Re: 2/22 SCRABBLE AMPS 167w/food +1 272 +3 336
What you're seeing is rebound. We have lots of descriptive words for it here in LL -- RBC (rebound city) or LTS (Liver Training School). Well, we have other words for it but those are the ones that are relevant and appropriate for a "G-rated" board!!
The process is that Scrabble has gotten used to BG that's in higher numbers. As the insulin is doing it's job and as the pancreas heals, numbers come down, like last night. That's the good news. The bad news is that Scrabble's liver panicked. Instead of recognizing those blues as a healthy, good range, her liver started reacting as if this was hypoglycemia and pumped out stored glucose and counterregulatory hormones. (I know, this is why we call it liver training school!) As Scrabble spends more time in lower numbers, her liver will, hopefully, calm down and stop going into panic mode. Just be aware that it can take up to 72 hrs. for those hormones to clear.
So, as it turns out, today is a great day to collect data but it may not be a typical day for the purposes of getting a curve.
