Re: 5/4 Willie +12 62 AMPS 76, +1~71, +2~56, +5.5~70, +6~106
Went home over lunch... Willie was lounging on the sofa and looked very irritated when I walked in... like I was somehow interrupting his quiet time. :lol: :lol: :lol: We had some lunch time cuddles and then I headed back to work. Numbers are definitely in the safe range, so we are good.
One of the things that has made me more nervous recently is that my meter tends to run high... generally I find that the Advocate runs at the top of the 20% meter variance while the Freestyle and Relion (my backups) run at the bottom of the 20%. I just worry about him going too low during the day when I'm gone, though with such a little dose, I know he isn't in as much danger. If I am particularly concerned about a given number or Willie's safety, I will at times test with both... when one runs high and one runs low, the overlap is actuallly a very small range. When I left this afternoon, Advocate was giving me a 106 while Freestyle was giving me a 74. If both meters are functioning normally, Willie' s actual range was between 85 and 89. I don't ever use these calculations to make dosing decisions, it is more just a peace of mind thing when I'm concerned about him being safe, especially in situations where I am needing to leave and narrowing the range can give me a better sense of whether or not he's rising/falling. Amazing the mental gymnastics in the sugar dance!!
I am closer to buying a house... after talking through one of the properties I saw at the open houses with my friends/family, I'm almost ready to make an offer. Going to view it again with my realtor and look at a couple other places on Friday. If all works out, I think I'll be putting in an offer! I'm starting to get excited!
