Good morning, Lily and I have had an eventful night. I have been up the majority of it. I set an alarm to wake up at +8 but must have shut it off unaware because didn’t wake up until +8.45 and checked her and she was 37. It must have scared me pretty bad because I gave her some hc and probably overdid it. 15 minutes later she was 300!! I will set my alarm for an hour to check her. @tiffmaxee , Wondering if I should give her a decrease in her Lantus because she went so low? Or call this 2 out of 3?

Thanks, hope everyone has a happy and safe Monday.

I guess I must have caused a bounce when I gave her too much hc last night.

You poor thing! That must have been a little scary. Lily probably would have bounced anyway from that 37, so don't be too hard on yourself. What kind of HC are you giving her and what's the carb %?

 

[tiffmaxee]

So sorry she loves pj parties. Reduction earned though. I agree with Katherine that no matter what you fed her she would have bounced. Congrats on the reduction.

A drop under 40 always means a reduction. The 3 times before a reduction is if she’s in the 40’s.

I give her the ff beef gravy lovers and I think it is 21%.

Yes that is what I thought you had said but wasn’t sure. I will reduce tonight. Thanks Elise.

I'd maybe experiment with a lower percentage HC, like something in the teens, just to manage the bounce as it seems like when Lily hits low she likes to go up like a rocket. I like to feed Ruby pouches from the Weruva Cats in the Kitchen series when she goes below 50 and she loves them too. A lot of them are between 16-19% carb.

Thanks Katherine, I will try those!

 

[tiffmaxee]

I would take her back up another .25.

 

[Sally and Lily GA]

I would take her back up to .25.

Agree, will increase to .50 this morning. Thanks Elise.

 

[tiffmaxee]

One of these times it will stick.

You caught my typo. Good.
