Five cycles and not a single visit to the lagoon...I'm going back to 1.25 this morning to see if I can give her a little kick in the butt back to the lagoon. She was doing so well...and now...nothing...everything else is the same and since I'll be right here at home with her I can monitor her closely. So we'll see if that's what she needs...maybe she just wasn't ready for that nearly back to back reduction from last week? I was experimenting with her food as well...trying not to feed after 5+ and she went too low that one night...

I fully expected her to get back to the green lagoon after that flat yellow on 1/25 - nope :(

We'll just have to give it another try today and see if we can keep her away from the sharks AND keep those bookends down ... no more pinks or yellows there Luci.

Happy Monday everyone here in L&L Land - it's back to work day today :D

Prayers and hugs to all those in need. :bighug:
 
Luci is making me a little nervous now - it's two hours pre PMPS - and she's at 95 - very unusual for her to stay in the lagoon this long. I'm wondering if I'm tempting fate by giving her the full 1.25 tonight OR should I go back to 1 unit? I 'know' that I should stay consistent...but I don't want her venturing off to visit the sharks tonight. It's one way of finding out that she's gotten enough insulin...but it could be that the depot was already full enough...and I should have waited another day to see a 'green' or three...and now here we are...worrying in the other direction....

What to do????

I would wait for an expert's advice, but I think you should stick with the 1.25u tonight. The goal eventually is to have her hang out in all greens, and this is such a wonderful sign of her flattening out (spending more time at the lagoon). I would hate for you to disrupt her momentum. However, with that being said, I could be talking out of my behind. :p

Thanks Amanda! I swear I'm so un-accustomed to dealing with lower numbers :arghh::arghh: ... sheesh.... I can handle all those mixed up colors she's been giving me...but these low numbers...just make me so nervous! I just dread seeing her fall fall fall tonight...I lose my nerve every time she has a big drop and head for that medium carb - just a tiny amount - and then I'm poking the poor girl mercilessly...I just can't stand it when she's in the greens...gotta feel bad for her ... dealing with her crazy helicopter mama bean... I can almost breathe when she's in the blues - although there's always that 'edge of your seat' feeling...with the greens I'm outta my mind! I know the other colors aren't good for her...but I'm not in abject terror the whole day either...what a nut, huh?:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
I've got my seatbelt on now - ready for the daredevil deep plunge on the Luci-coaster...

I never did like thrill rides :(

And although I love Top Fuel drag racing - I would NEVER ride that Top Fuel dragster thrill ride - to me abject fear is not 'thrilling'...:rolleyes:
