4/19 Pumbaa AMPS/522 +3/376 +8/275 PMPS/437 +4/272

Yep, I figured he'd show a bounce today after getting a 140 at +5 last night.

Keep reminding yourself - carefully slow and steady is safer!

Slow and steady here, BJM. I'm surprised that that little .25 increase made such an impact! Hopefully after the bounce, Pumbaa will be in the blue more regularly.

Its like climbing up a down elevator.
The rate you climb has to be just enough to get to the level you want, not too fast, nor to slow.

Thats how depot or "shed" insulins work. At the end of the 12 hours, there's still a bit left to break down and use. The next shot builds on that. When you get to a good level, you're putting in an amount that fills the shed just enough so that when you get to the next shot, it tops off to that starting level again.

Excellent analogy! Thank you!

Notice how he's still coming down some today? I think that the bounce is definitely wearing off. Just hang in there!

I agree! He's coming along nicely today despite the bounce! Congrats on blue yesterday It's so exciting once you start seeing those nicer numbers....

I had failed to update that his PMPS was high again, at 437. I'm hoping and praying that his +5 test tonight is at least yellow, if not blue.

Okay Pumbaa remember you are a kitty not a rubber ball...lets leave the bouncing to the balls OKAY?

Now Pumbaa's liver...listen up! It is purrfectly okay for him to be in the 100s, he isn't going into hypo, there is no reason to panic so just STOP IT!

MTWW: Thank you for the pep talk to Pumbaa's body, especially to his liver.

I've been singing, "I'd rather see blue.." since last night. Hahahaha!
