I’d give him two tsp of a MC food. You might want to test 30 mins after he finishes eating to be sure the drop is slowing down or stopping.
Ok. Will do. I'll be back soon.I’d give him two tsp of a MC food. You might want to test 30 mins after he finishes eating to be sure the drop is slowing down or stopping.
Yay! Lagoon friends. Busy night for us!Asia & Ovie are lagoon buddies tonight!Let's keep them away from the sharks!
I’ll be watching,Ok. Will do. I'll be back soon.
Yep I do. How much longer do I have you for? Will the +3.5 be about bedtime for you?Yes. That will give him a little time between feedings and will, hopefully, let him surf. Do you feel ok waiting an hour to test?
You're the best.I’ll wait for the +3.5 before I go to bed.
You're the best.![]()
Amazing friends and support hereAnd I'll be up with you, in cheerleader/moral support capacity. Hopefully Ovie & Asia will surf merrily along!![]()
I still think so. You have to sleep sometime.If I really was, I’d stay up
I really remember what it was like the first few times dealing with low numbers and how great it was to have support.
I’ll be sure and leave you some guidance after the +3.5.
why not?! I've got the chocolateIt sounds like we are having a slumber party Stacy and Christie.![]()
Haha me too. Coffee anyone? I could do coffee anytime... and still fall asleep lol.why not?! I've got the chocolate, I might need to swap my tea for something stronger!
Yes...he’s doing great but there’s still a lot of cycle left so I’d give 1-2 tsp of LC.+3.5:76 LC snack again right?
I think you covered it. Thank youHere are some thoughts to help you:
Any questions before I go?
- I would not stop testing for the night until you get two tests, best about an hour apart, that show him rising with no food for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. You might be able to space the tests out and grab a nap.
- If he drops below 50 before or around nadir, give him a tsp or two of HC gravy and retest 30 mins after he finishes. If he’s still low, then give him a tsp of the HC food, retest in 30. You want to alternate gravy and food until he’s up safely so that he doesn’t get too full.
- If he drops, once you get him completely stopped and rising anything above 50, then switch to LC.
- If he drops below 50 later in the cycle after nadir, try and give a higher LC or a lower MC; you want him to surf and not compromise his duration. Too much HC after nadir can put the brakes on his duration but, you want to keep him safe so if he doesn’t come up above 50 with the higher LC or lower MC, up the ante a bit.
Thank you @Stacy & Asia and @Christie & Maverick for staying with Katie.
I'll be zombie status tomorrow.who needs sleep anyway?![]()

Staying awake isn't my problem, functioning tomorrow will be! Busy day and several appointments, won't be able to catch a nap until after 4:00pm...if I'm so lucky.I love Super Mario. Unfortunately, our cartridge won't save my progress.. sooooo annoying lol. So everyday I start over.

That is exactly what it is.Groundhog Day, Mario?![]()
I'm not, I hate the taste of coffee. I've had Starbucks a few times when I'm desperate to stay alert and it is just not pretty. It makes me wired and jittery. I will probably need one tomorrow.Oh no! Are you a coffee person? You'll need a pot lol.

Which Super Mario are you playing? There's only like 300 different versions of that game out. I remember being boss at the original when I was a kid and they rereleased the OG Mario for the 25th anniversary and I played that version for the first time as an adult. It was impossibly hard somehow. They've gotten much easier as time goes on, but the first version is insanity.![]()
Grab a cat nap. Eyeyeye! Lots of coffee for you tomorrow lol!Test time yet?I wanted to check in one more time, then I'll try myself, for a cat nap, won't be back for a few hours. Then my morning starts 3 hours after that
