Hello dears.

Please, I invite you to take a look to Markies spread sheet. He usually bounces when we wake up, this means at PMPS. Yes, this is our life nowadays.

It happens that we go to bed arround 4 or five that is usually his shot time. I try to change it but some times things happens and I arrive home late and I end changing again schedule and all goes to the beggining again.

And during night he doesn´t eat and is difficult for me to wake up to feed him. He wakes me up usually but seems not enough only one meal during the whole night cycle and then he bounces.

Today he showed a blue number (I was able to test and feed some carbs to avoind more drop) but he did bounce. Than number seemed too low for him or I don´t know. I still feel this dose is too much for him. I feel Markeis keeps bouncing over and over. And on the other hand my life is difficult to accomodate also to this dose, or the other way round, this dose is difficult to accomodate to my life. May be is Markeis correct dose but If Im not able to feed as needed, or shoot exactly every 12 hours consistently I don´t know, Ive been wondering if it wouldn´t be better to give a lower dose that can help not create those bouncings and may be have a more flat curve hoping with yellows and may be not blues.

Help please.

I think the dose is too low for him. More insulin will also help him bounce not quite as high. Even if you were following SLGS instead of TR, you would increase because you haven't seen a nadir below 150 on this dose. Today the depot would have been full after you skip a few days ago, and he only got to a middle blue. Now, that might be acceptable for you given what is happening in your life now.:bighug:

I would not lower the dose just to make him high and flat. Are you able to test him for ketones?
 
yes he has been negative for ketones I have to write that down I forgot.

But if he starts with a pink or red number and he gets to a green nadir he will always keep bouncing.. that´s what I don´t understand.

Its the food issue what is failing?

Sorry, Im affraid Im not catching the big drops..
Silvi, you have a lot on your hands right now, so don't be too hard on yourself. I agree Markies could use a little more juice, but since you can't monitor him at night right now, it might be better to wait a while to increase.

I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.
 
Long day today, I am back, I had to change Markies schedule since I was out very long.
I decided also to increase dose to 2 units. He was on 1.75. Hope I did right.

Wish me luck.

Today Im drained. My mom takes all my energy. I will go to bed early I think, may be I will update ss tomorrow. PMPS was arround 400s.

(((Silvi)))) Thinking of you and Markies and sending you my best. You can only do what you can do with Markies. There's nothing wrong with him bouncing. Flat is ideal, but you can't achieve flat cycles when you're in a family crisis, so just hang in there. Praying for your mom.

Big hugs! julie
