Good evening,
our last days have been a bit tiring. Binies well-being is up and down. So is her bg. Her appetite become better again, which is a huge relief.
After the active AM cycle on thursday where she earned the reduction she had another active pm cycle as well, even with the reduced dose. She was again dropping fast and I tried to slow it down a little with hc food but not too much. At +6 and +7 she was surfing between 80 and 100 on the libre. I didn't try to test her on the handheld as she was still annoyed from the day. I always have to be careful not to annoy her so much that she rejects her shots. That would be the worst. When the libre showed that she was dropping faster below 80 I stopped it with a hc treat, because she lost appetite in the hc kibble and I was scared I couldn't manage anymore.
On Friday I had to be outside because of my job serveral hours throughout the day so I bumped up the carbs to not let her go too low. It doesn't feel good to do so but I was scared to leave her alone like that. But it seems she bounced anyway so maybe she would not have gone that low anyway. In the evening again we had a fast drop, which made me nervous. Again I fed small portions of hc throughout the evening until she went up after +6.
It is so surprising to me she is dropping so fast and so deep now even though I feed lots of hc, which I decided to reduce some days ago. Maybe even though the wound is an ongoing problem there is some form of healing?
Anyhow the situation makes me scared to leave the house. I feel I always have to actively feed her something to "shape the curve". Next thursday I have to be a full day out, leaving directly after am shot and come home for the pm shot. So I decided this morning to do another reduction, even though the last < 90 have been only on the libre and not the handheld. I don't know if that was a wise idea. The last time I did that in april it did not work out and I had to go up again. But keeping her safe is a priority and at the moment I feel she is not safe without me being around and making feeding decisions based on her bg. We'll see what I can learn from this.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
