Don’t know where these low numbers came from. We’re 1 hour from pmps and he’s at 129 and going down. Tried bumping him up at +9 and +9.5 with food and he went up to 150 as long as I kept him active but he’s set on napping now and going back down. May have to do a token tonight as he shows no signs of going up. All these high number days and then this. I never will understand all this…..

If he keeps falling should I feed him , or at what point would you feed? I don’t want to earn a reduction if we can avoid it.

 

He’s at 112, still falling. Let him drop down and take a reduction, or feed and skip dose or…..? 20 mins until pmps.

 

Don't feed. Could you update your spreadsheet. The last I see is 142.

 

Will do 104 now

 

102 and falling

 

98 falling

 

Your options are to feed now and delay PMPS by two hours, or wait and see where he goes by regular PMPS time.

 

And let him take a reduction?
Delay isn’t really an option.

 

The problem with feeding and shooting soon, is you don't know where his numbers would be without the influence of food. Given that he doesn't hold reductions well, it'd be best if he didn't earn a reduction. You could feed and skip, but then he'd be sky high in the AM.

 

He’s been sky high am lately anyway. Where did this come from? What makes this happen?

would a token dose work?

 

It's your choice what you choose to shoot. You have done a token dose before hand so you can see what happened then. Experienced people with lots of data - and the Libre gives you tons of that, will shoot full dose over 90 when following SLGS. Maybe somewhere between token and full dose?

 

He’s back to 106, so we’re feeding him. I don’t feel comfortable shooting a full dose. I just can’t stay awake with him late at night.

any idea what caused such a late, low nadir? We’ve been so high the last 7-8 cycles or so??

 

Later nadirs often occur with bounce breaking cycles. Kind of surprising here as his last numbers below 200 were 9 cycles ago and it doesn't typically take that long to resolve the bounce. Maybe he's so used to higher numbers that he bounced from some of the lower 200's he's seen.

 

Ty Wendy. So weird. Nothing goes according to the book with Tiger…

 

I hope Tiger will give you some of these blue preshots in the AM when you can monitor. He was on his way up, probably OK to shoot. But it would be nice if you had the data to confirm that.

 

Hi Deb, sorry you got into a dropping cycle with Tiger tonight. I know how stressful that was wishing you a good recovery from the skipped dose.
Please give Tiger some belly rubs from me and Ivy.
Hugs to you, too
