Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

Are you stalling? And if so, don't feed.

It does kinda make you wonder where Sumo's numbers were during the PM cycle.
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

Rechecked and got a 78, went ahead and fed, but have not dosed yet. Still give the 2.75unit?
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

Can you stall another 15 min-1/2 hr to see if the number comes up??
Will you be home to monitor him?
See what I mean about insulin still being in the shed eve though you didnt shoot?
You have options here.
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

Shouldnt have fed, now you will get a higher number from the food, test always comes before feeding for an accurate bg number-OK?--We'll just have to work with it.
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

tested 74 ,waited 20 min, tested again 78. Went ahead and gave food. I guess I should have waited for the number to go higher. What number do you want to see before I should feed and dose??
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

I will be at work all day. Can come home during lunch approx 5 hrs from now. Should I shoot full dose of 2.75u ?
 
Re: 12/20 SUMO ambg 74

Mary you have 3 options: Dont shoot..
Shoot a BCS dose, just something to keep him surfing, like half the reg dose.
Staying home & shooting full dose(2.75) and monitoring him during the day.
As you will be out for 5 hours I suggest leaving out MC food if you shoot the BCS dose, just to keep him safe.
Please post his number when you come back in 5 hrs..This is all good!
Sumo is doing well!! Just have to find his right dose...

mary:

If you're not going to be home, I don't think it's safe to shoot. When you're shooting your lowest number, you want to get a +1 and a +2. Also, you do not want to feed if you are stalling. You have no idea whether numbers are actually lower than what you're seeing. The numbers you're getting could reflect the influence of food.

You might want to take a look at this guide on handling low pre-shots.

Hi guys .. wow, I bet this morning's number was a pleasant surprise! I hope that whatever you decide to do today regarding dose, sumo just surfs the day away for you! have a great day!
 
Gave half dose of insulin, left MC food before leaving for work. Had an opportunity to leave for lunch early and got home for a +3 which was 281. Will post again tonight.
