Yesterday's Condo
High start for Willie, but looks like he will still have a green cycle today. Left out plenty of fuds for any lower numbers. Lots of furcuddles to be had this morning, as always. My boy really is just such a sweetie.
I added the drop back on his dose that I took off last night, am considering last night an inappropriate BCS, and have decided that for these last 3 drops, I'm going to make Willie earn decreases with numbers below 40 rather than below 50. It dawned on me when we went to bed last night that with that technically unearned decrease, Willie was down to 2 drops of insulin, with only one more dosecrease possible. I think I need to give his pancreas as much time as possible to heal, and that was the basis of my decision this morning. Knowing I spend a lot of time out of the house, I am nervous about him going low during the day, but I don't want to jeopardize his chances of a strong remission.
I'd appreciate hearing others' thoughts on this plan... I'm definitely open to modifying if those with more experience think I should!
Busy day at tbp, plus dealing with car, neighborhood issues, trying to move... and in my other idiot move of the day from yesterday (see yesterday's condo for the first), I accidentally took two BC pills yesterday, apparently within 12 hours of taking my dose from the day before. So not only am I completely stressed, but I'm full-on hormonal and prone to cry like a girl at the drop of a hat. Lovely.
Hope everyone has a great day!
