Hello Everyone,
Ruby is doing just fine with the home testing. Although, this morning, I couldn't get any blood. After trying about 4 times, I tried again and got
a big amount of blood. She moved her head and blood flew all over! Has this happened to anyone else? Did i just hit the vein?
It did scare me, but she stopped bleeding after putting pressure on it. I finally learned how to do her spread sheet, and I am learning a lot just by
having all of her BG readings in one place.
Thank you to all for your help.
Jen
 
i try not to...but i often hit the vein with Binks...
never has caused him problems...but spatters the reading glasses!

you're doing great!

celi & binks
 
Morning Jen! oh yes on the head shake and the blood splatter and the vein. we all do it... :-D applied pressure will stop it just fine. It's never caused any problems for Mannie either. There are days too where it's all one can do to get a blood drop. Eventually that too gets better.

I think you are doing great. It is so helpful to see all their numbers on a SS, isn't it? One learns do much by having everything in one place.

What a nice amps for Ruby - SWEET!

Have a great day guys!
 
hi Jen

nice work getting your SS going!
a comment...from your comments in your SS:

BG at 8:30 am was 131. Her AMPS is at 11 am
Click to expand...

the 227 is the actual AMPS at your shot time of 11:00 (+12 on the SS cycle) (the AMPS & PMPS are on the +12 cell) u follow me? :lol: ok.

the 131 should go in last nite's row of the PMPS cycle, around +9.5 (which was around 8:30 am for you),.. if you test on the half hour, you can fill it in like this on the SS: 131 @ +9.5

I'm glad to see you are getting some mid cycle numbers, it does get easier to test, not saying u have to test a lot, unlike some of us, @-) but whatever you test, whenever it is, those nadir checks (mid cycle) will show a lot.
Don't forget thou, if one day u get lower than usual numbers anywhere in the cycles, you may have to test more frequently to make sure Ruby stays ok.
but like I said, it will get easier as you go along.



And yes! Blood splatter on the glasses right here too! :shock: :lol:
have a good nite!
 
Thanks for the help with the SS. I do understand what you are saying.
I will change it in a second.
Thanks again,
Jen
