12-18 Little Man AMPS 351/+2 277/PMPS 127/+2 91/+4 93

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Well @Bandit's Mom I'd say it's a bounce as predicted. But..... we all know he is a great diver so we wont know till +2. Hoping it's not a huge dive since I'm working this am!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Even if he dives, he may nadir in blue, so he should be okay. You can get a +2 before you leave?

Yes I can get the +2 and leave out food should be home by around +5.5....I hope

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

So about a 20% drop...bigger bit he is definitely bouncing.

As fast as he clears we may have another active night

Off to work

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Well he opted for the slow drop...255 at 5.5

Just wants to keep me guessing

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Lower blue preshot def gonna see some green tonight!

 

[tiffmaxee]

Of course. This time it’s good he saved potential drama for night since you worked today.

Agreed!

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

So not a bad drop.

Should I get a +3 or +4? Just gave him a little lc

 

[tiffmaxee]

What do you think?

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

What do you think?

I'm thinking the nervous side of me wants the +3 to be safe...but the part of me that's starting to relax at these lower numbers says it can wait to +4...

I know doesnt answer your question. Gut says +3

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Till you are totally comfortable in green, hourly tests when he hits green is good.

 

[FrostD]

Ah just bring nice to you while at work...then making sure you don't get any sleep. Cats!

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

So i went with gut... he is flat same as +2 91...so now I'm thinking no food bump see where he heads...yes?

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Right!?

 

[FrostD]

Flat +2 to +3 is good. I don't think he's going to go too low tonight (knock on wood), so he could always have a little snack if he wants it and it would make you feel better.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Especially when green early in the cycle hourly tests are good. That way you can guide with food if necessary. Trust your gut. It seems to be serving you well.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Looking like a repeat of the 12/9 cycle. You'll probably be done by +4.

I'm itching to ask you to increase, but that PFS disrupted the cycle count, so I will be patient!

I knew you were just itching for it Bhooma LOL

Frankly I'm getting close to knowing it's time too...as scary as it seems and I'd definitely want to do it when I can be home more a couple days in a row but I know it needs to be done...

 

[tiffmaxee]

You can increase tomorrow night though. Just saying.

I am in agreement melissa the flat two hours in a row makes me think we are about done for the night.

Especially when green early in the cycle hourly tests are good. That way you can guide with food if necessary. Trust your gut. It seems to be serving you well.

Thankyou! I'm trying real hard to be mindful and not fearful!

He is so hyper tonight...running around playing in a paper sack...and attacking maddie (which she still doesnt like LOL)

 

[tiffmaxee]

Maybe he will surf green then.

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

I probably should. I am starting a new pen tomorrow though too can that affect numbers I've seen other ppl say it does.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

The only reason I hesitate to push for an increase is because his numbers are not too bad after a skip and a PFS. He saw 68 on the second cycle after the skip and just as I was waiting for 8-10 cycles after the skip for the depot to rebuild, the PFS happened. And he's seeing green on consecutive days after that.

He probably does need an increase and it may not be for very long.

Starting a new pen will not affect numbers unless the old one is bad - which it doesn't seem to be. Right, @tiffmaxee ?

 

[tiffmaxee]

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the insulin. I’d see how tomorrow goes before making any decision on an increase. If he goes up early tonight and is high tomorrow I think you can increase tomorrow night or Monday. If there’s lots of blue and green don’t. That’s what I think.

93...flat bedtime early woohoo!
