4/17
Jenks served up a very stubborn sub-50 reading this morning, which was the perfect storm because I was operating on less than two hours of sleep and was very, very foggy.
I was determined not to blow this and have to skip a shot. After nearly an hour of stalling, and with the help of a little bit of food, we nursed him over the line. But after touching down in the 40s last night and again this morning, I knew I couldn't stay awake or be awake to be on guard for a full dose. I gave him a half-dose (4.75U - normally I opt for 2/3 dose for Jenks, but this was a better safe than sorry moment) and went back to sleep praying that this didn't ruin his amazing streak.
Thus far, things appear unchanged. +3 shows my attempts to carb him up at breakfast. But by midcycle, we're back down slightly.
Hopefully, the depot helps him cruise through PMPS. I guess tonight we'll refine the dose with a decrease from 9.75U to 9.5U and see what happens. Part of me wonders if a quarter unit is enough, or if I'll be chasing the depot again later tonight...But I also don't want to take a larger than necessary decrease and let the numbers get away from me. Dilemmas....
