Good afternoon,
yesterday was Binies first day on 1.5 IU and it seemsl like Binie does not want an increase even though her numbers clearly looked like she needs it. In the evening she started lower as usually at night with a yellow preshot. She stayed in yellow for two hours before she started to drop quickly. At 3.5 I started to feed high carb wet (20%) and managed to wait before I fed some high carb pill pockets because she was going down fast. I think I didn't overfeed this time and so she surfed in lower numbers for five hours. Today I decreased to 1.25 IU again.
Yesterday was a very hot day here and I really feel that the temperature can leed to faster absorption of the insulin. From tomorrow on it will be much cooler and I am curious how it develops then. Somehow I doubt that 1.25 is the right dose now because before we didn't see any good numbers anymore. Curious, how it develops the next days. Today she bounced to flat pink all day.
I spent half of the night with Binie on the terrasse and watched her. I felt she really enjoyed her time, even though there is so much not right in her body. I saw her watching little insects, getting up and watching curious what happens if she heard a crack somewhere and we watched a mouse collecting peanuts which fell down from the bird feeder. In the past she would have tried to catch the mouse but yesterday she was just watching very awake and interested. Seems she just accepts her limits and is o.k., with the life she is living now. The last six month since her diagnosis have been so full of worrys, anxiety and sadness for me. Last night I decided that it is enough and that I try to concentrate on the good moments with her and how we can have a good life together. Somehow she manages her life so much better than I do. Grateful to learn from that.
Hope you all have a nice sunday!
