yesterday 2/23 Bella AMPS 293, +3 193, +5 179, PMPS 249, +2 227
Good morning! I am starting to feel hopeless here.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Hang in there. It can be very frustrating but give her some time.

 

[cecile & bella]

I know. Patience pants needed

 

[cecile & bella]

I added a question: she's at 118 now, PMPS, I will re-read the guidelines, should I give her her 4 units? Or wait and see how she's going from there?

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Just looked at your ss...you've shot 5u for a lower number before.

If you can stay up and monitor have some mc and uc if needed and plenty of test supplies I say go for it

Thank you. That was when I was still doing SLGS. I will do it, then. it's only 19:20 here, so I can monitor her for at least 3 hours from now.

So definitely for tr you can shoot any number over 50..as long as you can monitor and have supplies

Thank you! I really appreciate your fast answer. I hope one day I can help here too!

I'm excited I could help! Havent done that much! I'll check in a little later make sure it's going ok

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Please test and feed at +1 since you've shot a lower number.

 

[cecile & bella]

I just did both, I had to go get my daughter from dance class so it's +1:30. She's at 96 and ate again. I will check her again in an hour.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yay! Green. Not much of a drop which is good

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

How is Miss Bella doing? We should be at your +2.5 right?

 

[cecile & bella]

89 now, we're almost at +3, +2:45 exactly. She wants more food she always does. I'm giving her more LC, right? I have one can that's a little higher in carbs, too, in case she drops lower.

Yay she is coming down nice and easy which is perfect!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Just regular LC is fine.

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Check in an hour. Looking at your ss there isnt much data to know her approximate nadir

Missed that question mark read it as a statement

 

[cecile & bella]

Thank you!

I know, I did not test her later during the night, she sleeps and I do, too, I cannot wake up to test her. I try to get a test late or early if I happen to be up, though

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

I get that it's super hard to wake up. Ve had trouble with that myself! Just make sure to stay up tonight long enough to see her flatten out and start to rise.

Just to clarify for future reference, you want to intervene with higher carbs when there are sharp drops or she is below 50. 96 to 89 in an hour was as good as flat so higher carbs are not needed.

Thank you, Bhooma! That really helps.
She's still going down, 73 at +4. She's eating a little bit of Fancy Feast and she had her milk. I will try to stay up a little longer to test her again, I would like to see her go up before we go to bed. She seems very hungry, too!

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

It looks like we are in same time zone...I just hit my

She is still coming down really nicely not dramatic at all

Yes i would definitely make sure she is coming up before heading to bed. It's a pj party tonight!

I saw you are in MN we are in same time zone I'm up with my guy tonight too.

Nice. Did she eat after the last test? +2.75/+3?

 

[cecile & bella]

Thank you @Rainbow Conti, where are you? US too?
@Bandit's Mom :yes she did, and she ate after the last one too, at +4, I gave her a tablespoon of FF. I will try to wait as long as I can but not sure it will be an hour. Trying

Texas...

I was born in Wisconsin...still have some family up there too

I lived in Eau Claire for 3 years. I bet it’s warmer in Texas than here tonight.

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

It is but still in the 30s so pretty cold for the southeastern part but nothing like you at all!

So just took my +5 here hows it going there?

My guy has leveled off but he usually nadirs between +4 and +6. I will stick with you though until she is on the rise

 

[cecile & bella]

OK, she's 84 now, and eating a little again. She was on the bed ready for the night but came running downstairs when she heard the fridge door.
Is 84 high enough that she is safe now?

She has stayed relatively flat all evening so I'm inclined to say yes....without more tests it's hard to say...like i know with my guy about where he is flattened out and on the rise based on previous long nights LOL

@Bandit's Mom do you agree bedtime or one more to make sure it's not the food.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Sorry! I'm only just seeing this. It was safe to go to bed.

@Bandit's Mom do you agree bedtime or one more to make sure it's not the food.

You need to worry about carbs wearing off only when you feed higher carbs As long as they are eating LC and are flat or rising, it's safe to call it a night.
