Bounce or failed reduction? Hopefully we will know by PMPS so I can decide what to do for vacation.

I hope Mac keeps sliding down. You probably don't want to increase since you'll be leaving and no one will be testing.

He is still going down so I think it was a bounce he is clearing. I am thinking of maybe forgoing shots for 9 cycles and pick it back up aggressively when I get back. He seems to have odd nadir times now. Will see how low he goes tonight.

@tiffmaxee He is doing bounce clearing today and will see how low he goes. Can you tell me the negative if I forgo giving him shots for 4.5 days. Seems the negative would be if he went high and quit eating could develop ketones. Someone will be watching him and making sure he eats.

You are right that it won’t hurt him long term as long as he eats. What about a token dose of .5? You could just skip if you feel more comfortable though. Let’s see what a few others think. @Wendy&Neko @Bron and Sheba (GA)

Has he ever had ketones?

And at PMPS he is now 155 after starting at 497 today. The good news it looks like it was a bounce. Wonder what he will do tonight. Will he match 8/19??

He’s sure keeping you on your toes.

He’s sure keeping you on time toes.

Yes! and he has been munching freelance most of the day except the last hour.

OK he bumped up to 305 pretty quickly. I expect I might go with the token .5

See what tonight and tomorrow brings. Interesting that he came up and then down by pmps.

He came down all the way to PMPS and then went up during second cycle

The question if whether he goes without insulin while she’s away or what reduced dose he will get. She’s not thinking about an increase.

Sorry I am just seeing this.
Personally I would not skip insulin for 4.5 days.
I would at least give a token dose.
Do you have someone who can give insulin for you?
And as @tiffmaxee says you need to make sure he eats well all the time.
Did Mac ever have ketones?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I like Elise's idea of the partial dose.

 

[jillnc1]

Thank you all. Yes Mac will get .5 dose twice a day. He was 500 this morning.
