I hope Silver clears the bounce soon.

I'm right there with you. Not quite as low just yet, but a +2 of 150 when he's usually still having a food spike. So much for that bottle of wine we had planned on. There's always breakfast, right?
I’m not going to stay up late as I’m exhausted. Will get a +5. His nadir unfortunately is usually around +10 so will feed him at +5 and hope he surfs safely til 6am.

Makes sense. I think you’re way more experienced with lows than I am, so I’m still finding my footing and confidence.
Not really. But I feel safe shooting the low numbers because I grab a second test with the old meter - accucheck - and I make an educated guess that he’s likely somewhere between the two. On accucheck a green is higher - a middle blue. So safe to say he’s likely at low blue. If I see low green or lime green I’ll definitely be snagging a second test.

I’ve considered switching to the human meter, both for better understanding of what lows mean and because of $$$. How do you like the switch?
I like the switch because his numbers suddenly “improved” but I keep double checking because given meter variance he is likely between the two. Both meters are human meters.

It looks like I’ve got some serious research and learning to do. I hope you have a restful night and get a chance to recharge your batteries. Posting will be tough for me over the next two weeks. I’m hoping I get some sleep so I can keep all the clients happy (as they pay for the insulin, strips, labs, etc.).
Try here. Interesting reading if an old article.
