Daphne is starting to see her normal low numbers during the daytime again, and the usual higher AMPS.
I'm working to get her PMPS down to the greens and then I may start to change her times next.
FYI: from Mayo Clinic, they say, there are a few ways to bring the AMPS down, ( which the problem is the "dawn effect" that they say raises the AM numbers). I tried the one way, which was to give a +9 snack at the PM time, which actually worked, but it also made her daytime numbers go up. So it failed in that way. So the other way that the Mayo Clinic advised was to give the insulin closer to the time that the "dawn effect" starts to raise numbers (between 3AM to 8AM). One problem with that is, she would be left alone after her shoot, while DH and I are sleeping. So I figured maybe a compromise, and give it about 10:30 AM and PM, it would then be a little closer to the 3AM and 8AM time. This will take work on my part because I would have to do it over a long period of time, 15 min. increments, every day till I reach that target of 10:30. So my biggest problem now is my own health, its going to be hard for me. So I need to start to feel better first. When that will be is kind of hard to tell, but I'll make sure its in my notes….
I hope this info. can help someone else that is also having the same problem. The Mayo Clinic said that not everyone is effected by the "dawn effect", its only the people that see high numbers at the AMPS. This is the web site I found this info. on: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dawn-effect/AN01213
ALSO, ITS VERY HARD FOR ME TO TYPE. MY HANDS HURT VERY BAD, AND I AM ALSO A HORRIBLE SPELLER AND SO FOR EVERY POST, I HAVE BEEN GOOGLING EVERY WORD I THINK IS SPELLED WRONG, ( THIS BOARD'S SPELL CHECK IS OFF ABOUT 4O% OF THE TIME). I REPORTED IT TO THE TEC. PEOPLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS WORKING FINE, BUT I DON'T THINK SO NOT REALLY. SOMETIMES I COULD JUST HAVE THE WRONG SYNONYM... THE FIBROMYALGIA TOOK MY SPELLING AWAY, LIKE ITS TAKING EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO FROM NOW ON, TO STAY ON THIS BOARD, I AM GOING TO LEAVE MY SPELLING ERRORS ALONE, I CAN'T BE DOING THE GOOGLE THING, IT HURST ME. SO WITH EVERY POST, AT THE BOTTOM, I WILL REMIND EVERYONE THAT THERE ARE SPELLING ERRORS, AND I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE THINKING I AM STUPID, BUT OH WELL, THE PRICE I HAVE TO PAY TO SAVE MY PAINFUL HANDS. HOPE THAT WILL BE OK WITH ANYONE ELSE THAT READS MY POST.
P.S I have no idea why I am so chatty this afternoon, so sorry for the long post, and yes, my hands are now dead!!! :lol: oh and also, I can't visit condos and type a lot, so please forgive me, and I'll do the best I can to get around as many as possible. I love my new family her in LL, and wish I could visit ever single person and kitty every day. :sad:
