Opie and the Learning Curve

I see he bounced hard and is in the red this morning. I think it may be a hard bounce because of the drop yesterday where he went to 64 at +3 …. But maybe it’s just the long run in greens (which was beautiful.) Maybe try that feeding every half hour thing that you said you did last night? I know he is high now, but I would still try getting a +2 today to head off any surprises (I’ve seen it happen.)

It is a mustard and ketchup start to the day, red and yellow. . . :confused: you mentioned the 64 yesterday but doesn't a bounce start pretty much right after that? I mean, would it finish off a nice cycle and then say, oh yeah. . . I did go low sometime this morning so maybe I should bounce about now? He dropped over 200 from AMPS to +3 this morning but yellow not green. Will that start a bounce as well? I am feeding little and often but this morning he gobbled a whole can of FF 1% in one sitting. I figured it was only 1% so maybe that will be ok. When he is in red he sometimes is ravenous.

No, bounces don’t start within a couple hours - when he shoots up quick that's loss of duration.

You know he might be starting a bounce at onset the following cycle.

If it was just loss of duration he should come back down the next cycle, but if he bounces on top of loss of duration the bounces can look even worse.

loss of duration means that the insulin is not working, like at the end of the day and not lasting the 12 hours? Could you explain more of what that is exactly? I should know this by now but somehow it isn't clicking today. . . .
 
Ya go Opie :D I had a feeling looking at his spreadsheet if he was going to have a green preshot! Hopefully he stays flat or has an active green cycle finger & paws crossed
