Yes, he earns a reduction by dropping below 68 on the Alpha Trak.

I see you fed him. Was it high carb food? You'll want to test again in 20-30 minutes to make sure he comes up

Gave him Almo Nature, which is low carb.

Even if his BG goes back up to 300s, 400s at PMPS - still reduce. If so, by .25 or .50?

If his PMPS is over 300, you can give the 2.75U dose ONE more time and then tomorrow morning you would only give 2.5. We call that "Shooting through the bounce" to help give them a little extra help due to the bounce from going so low.

Ok. Still trying to understand the bounce better. BG is now 80. To confirm...

Scenario 1:

1) if his BG is between 80 and 300 at PMPS, then decrease to 2.5
2) tomorrow morning give 2.5 and continue that dose

Scenario 2:

1) if his BG is above 300 at PMPS tonight, shoot 2.75
2) drop to 2.5 tomorrow morning even if his BG is high

Purrfect!!

Bounces happen when 1. they drop too low, 2. they drop too fast, 3. they drop into numbers their body isn't used to anymore (or any combination of all 3). The liver releases stored sugars and hormones to bring the blood glucose back up. They "bounce" high. It can take up to 6 cycles (3 days) for those hormones to clear out of the body but usually, as the body gets more used to being in "good" numbers, the bounces won't last as long and they won't bounce as high. We call it "liver training school"
 
Hi. I just saw the 911. Since Chris helped you please remove the 911. That way if you nee$ help tonight you can put it back. I doubt that will happen. Most bounce. Congrats on the reduction.

Great explanation. I've heard it before, but sometimes it takes a few times to get it. Thank you!
 
Once you've had your question answered, please remove the "?" icon and update the subject line. Several of us scan the board looking for people who need help, and it's good to know when help has been received.

Good luck with the reduction.
