Well he usually starts to tank without food from what I can see in the past. Last time I stalled in the morning for an hour, his numbers kept going down. I’d rather not bc that will mess me up in the morning. I’m on a very tight schedule with my cats and having to get to my moms house for her 4 cats and then get to work by 9.
So on 8/11, he was 152 at 6:20 am, 128 at 7 then 110 at 7:30 and then 114 at 8. He had been on 3.75 and I had given him 2 tsp of 3% and the values still kept falling. I will retest again but I have already given him a tsp of 6% unfortunately bc he was acting ravenous so this value maybe food induced if it’s higher.
124 but this is with a tsp of 6% 20 minutes ago
So I went ahead and gave 3 units and fed 6% . I gave the insulin 45 minutes late. I am at moms at the moment so I’ll check in 15 minutes. I’ll probably have to give him some MC for the rest of the night.
Yes I realize that we are focusing on the nadirs for a reduction but it seems that the 3.75 has on numerous occasions dropped him such that I have had to feed the curve to keep him afloat. All those lower greens in the ss have been fed numbers with either MC or MC/LC mixed together. I am saying somewhere between 3.5-3.75 like 3.6 eg so I can see if he can keep himself afloat without me feeding the curve and then if he does so after 6 cycles creep back up to 3.75. Is it not correct to think this way? It’s obvious that after clearing g bounces at 3.5, he starts to stay yellow and pink but then with 3.75 he doesn’t always stay afloat after a bit. I lowered the dose tonight, maybe too much, but I wasn’t sure which way he was going and I have to work in the morning so I couldn’t stay up through +7. We will see what happens overnight and I know, I’ll probably pay for it once again!
