When I say this morning was completely a shock, I mean the antithesis to where her numbers have been. The argument with myself this morning was do I stick with 7% at +1? I did. Do I test at +1.5 just in case? I did. Do I go 15% or higher at +1.5? I did not. So we'll see where she is at +2, and hopefully the 13% is enough to keep her from a reduction. She's certainly excited for higher carb food.

I wish I were more able to get tests between +6 and +11 in the PM cycle, but even when I set alarms I'm more likely to sleep through them because I just die when I lay down to sleep.

Hi Alicia,
Mikan has been in the slump lately - I looked at our SS from last year and it was about this time she also had a slump - high numbers and less responsive to insulin. I'm starting to wonder if this is seasonal somehow? Or just my desperate wish to understand something not-understandable?
Anyhow, I hope our girls start shaping up soon and give us what we want, for once! :bighug:

I understand the desire to find something that makes it make sense. I decided to look at where Kit was last year, and her numbers were so much better and more consistent. They changed in December and we just haven't been able to get back on track, and it just kills me that I can't make it work the way I want.
I definitely didn't expect her to throw at me what she did this morning though. No idea where it came from. Momma might be in for a nap later though.
 
Oh man, she is on a deep diving mission today! I totally epathize with the desire/inability to get the later cycle numbers, I too just go into a coma when I go to bed at night. I never hear the alarms or turn them off in my sleep stupor. Sending big hugs and hope you get her figured out soon---and that you can grab a nap!! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

It's so weird to me that I sleep through them or turn them off because I'm such a light sleeper. Like her meowing at me wakes me up. Eric getting into bed wakes me up. An alarm meant to wake me up? Nah. :rolleyes:
She seems to be in safer numbers now. Hopefully the bounce from the streak of limes isn't too bad.
 
Whoa there, Miss Kit cat. That's been one heck of a morning!!!! Holy moly:woot:. Talk about Deep Sea Diving as Christine said.
Hope she coasts through the cycle and doesn't do the dreaded big bounce tonight.
Great job managing the cycle, Alicia. You are so good at working the carbs so well (I'm trying to learn from you).
Stay safe, sweet Kit :bighug::bighug::bighug:

She's stayed relatively stead so far. Creeping back up a bit, but when she goes up, it's usually pretty fast at the end of the cycle.
I know you're limited on what foods you can use, so I know it's harder to switch it up between carbs. If I couldn't use so many different foods, I think it would be much harder.
I hope the birthday kids are having a good day! ❤️
 
She's back under 200. I'm okay if tonight and probably tomorrow morning's cycle are slow drops that move us back towards better numbers. I love to see the lower numbers, but those big drops just give her such a vicious circle of big drop/bounce.
