Re: 3/7 bailey uk amps 20.1 (is this how i do it)
Hey Anna!!!
The spreadsheet does convert it for us un-educationated Americans thank goodness, but just times your number by 18 and it'll make it easier on us. They've been telling our school children that the US was going to convert to metric since I was a little kid (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth)...Still hasn't happened!!
I'm sure it's a pain for you though to have to remember to do it, but you'll get used to it after you've done it awhile too.
On behalf of the people of the United States of America, we're sorry!!
:roll: :lol:
Nice to see a sunny yellow for Bailey today! He looks much more manly in yellow than in pink or red, but Hey Bailey!! BLUE is for boys!! Come on down!!!
He may still see those blues too! We don't have enough data yet to say that he "Usually" nadir's later in the cycle, but he's so close with that 205...just another 6 points! It'd be great if you could get a +6 or +7 today too, but I know it may already be too late. (I'm awful at converting time zones) If it is too late, now might be a good time for a +11 too (again, time zone's aren't my thing....lol) The +1's and +11's are the "forgotten" tests, but can help a lot going forward in learning more about how Bailey reacts. Just every once in awhile it's good to get those to add the little pieces to the big puzzle that is Bailey's chart.
You're doing great..and it's great that Bailey seems to feel better too. Wonderful to hear he was watching for his mamabean in the window! Lunch with your best friend..who could ask for more?
Keep up the great work and hope you're having a fantastic Friday!
Edited to add...there's no way to know before you get other tests in, or do your PMPS, but it's possible you might get a higher number than you might be expecting (or praying for) Remember, Bailey's liver has been used to living in high numbers for quite some time, so although a 205 isn't a "low number", it's a pretty big drop from 362 in 4 hours, so it's possible Mr. Liver is going to panic and release those hormones and sugars he keeps stored for emergencies and you're going to get a "bounce". If it happens, try not to worry. Although annoying and disappointing, it's normal, and as Bailey gets better regulated, and Mr. Liver spends more time in lower numbers, he'll start to re-learn that it's ok to be there and start to panic less high, as well as clear them faster. When China first started, if we got a low, or had a large drop (from like 400 to 250 fairly quickly), she'd bounce back really high and take a full 72 hours to "clear the bounce". She still bounces, but not so high, and can usually clear the bounce in one cycle. Bailey will get there too!
