20 min later 44. Gave more HC
Does this constitute a reduction again? I will assume the depot from 3 units has depleted by now.
+20 min 39. Just rubbed some caro syrup on his gums
@ 2.5 up to 53. Praying he holds and starts to go up a little instead of dipping back down so mommy is no longer on edge.
+3 46. Guess more Caro syrup?
Yes to Karo and test in 20 minutes
Thanks! I did give a little more Caro and am going to test again in 10-15 min.
Thanks for tagging me Kyle. I was just getting ready to get off the Board, but I can hang around for a while before I must leave for an appointment.
Hi Suzanne, I will be around if you need to get off.
Congratulations on the reduction. I'm sorry it's been a scary way to earn a reduction.
+20 47. I'm going to give a little more caro. Already cancelled my am appt with a client since she is an hour away. Too scared to leave him today.
I gave him 17% food earlier. I will give him a little more. Just gave him another rub of Karo.
Good. I wish there was something in the 20s for carb percentages. It looks like he's holding pretty steady from the last test. I know you will keep up with the testing every 20 minutes until he's in the clear. You will have to test him until it's been two hours after any karo or high carb food and make sure that he is rising. As his numbers come up, you will be able to stretch out the time between tests from 20 to 30, etc.
Yes, will keep up the testing for sure. So far he had his regular meal of 2% at breakfast, snack of 5%, and a full can of 17% spread out between tests. As well as 3 Karo syrup gum rubs. Fingers crossed we come up the next test.
He’s certainly determined to stay low today. You’re doing well.
Oh no. Keep up the karo and testing.+20 min and he has gone down to 43
Just mixed some epigen 90 kibble with Karo and he's eating it+20 min and he has gone down to 43
+20 min and he has gone down to 43
The kibble is only 5% and I usually give that as little snacks through the day. I figured that was the easiest way to mix with the Karo to see if he would eat it. And of course he gobbled it down. will respond with new numbers soon.
Phew. Hopefully he will stay up once the carbs wear off!+20 and we finally have lift off. He came in at 64
I hope so. We'll see what happens getting close to PMPS as well. He has been taking his dives starting at PS which makes me a little scared to shoot when he is below 150 and I can see he has started to drop before the next dose. Hanging with it though. Maybe one day we will get steady greens to earn reductions, instead of craziness.
Yeah, I believe he has had enough food. If it's like the other night when this happened, all those carbs are going to rule the rest of this cycle and possibly the next. Hope he doesn't get back up to the high 300's again. Can't imagine those big swings are good for him.
Not so sure. @ 4.5 he was 86, now @ +5 he's gone down to 80. Fingers crossed he holds. I need a nap too. lol
86 and 80 is flat with meter variance. How long since the last HC/karo?
Approx 1.5 hours ago, or just over an hour. Hard to tell at this point.
If he stays up 2 hours after the last HC/karo meal, you are in the clear.
+6 87. This is the 2 hour window from last feeding with Karo. Think I'm good to slow testing or should I keep it up every 30-1hr?
Did one more test 30 min later and he is at 98 now. Going give him a little break and go check on jobs real quick. Finally at ease.
Yes very stressful and I’m glad The support is here to help get through it!great work Nathalie you handled it like a champ. I never had to deal with this with my boy, you have my sympathies it must be stressful! Hendrick took the gentle path, lowest I ever got was a 45.
also great work by the LLB team of course
He just had himself a nice little surf in green. He looks about and says, “What’s all the fuss about?” Yawns and goes back to sleep.
