Checking in on Munchie. She had 5 nights in a row of greens and last night was a blue...but has had several dips. I caught a below 50 on 12/30 and reduced her and then next night caught a 53 but she was rising at that point so felt fairly certain that she had gone under 50 again. However, because I didn't get the actual reading I didn't do a full reduction. The following night she still got in greens but did a Somogyi rebound which she hasn't done for awhile...meaning she started to go up rapidly---I caught from 66 to 91 in half hour and was 437 by morning. I know Somogyi is supposed to mean too much insulin which is interesting to have that after having gotten 2 reduced doses...hm??? She does have chronic pancreatitis; we just redid her bloodwork. So it's possible or likely that may be affecting things. I also don't know if she might need less at night? I don't obviously have as much data during the day and the most recent daytime readings may be bounces from the night before? When I look at her blues during the day on 1.5 recently, she then had pinks at night on some of those days. So she may still be bouncing after she gets blues or greens. Will see how she does tonight. Don't want to keep her at this reduced dose if she really needs more but don't want to prematurely push her back up either.
Thanks.
