep the same dose. You judge a dose by how low they went when not bouncing. If there was no bouncing happening then you judge a dose by looking at both PSs and nadir. You also have to go by "feel" sometimes and that takes time to develop.::Sigh::
Watch what this dose does when bouncing abates and be prepared to intervene with food and/or a dose reduction. As for how long the bouncing will last - only Pita knows ...
Oh goodness! Lol thanks. I'm sure I'll need more reiteration later.
On that note, how's Teasel doing?!Watch what this dose does when bouncing abates and be prepared to intervene with food and/or a dose reduction. As for how long the bouncing will last - only Pita knows ...
Did he technically bounce last night or just get very low?
Congrats on making it through your first lime green!
