PMPS is a bit higher than I thought it would be @ 128 based on the previous BG. I gave .25 I think, hard to tell the difference between .5 and .25. Tried the pharmacy in the medical clinic in town, thinking they may have the half units :( no luck.
 
I got my syringes at the grocery store pharmacy. Should be available at almost any pharmacist.

lol, they stare blankly at me when I ask for the 1/2 unit markings, actually even when I say U100. Maybe it a french term I need. Will try shoppers tomorrow, think that is the only one I didn't try.

Do you know what the difference are with the sizes: 1 cc (100 unit), 1/2 cc (50 unit), and 3/10 cc (30 unit) sizes . Think the one with the half unit markings is the 3/10 cc like the picture in the link you provided. The one I have at home says 1/2 cc on it.
 
Would this be a regular feeding time for Marvin? You could try encouraging him to surf with a small amount of food (leaving tummy room just in case - anti-jinx).
No matter what you do, you're going to be up for awhile anyway.

Not feeding time, but will give him food. LC for now.... should I put the coffee on? :)
 
A +3.5 will tell you if he is still dropping. A +4, will tell you if the LC is helping or if you need to pull out something bigger.

I can't stay up much longer. I'm still not well. Holler if you need help.
 
It's definitely a scary experience dealing with the lowest number you've ever seen for the first time. We've all been there, done that, and can assure you that everything is going to be just fine :)

But just in case Marvin decides to be very active and continue to go lower, do you have everything you need to deal with that? For example, a stock of higher carb, gravy-based food? Or a good source of liquid sugar, like corn syrup or honey?

I have I think MC food Chicken & Rice - Special Kitty think it's 17%, got maple syrup and honey.
 
65 was still a safe spot for him to be. Feeding a couple tsps of regular LC can encourage the surf. 17% food is HC, which is 15% and above food.

Surf time Marvin!
 
Marvin's spreadsheet is looking lovely. Wow. Fantastic healing numbers.

I really need to lie down now. Are you good? If Marvin starts dropping again, and you can't stay up, try the MC first, saving the maple syrple and honey if he drops under 50.

I should be good. If similar to last night he should be going up. I will stay up for a bit longer. Thanks

I gave him LC before, saving the HC for emergency. Looks like .25 is too high....
