Okay, people make fun of me for this advice, but BREATHE, Ellen, BREATHE.
God it's good to have you back, Sue!!! I will however add to that what I PM'd you earlier..
"Breathe.....and put down the pokers for a couple of hours"
OK, Ellen.... you aren't totally screwed. Nobody is ever to that point here. Not if we can help it anyway.
So now I'm just all messed up - I fed him early cause he's hungry all the time now - I guess I should have just gone back to bed and ignored him and shot and fed at 7pm.
This morning, I thought you were asking that since you were awake, and since you got the 271, even though it was only +10.5, would it be okay to shoot? So that's what I posted a reply to. But then even after you explained that you didn't plan on shooting till 7am, I was still good with it, because I figured "she's still shooting the 271, not whatever number she sees at 7am, so the dose makes sense on that yellow number". That's why I posted what I did a couple hours ago. I sounded like "a plan that made logical sense", so I didn't understand why the numbers went the way they did. Still scratching my head....
As far as Robbie's behavior (I'm FREAKING STARVING ALL THE TIME HERE MOM!!!!!), I think it is part diabetes (they are hungier than normal, and even more so when their numbers go low), and part attitude. He's learned that screaming means food, and hasn't given you much of a choice unless you want the whole house awake when Robbie doesn't get his way. The amount you are feeding sounds like "enough", even for a diabetic. 3 to 4 cans of FF is 300 calories, at least. How much does he weigh again? It's a shame we can't give them stuff that is empty calories that makes you think your belly is full (like popcorn or watermelon) ate pacifies that hunger pain for a while.
Of course we have a second chance here folks cause YES< you guessed it - his daddy fed him at 4:30 PM and the PMPS shot is due at 7pm
Most of the food should be cleared, but some of the number will be food boost.
Does anyone/everyone think she should shoot the number she gets and try to ignore the food?
I thought the don't feed 2 hours before test and shot would mean that I was OK feeding him something at 3:30am and testing and shooting at 7am
I thought the same exact thing.
