Good morning guys! I'm a little late with my post. We have pre thanksgiving at my sister in laws house today. So I'll be away from Ovie from probably 12 to 5 today. I'd peak in if I was able to but my sister in law lives about an hour away.

Ovie's AMPS is 261 this morning.

Have a lovely time with your family.

Have a lovely time with your family.

Thank you! I'm excited to go. I haven't seen her since we moved home from Washington state.

 

[Alicia & Maggie (GA)]

Enjoy your visit! Ovie, be a good boy and just float in yellows and blues.

I have two meters. I tested Ovie with the Prodigy and his numbers read 201 and 219

Then I tested with the TRUEtrack that I have and the readings were 173 and 176. But... the strips are expired but stored well.

This seems like a big variance. Believe the Prodigy right? Bc the strips are in date?

If it were me, I'd go with the readings on the non expired strips. It's good to have a backup meter, but I wouldn't switch back and forth, you will have too much inconsistency and it could really impact your dosing decisions. FYI, those readings are still within 20% of each other, and that's the variance allowed, but best to stick with one meter.

Okay thank you. His readings on the Prodigy seem flat that past day or so. I was curious what the TRUEtrack said.

Tonight he's getting a dosecrease to 1.25u

Good luck with the dosecrease, nothing says "Happy Thanksgiving" quite like more insulin

I would use the expired strips now when the numbers are high and there is no danger for Ovie - why waste them? If anything looks strange or dangerous, double check with the good ones.
When the BG numbers are getting lower - which can be a while, or not - then switch to the good ones.
Big BG numbers don't matter anyways.....

I would agree that's a clever way to use them up and not waste them...if we were speaking of someone with a lot more time under their belt, but Ovie is so new to insulin and you are trying to establish patterns with the data. The particulars of high numbers don't matter so much (high is high), but a 90 point drop or rise in an hour, something like that, is worth note, and if you're switching between meters, the data is faulty in that regard.
