We’re increasing his dose to 1 unit today

He dropped 67 from +2 to +3, so we will test at +3.5.Green! Lovely! We don’t want him to drop too far so I would test in 30 if he had a big drop last hour.
No I wouldn’t feed as he has just had food 1/2 hour ago. Hopefully he will surf for a while.92 @+3.5. Not feed?
It will be good if he doesnt drop any lower…He’s slowed right down though. Hopefully he will surf for an hour or two. Progress!


Hi Jill, You (and your family) are doing an AMAZING job with Merlin!I will probably be posting my every move tonight, if anyone will be around. I find green scary at night. PTSD big time from the overdose. But I know it is ultimately the goal now.
Thank you, Angela. I have printed out your Green fear guidance and am taping it to my wall of wisdom from the fdmb!Hi Jill, You (and your family) are doing an AMAZING job with Merlin!
If this helps for a cycle with greens, I used to find greens scary too, so I decided that I wouldn't be afraid of greens 85-99, I'd be cautiously worried about 70-84 and I'd allow myself to freak out and be scared and look for tons of guidance/hand holding below 69.
Another point to help with the "fear" is (1) when did the greens happen in the cycle, ie +X, before/after nadir; and (2) how fast Cleo went to greens AND accounting for meter variance.
This is just some of the things I've learned from FDMB sticky's and ALL THE BEAUTIFUL Volunteers here <3
Thank you, Bron. I feel good about this cycle. Such a rapid reaction to so little increase! Good night.I’m heading to bed Jill. It’s late here. See you tomorrow. I think there was good progress today.
