Good morning!

A blue start!
Hope she can stay put!

Wishing all a wonderful day!

 

[Gabrielle17]

I think Cooper and Mikan are colluding to be in the same color range each day!

Stay blue, little Mikan!

 

[allicatmeow]

Wow nice AMPS!! Go Mikan!!!!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Stay blue, little Mikan!

Hahaha, they must be texting and coordinating!
Mikan's becoming quite a fashion monster, trying out all ranges of colors!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Wow nice AMPS!! Go Mikan!!!!

Thanks Alli!
Never know where she heads but so far, so good!
Hope she can have a "SAFELY" active cycle, for a change

 

[Staci & Ivy]

Go Mikan ! Have a great day, Kit

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Go Mikan ! Have a great day, Kit

Thanks Staci. Hope Ivy's feeling better

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Oh my.
Totally unexpected 33 at +3.5. This is despite feeding her with 1tsp 13%MC at +2 in hope to curve down the decline.
Triple checked. Rats. Cats.
I'll have to take a reduction this PM.

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

Woah, Mikan, what a drop!

I hope you're able to get her up to safer numbers, and that her bounce is quick and not as high.

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Woah, Mikan, what a drop!

I hope you're able to get her up to safer numbers, and that her bounce is quick and not as high.

She came back up to 61 30min after eating 15% food.
I'm pretty sure that an ugly bounce is coming our way Well, for now, though I just want to keep her safe and sound!

 

[Jack & Mopem'sMom]

Oh Mikan, what are you doing with that 33?!?!?! Give mom a break, and steady on in the dark green.
Hope she doesn't bounce too badly

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Thanks Christine!
I nearly stopped breathing when I saw the number. Tested twice more just to make sure.
Thankfully, she is responding to the 15% food. I'm sure she'll bounce high into the sky, ugh! Not looking forward to that!
But this is the game we play Hopefully, she'll take the reduction well!

 

[allicatmeow]

Mikan!!! Slow down!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

back down a bit at +5 and I have to go! DH will feed her at +6. I'll be back shortly after +7.
This is making me super anxious!

 

[Deb and Sylvester]

Mikan, wth are you going??!

Behave young lady!!

Sending you and from Sly!​

 

[allicatmeow]

Mikan, you're supposed to surf, not yo-yo!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Mikan, wth are you going??!

Behave young lady!!

Sending you and from Sly!​

Thanks Deb!
My bungee jumping girl
Relieved to see her holding down in the dark green at +7.
The trend has always been that she climbs back up from here. So I'm bracing myself for a big bounce
Mikan sends her back to Sly!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Mikan, you're supposed to surf, not yo-yo!

She has too much fun with yo-yo!
At least for now, she's safe and I can let a sigh of relief out

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

Woah, that's a nice green PMPS!

 

[allicatmeow]

WOW MIKAN!!!!

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Woah, that's a nice green PMPS!

Nice, but a bit scary!
I did shoot the planned amount (2.5U) hoping that it will not lead to another dive
She had a food bump at +1 but got down to where she was at +2.
PJ party, maybe

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

WOW MIKAN!!!!

She is on the MOVE!
Hope I can keep her in the good place this evening and not cause a HUGE bounce tomorrow

Keeping on that yo-yo tonight it seems! Calm down Mikan, mama needs some sleep.

 

[Deb and Sylvester]

Stay put Mikan!!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Hi Kit, I missed all the action today, She sure is full of surprises, Good luck with the reduction , Glad she didn't bounce high tonight, I hope she can stay in dark greens tonight and no big bounce tomorrow morning ,do you hear me Mikan
I hope Mikan behaves tonight

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Stay put Mikan!!

Thanks Deb.
It's like she's playing with fire
Pumping some HC to keep her up. Hope she responds!

She's decided to run down like a mad cat
Hopefully, HC foods will help her stay put!

Oh crap just saw that , stop it now Mikan , get that cute butt of yours up there
Check back later

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

She's making me nervous!
Hope she gets stabilized soon!

 

[Angela & Cleo]

if you have anything ultra higher carb, 20%+, I would feed it. It's only +3ish and she already earned a reduction. No more showing off Mikan .

@Angela & Cleo, Do you think I should take a reduction tomorrow? Or is this lowness being influenced by the larger depot from the previous dose?
I would hate to take a back to back reduction. Your thoughts on this are very much appreciated!

 

[Angela & Cleo]

With TR we don’t generally do back to back reductions. The previous depot is in play. I would feed higher carbs if needed to prevent another under 50 bg and give the depot a couple of cycles to readjust. Back to back reductions are rarely successful. I think we both learned this . The exception is if the BG falls under 40. Then definitely reduce again.
Can you monitor closely and feed to prevent another drop?

Let's see what @tiffmaxee and @Bandit's Mom say when they pop in later.

Thank you Angela! So helpful! I really really appreciate your recommendations/suggestions!
I just fed her higher carb food hoping that it'll stop this reduction-threatening trend.
She is getting fuller so I have to be careful not to overfeed her. Hopefully, this will up her BG to the point of the safety. I'll test her in 10 min or so now.

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

@Angela & Cleo
64 +4.5 (AT2 91). That awful looking Lil Grillers (supposed to be 40%) did help. She only licked some, but this may be a good thing to have around.
Will test her in 30min again.

 

[Angela & Cleo]

I just let out a sign of relief with this reading .
Hoping she sits right here for the rest of the cycle

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Looks like she really wanted that reduction! Angela is right about a drop into the 30s being an immediate reduction - even if it is a back-to-back one.

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

Thanks Ang! She dropped slightly for +5. Gave her a bit more of the gravy. Will test her in 30 again.

She was for sure pushing!
Hopefully she'll get steady now and give me a chance to help her adjust to the dose that was just reduced this PM.

 

[Mikanmama (Mikan GA)]

65 (107 AT2) at +5.5. Phew.

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Just checked in, Jesus , come up Mikan , it's late and your mama is tired.
You have to be exhausted Kit.

 

[Fistuk & Shelly]

WOW you've had quite a day. I'm sorry I missed the action, was in a marathon of Fistuk's action.

Hopefully you managed to squeeze rest in between. those meadow green are a stress. Nice to see Milan's back in the higher mountain green

Thanks Shelly!
We had quite a day, too exciting and dramatic
Now she is back bouncing high up! Not terribly happy about this, but at least she's safe. For now Hope you and Fistuk have a great day today!

 

[Staci & Ivy]

Whoa Kit, I missed all the action (with Ivy’s own no eating drama). I’m sorry you had such a scary and stressful day. I’m hoping Mikan is much less interested in both ends of the Bg spectrum today. Calm surfing little man. Please!!!! You did incredible with handling all of this and that team of support was incredible!

Yes, people here are incredible and phenomenal! I don't know what I've have done without them
Hope Ivy is feeling better, out of the sedation aftermath and back to her usual self!
