I believe he runs a little higher at night because I feed him larger portions of food maybe. He gets more carbs at night because I’m not sure what will happen while I’m asleep since his nadir is later and I’m not reliable about waking up.

Nice to see some blue today.

 

[Max & Lori]

He’s dropping quickly again today. Hope someone is there if I need help! @Bandit's Mom @tiffmaxee @FrostD

 

[Max & Lori]

I've been feeding LC every hour all morning again.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

That is quite a drop. I would let him earn a reduction. Does he get a meal at +4?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I've been feeding LC every hour all morning again.

Just saw this. Ignore my question.

Let's see the +5.

 

[Max & Lori]

Okay Bhooma, I'm glad your here!

 

[Max & Lori]

@Bandit's Mom he is 68.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Congrats on the reduction. Feed LC mixed with a little MC and test in an hour?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Congrats!

 

[Max & Lori]

@Bandit's Mom its only been 40 minutes and it’s 59. I checked him because he was hiding under the bed.

OK. Feed a little MC or even HC. He has earned a reduction and has nothing left to prove.

 

[Max & Lori]

How much syrup would that be? I don't have any HC that he can eat.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Do you have MC? You can feed that.

Or just add a few drops of syrup to LC.

 

[tiffmaxee]

He’s lower than you want but safe. A little karo or honey should help but keep checking every 15-20 as it might wear off quickly.

 

[FrostD]

Lovely! Might still be a bit of depot hanging around. Your call if you want to go 9 or 9.5 tonight...

If you need sleep may want a BCS, but we'll see where he is PMPS... probably a bounce

 

[Max & Lori]

@tiffmaxee @FrostD He came up to 62. What now?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

@tiffmaxee @FrostD He came up to 62. What now?

This is +7, right? He should start heading up from here. Will he eat a little more LC now?

 

[Max & Lori]

Yes this is +7. I didn't know you were still on Bhooma, I know it's late there. He is really full but I can try a little more LC.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Going to sign off now since it's close to midnight!

 

[Max & Lori]

Okay, thank you so much. I will keep checking until he comes up some more.

 

[Max & Lori]

@tiffmaxee @FrostD I could not get him to eat any more food as Bhooma suggested. I just rechecked and he is now 67. Just keep monitoring for a little longer? I won't be able to get him to eat anytime soon. He's asleep now.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Still around. Yes, just keep checking him. He should stay flat or slowly start heading up.

 

[tiffmaxee]

If he stays up for two hours without food it’s great.

 

[Max & Lori]

Dropped just a few points to 64. I did get him to eat a spoonful of LC.

Meter variance, Id give him an hour break.

Given how much he's hanging and needing food, I'd be tempted to go down to 9U

 

[Max & Lori]

Okay guys, he’s back up - 123, so we’re taking a nap. That was a 3 ring circus….Crazy, I also had two grandchildren here during all of that, ages 2 and 3.

 

[Max & Lori]

Thanks to everyone who helped us today!

 

[Max & Lori]

Max’s PMPS is in 1 hour so I may need some opinions about that and whether he needs a BCS. If I don’t do that I’m going to try 9 units. I really appreciate the support today. It’s getting a little easier and I’m handling it much better but I sure am glad y’all are here.

 

[FrostD]

This is a little tricky. He pretty much always bounces from these low numbers (never a guarantee though), so BCS may let him get too high - look at the 6U BCS you did when he was at 12U.

If you need the sleep, I'd go for a 6U BCS (so it's 2/3 dose). Obviously never a guarantee it'll get you a lot of sleep. But if it were me, I'd shoot the 9U and hopefully tamp down any bounce or hold onto these nice blues.

Okay, I’m kind of leaning towards the 9 units but I will see where he is in about 15 - 20 minutes to make up my mind for sure. I am tired though, but I am loving these low numbers and don’t want to mess him up. These little kids today were a handful lol.

 

[Max & Lori]

Oh well, he bounced….348. So definitely not doing BCS. I guess I will try the 9 units. @FrostD @tiffmaxee @Wendy&Neko

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Good catch and well done handling those numbers.

Thanks Wendy. I’m proud of myself lol. I’m learning and am handling these situations so much better thanks to you guys.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Good job today, Lori!
