TYLER'S JOURNEY #4

I think 'cause it's a night cycle I'd stick to the 0.25u for tonight. Next time he does the lower BG in the morning, I think you might be able to try 0.5 skinny. He didn't do as much with the 0.25u from that lower BG this morning as I thought he might. Let's see what he does tonight.

Ok , just had to feed him asap because of people shooting off fireworks blocks away. It just let up for awhile and thank God Tyler scoffed it down quickly for a change.
Ok if tomorrow morning I get another low BG I'm still going to check with you before I go ahead with the Skinny 0.5. I'd feel better if you saw what it was before me going ahead with it ok? Let's see what tonight brings @MrWorfMen's Mom

@MrWorfMen's Mom just tested Tyler at +4 it's 91
Just to go over it
THURSDAY 7-4-19
PMPS - 146 gave 0.25 units
+2 - 143 fed him FF
+4 - 91 fed him FF and some Dr Elseys Clean Protein Dry going to re test in 30 minutes which would be at 2:30 am to tell you the truth when I saw 91 I got weak in the legs lol , was a big drop don't you think so?
Re tested at 2:30 am 134 No Food Given will re test
+5.75 - 141 @MrWorfMen's Mom

That is not unexpected. Tyler might be bouncing a bit from that low last night. As long as you can monitor him I'd try the 0.75u skinny.
 
That's likely a food bump now. I think you can hold off till +5. That should be getting to the end of nadir by his usual habits.
 
Same here. Expecting thunder storms this evening. That is supposed to cool things off a bit here for the weekend but just to tolerable levels. YEAH!

He's surfing so I don't think you need to test again unless you want to grab a test around +9 or +10 to fill in some white space on the SS.
 
@MrWorfMen's Mom Tested Tyler
FRIDAY 7-5-19
PMPS - 168 looks like he stayed the same since the +8.5 this afternoon
What do you think I should shoot, the 0.75 skinny again or 0.5 skinny since it's night time

Try 05u on the line and see what he does. I don't think I'd go with the 0.75u given how low he went today or last night on even less insulin at a slightly lower BG.
 
I'd try a fat 0.5u although I think a skinny 0.75u might be ok as long as you monitor him. Tyler seems to be surfing nicely overall but I loved those greens showing up the last day and a half and would like to see more of them.

Ok I'm going with the 0.75 skinny, it's been a little tough eye balling it, now look underneath this post, do you see the avatar of Tyler , no name under it. That's what I can't get rid of , it happened last night when I was trying to remember how to post a picture of him . I was hitting the icons above where it starts with the letter B then there's an I, then a U @MrWorfMen's Mom
 
No clue about the picture. It's not showing up for me. Your avatar is showing up exactly where and how it should, over your user name for me. :confused:
 
He's doing fine and surfing nicely in blues lately but I wish he wouldn't drop off so quickly. Can you back up that +2 feeding by an hour (i.e feed him again at +1 to see if that pushes out the drop at all?

Ok just so I understand it correctly , feed him a little bit @+1 so he does not drop that much at +2? Do I also have to test him at +1 I will start doing that tonight @MrWorfMen's Mom

No need to test at +1 just feed him to see if that slows down the drop at all. I'd test again at +3 because at +2 I'd expect less of a drop due to the food.
 
@MrWorfMen's Mom ok
SATURDAY 7-6-19
PMPS - 143
What do you think, I was looking at FRIDAY nights BG which was 146 and we shot 0.25 and that's when at +4 he went down to 91 but then again on FRIDAY his AMPS was 133 and we shot 0.25 u and he stayed surfing , 134 then 138 , then 158
No ryme or reason lol
So what do you think we should shoot, and whatever we decide should I still feed at +1 to slow his drop and test at +3 going to shoot at 10:00 pm @MrWorfMen's Mom
 
I think I'd try the 0.25u again just so you don't have to hold a PJ party because these guys often go lower at night than during the day. You could try a skinny 0.5u but Tyler may drop lower than ideal and personally I'd be more inclined to try that on a day cycle. You are already staying up till the wee hours of the morning with Tyler. Don't need to extend that monitoring.

I agree lol, I'll go with the 0.25 u for tonight. Yes the day time would be better @MrWorfMen's Mom
 
I have to go pick up the young man who cuts my lawn. Will be back around 10am if you need me but I think you know what to do. Will check in when I get back.

@MrWorfMen's Mom Tested Tyler
SUNDAY 7-7-19
AMPS - 181 I'm going to shoot around 10:00 am
I hope I know what to do lol. skinny 0.75 ? Then I would do what we talked about
Feed Tyler at +1 to see if that slows down his drop, then check at +3
How does that sound @MrWorfMen's Mom

@MrWorfMen's Mom Well so much for feeding Tyler @+1 to see if he wouldn't drop off so quickly, I fell asleep, I'm so mad , I really wanted to see if it worked. I should have set my alarm. You know what happens when you say to yourself I'll just close my eyes for a minute. I will definitely do it tomorrow morning depending on his AMPS, so I tested him
SUNDAY 7-7-19
AMPS - 181
+2 - 97 fed him his FF @MrWorfMen's Mom
At least we have something to compare it with when I do do the +1 feeding. On 7-5-19 and today 7-7-19 he dropped fast both times in the AMPS. They were both giving skinny 0.75 units. I just remembered I can't do it tomorrow morning , I have a doctor's appointment and I have to leave here at 11:30 am. Probably won't even be back home for his +2 test which would be at noon. So I want to be careful how much I shoot tomorrow morning.

That's fine. We've all done the "just close my eyes" thing! You can be conservative with dosing tomorrow given you will be out for his usual early drop. :)

Yes I will be conservative tomorrow morning, that's why I'm going to check with you first before I shoot, so I'm not sitting in the doctor's office worrying lol. So this morning @+2 was a big early drop again. This might be a dumb question but what number are we looking for @+2 ? @MrWorfMen's Mom
