Phew. Good news/bad news. Or more like good news and me whining a bit.
Good news: Awesome cycle. I added some MC to her food after the +3, but just a very small amount and I think it worked out really well. Beautiful cycle. And it has been awhile since we've had one.
Me whining: Managing this and work is really rough. After her "maybe hypo" episode on this same dose, I'm trying to be really cautious. I didn't feel comfortable leaving for work today really at any point (+10 is usually when I'm off work for the day), since her eating with me gone is spotty. Plus I felt like if I wasn't boosting with a bit of medium carb, she would have dropped in the low 50s (or maybe below). And she had that potential hypo at 50/51. Work is really really nuts right now, so I'm basically trying to juggle multiple interviews and work reviews and in-person meetings based on her numbers that day. I'm sure I'm getting annoying to work with.
I don't think there is a good solution here, and I don't really feel like I have a choice since her safety is more important. I just kinda hate the relief I feel when she's bouncing high. I should be celebrating days like today instead of being really stressed.
Bell, on the other hand, had a great day. She enjoyed being feed every 1.5 hours and having a portable heating pad (my lap) accessible all day.
