AMPS 137
After the huge bounce last night at PMPS to 484 (after 2 low green cycles) I was expecting Sheba to bounce for at least one cycle. So I was amazed to see her dropping back down straight away and having a blue night and blue AMPS this morning. I think that was her shortest bounce ever! I hope this means progress!
I have also reduced her insulin dose by 0.25 units because those two cycles were very strong and even with the honey she was dropping at times. If I have to leave unexpectedly (because of a medical condition), it worries me that I might have to leave Sheba when she was really low, so for peace of mind I am reducing her just a bit. I know I could abort the cycle but if it was early on in a strong cycle she could easily drop back down after a couple of hours.

Great work Sheba with the short bounce!

+3 164
That's pretty good. Bit of a food spike which often happens with a lowish preshot. I think she will come back down and have an active cycle. Well....I am hoping that is what she will do!

+4 88
That is quite a drop in one hour. Slow down Sheba.

Looks like you called it

Yay for clearing the bounce so quickly. I hope Sheba keeps surfing for you.

+4.5 54
Still dropping. That is 34 points in half hour and we are only at +4.5
I have intervened and given drop honey and half teas 16 carb. She is on a mission!

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I hope Sheba slows down the drop and starts surfing.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Dropped again.
+5.5 49
Given drop honey and half teasp 16 carb

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

+6 56
I have given her another drop honey and 16 carb. I don't want her dropping too low and triggering another bounce if I can help it. Plus she is not the type of cat who will just surf along in those numbers as a general rule. She likes to dive.
I think I might get her a new surfboard for Christmas to encourage her to surf more.....you would think being an Aussie she would be right into surfing!

Your crystal ball is working really well today Bron! Good call on reducing the dose.

I am lucky that Neko is a bit more of a surfer girl. And yes, there is some surfing in British Columbia - though wet suits are worn. For you Sheba, a bit of inspiration.

Thanks Tara, Serryn, Carla and Wendy for stopping by and the support. Very much appreciated.
Looks like she has finally decided to surf a bit. Thanks for the surf board inspiration Wendy....it worked.
Am just out the door to get kids from school.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Wow, Sheba! You really got the job done today. Guess you felt like you needed to earn the reduction you got, eh?

It'll be interesting to see what she does with the new dose once there is no influence from the depot.

 

[suki & crystal (GA)]

Good call on that dose reduction Bron, she is a super diver but needs to hone her surfing skills!
