11/8
When we last left off, Jenks was 54 and on a trajectory that would likely carry him into the 40s, all within the fasting period with AMPS right around the corner. A veritable perfect storm of stuff not covered in the manual!
We carbed him up with enough time before AMPS to see an effect. He responded well to it, doubling from 54 to 110 and holding there. Plus, we got him to eat a generous portion of 12% for for breakfast before making a dosing decision. The 110 provided a sufficient buffer so that even if the gravy started to wane, the carbs from the breakfast food would kick in and give us a safe overlap. Also, OH would be home all day and able to monitor.
So we went with a full dose.
He did great through the first quarter of the cycle. But as usual when he has a low, late nadir, he exhibits an accelerated rise later in the cycle and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop it.
As for OH, I've always used it to mean Jenks' "Other Human". I recall seeing that abbreviation early on in my time here, adopted it, and have used it ever since not knowing that it was unconventional.
Sorry for keeping you in suspense @Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey!
