That is a very good idea. How are you even functioning?

With the help of lots of coffee :coffee::coffee::coffee:

He’s due for a test in 20mins.. though, I don’t think he can wait, he’s currently yelling at me and flopping around in a tantrum way, lol ... Might do one now and feed him. I’ll keep you all posted on his day and think about skipping this PM closer to +9 ish if he continues with this trend.
 
If you want to bring him up at night so you can sleep you could add a few drops of honey. When I went for hc I sometimes gave 25%.

Ya, that boosts him quite a bit.. and he loves the syrup, plate is clean when he’s done. Seems to work just as long as the HC but he ends up with higher numbers - instead of just keeping flat

ETa: On the nights I’m not sure what he’s doing it would be good to add syrup to make sure he’s safe
 
59 @ +7

I don’t know what to feed anymore. My gut says HC since he’s surfing on HC. Before I would throw in some MC or LC in between to see how he does. He use to have late nadirs but what’s a nadir anymore ;)
 
I personally am a fan of BCS/skip vs feeding all this HC, while I can understand the HC approach I always found it.... oxymoronic? Counter to what we're trying to do? The word isn't coming to me but I think you catch my drift.

I agree. I was having this exact convo with my
Dad today for fun.. he had a diabetic dog (not the same as cats obv. but still easier to talk with about it when a pet is involved .. he himself is also diabetic.. but pill/diet controlled)..

Anywho.. I was saying exactly that.. if I need to keep him up all day with McDonalds (my new fav word for HC) it would appear he doesn’t need as much insulin or the depot is adding more than he currently needs. The skips/draining the depot seemed to work well with him the last time. HC approach works well but if it’s for a full day, day and a half it does seem a bit oxymoronic. I think this is what Bhooma and Elise are hinting at also.. or roughly (don’t want to put word in their mouth)

Thinking. Be right back.

You have fed hc through +7. Will you be able to stay up again tonight? If not skip. Perhaps then you won’t need to feed so much hc tonight and going forward. If you are fine staying up you can shoot. What do you think?

Yes. HC up until +7, LC at +9.5

I think I’ll shoot (o_O) Tomorrows Friday on a long weekend :) I can get sleep then. This is tough.

Was thinking if he keeps it up tomorrow I might do a skip.. but it won’t make too much sense to take a skip tomorrow if he keeps it up since the depot will have adjusted to the new dose or close .. right? In that case, maybe a skip tonight might work things out for tomorrow and following days
 
I feel like I’m being pulled in two directions… by me..

I’m going to skip tonight. I was just standing here with my eyes closed thinking/deciding and it would appear I could maybe sleep standing up… hopefully he doesn’t go too high and we can even out with this tomorrow AM

Feeding LC and going to get pizza because I think I deserve it - and I don’t wAnt to make dinner! Lol

Lol! Ruby is the one I have to watch out for Pizza! She will steal bites if you’re not watching! She looooves pizza.
Actually she’s a weird one.. she is also attracted to sour gummies, watermelon and strawberries - I don’t let her have them but she would be all over it if I did.
