Well I’m exhausted. Last night was another shoot low to go much lower cycle, she had been doing all this gentle stuff recently, I thought the cycle may play out differently (which is why I didn’t carb load PMPS, just to give her a chance to see if the pattern could carry) but it didn’t. It was a struggle keeping her numbers up last night. “Too much insulin, hooman” she said. Okay. Back to 1.25, hopefully the 1.50 gave her cycles a kick in the pants to stay a bit lower and she can work with 1.25 now! Not sure if it works like that, but I don’t think she’d have had that string of greens without it. Perhaps I should have tried an increase in between 1.25 and 1.5.
Carb loaded the 79 AMPS with 2 tsp gravy and 3 drops of Karo, gave me a 117 +1, much better.
I feel like when I give her carbs (in addition to sustaining food) to work from a higher number (like today) it’s very short acting, as in she just wants to go wherever she has in mind to go, let’s pretend it’s 55, and if she’s dropping like that, feeding, HC, karo, it’s like throwing a speed bump in the road, it trips her up, but she’s determined to go down anyway, it doesn’t seem like the carbs turn that would be 55 into a 75, it feels like it gives a fake high number and she slams right back down to that 55 as soon as she can.
I just don’t see it slow her down any, on a gentle cycle, yes, it really works to the point of put the brakes on, but on these types of cycles, not one bit. Almost all of her cycles in good numbers have been these types of cycles. I don’t know why she had that string of gentle and flat cycles, but the greens seemed to scare them off. Hope the gentle cycles come back and make friends with the green numbers.

I think she’s figured out which food I hide the b12 in. She eats it, but takes her time, I offered her new food sans b12 and she chowed down. I think I’m going to have to get the injectable. I don’t think she would have gone that low if she was doing more eating and less nibbling.
