12/7 Chloe AMPS 225

[Roberta and Chloe]

She ate some in between these two readings, so I guess it's a pretty drastic bounce. I'll wait until she hits 100 before injecting her with insulin. What do you think?

With SLGS a reduction has been earned. Her new dose is .25. When you shoot hours late, do you then give her next shot 12 hours later?

I was going to. I missed her shot time again last night and didn't shoot until 10 pm. She woke me again at 7 am this morning, which is when I got the 83 reading. I fed her and went back to bed. Next time I woke up at 8:30 am, she was even lower, at 57. I gave her a few treats and will test again now, 10 am. What does she need to be above to inject her. And you say only .25?

[Roberta and Chloe]

AT 10 am , she's only at 61 and doesn't seem interested in eating.

I suggest no shot this morning because:
1. Chloe's numbers are too low to shoot.
2. Chloe is not interested in food.
3. It will allow you to get back to your preferred shot time tonight with the new dose of 0.25 units, no matter how high she might be.

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

And congratulations on the reduction.

 

[tiffmaxee]

You need to skip. And shoot .25 tonight.

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Good luck with the reduction

Could I shoot .25 at the regular time of 7 pm?

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

Yes.
Do not give more than the 0.25 units.
Dosing is based on the lows, not the highs.

If she is high enough to shoot and you skipped this morning you can shoot .25 at your normal time tonight. However, if she is under 100 please post for help.

@tiffmaxee @Diane Tyler's Mom
She's over 300 now and has been eating throughout the day. When should I shoot? Do you still think .25 is enough? She was at 5 units before I messed up the times.

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

0.25 units.
She is high from the NS. She'll come down. Might take a day or so. Patience.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Remember you are not shooting based upon the PMPS. She’s bouncing from the skipped shot and the very low nadir. Shoot .25.

@tiffmaxee
2 things and you're going to be mad at me. I was going to shoot her right after 60 minutes at 7pm, but a friend called and I forgot until 8 pm. I did shoot .25.
2nd thing, I dropped the pen. Luckily the cap was on, but when I looked there were lots of little bubbles in the insulin. Does that mean it's bad now? How long before I should start a new pen?

 

[tiffmaxee]

It’s okay to shoot late. Just make sure not to shoot more than 30 minutes early in the morning. Bubbles won’t ruin the insulin. As long as it’s clear and not cloudy and doesn’t have any particles in it it should be fine.
BTW when I read your first sentence I thought you were going to say you didn’t reduce. I’m glad that you did.

at 10 pm she's at 445.

Bouncing! You can save some strips and not test until amps.

It's very encouraging to see the way Chloe came down from the reds last night and the NS before that.
