Good morning!

I guess Zoe enjoys diving. We'll see what plays out. It's always an adventure.

It's funny though... when we started, the low numbers scared me to death. After reading several posts on other people's low numbers and the responses and living vicariously through those moments, I'm nowhere near as anxious about them and we do pretty well when we get to them. I know I can steer it with food as long as I'm here (that's the part that would worry me ... if I had to leave). But the high numbers? I hate them. I can look at her and tell she feels bad. Her neuropathy is more pronounced following those bounces. Those are what I want to fix and am now struggling the most with.

It's hard for a "fixer" not to be able to "fix" something so important. Thanks for the patience, time and effort from each of you reading this.

Yesterday's drama



Hope you all have a wonderful day!

4.5 (74) fed - will check in 30
5.25 (61) fed - will check in 30
5.75 (88) fed - will check at +8 and feed last feed before pmps
7.5 (127) last feed/check until pmps
10 (288)

This is a feeding experiment:
PMPS (304) ... fed 1/16 c will feed in an hour.
1.0 fed 1/16 c will feed in hour
2.0 fed 1/4 c (figuring this is right before she starts dropping and the best time for the most food. since the lesser food at shot would let the insulin start working quicker since she's already in the 300s) will feed in an hour
3.0 (325) fed 1/16 c will wait until 5.0 to feed again.


(read "feeding the curve" and it clicked and made sense.) will continue a semi-normal feeding as she rises this morning - late start to reading the article - but will cut her night feeding tonight into meals to feed only during the first six to seven hours since that's when her nadir is the lowest. night time is not her best work, but we'll see if that flattens her out any for tomorrow morning's performance. )
