Morning sweet friends, Merme has been very low and flat since his infection cleared out

he’s been earning reductions all the way down, now he is at .1U and yesterday night he earned another reduction

this would mean no insulin and OTJ trial?

Today I would be able to be with him all day, I can make a curve if needed

I’d try a drop dose and see if you can get rid of all the blue. Hold the plunger all the way in and insert into the pen or vial. Then release the plunger and it will draw up a drop.

You want a strong remission which means bg between 50-100 most of the time. Are you giving a +9 snack? That often is needed to bring down the amps/pmps.

Good luck as you move toward the OTJ trial, Andrea. I wish I had gotten Jude into a stronger remission as Elise is suggesting. He still had some blues when he went OTJ. He might have held onto that remission if I had known to do a drop dose. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Merme!

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to read all this on time @tiffmaxee, thank you so much for this info, didn’t know about the drop dose! Tomorrow I have to work full time, he is going to be alone for a long period (+2 to +9), do you think is safer to wait until PMPS to start again with the drop dose?

Im giving him snack at +3/+5 depending of my work, mostly I give it at +3, he gets Hungry during dose times, but at +9 would be better? His Nadirs are mostly during +3/+5 also

Thank you so so much Marielle, I’m going to take yours and @tiffmaxee advices, I’m so grateful, happy Valentine’s day yall

Ps. sorry for this late answers

I think you can give the drop. If tge pancreas is working a +9 snack will bring the BG down in 3-4 hours. That often gets rid of the blues when ready fur an OTJ trial.

His usual AM shot was 2 hours ago can I shot him at this time? I have to go to work in 10 min, kinda panicking here sorry

I would implement snacks, because of my work I’m getting limited in time, it’s ok if I can’t give him a snack all his +9? Some times I have to work at that hour

 

[tiffmaxee]

Just give the drop tonight. Gives +8-9 whenever possible. Please don’t stress about it.
