Last post (7/9) >

We've had no internet the past few days following a bad storm, but we are back!

7/10 BGs: AMPS 203 / +3 126 / +4 127 / PMPS 196 / +3 153 / +4 157
7/11 BGs: AMPS 243 / +3 110 / PMPS 149 / +3 113 / +4 124

I like the steadiness we are getting lately, but we have fewer greens since we increased on 7/8. Should we increase again?

Also - a question about BGs - I've gotten into a pattern of +3 (ish) and +4. I think +3 is typically her lowest, and I test again at +4 to make sure she's not going lower. But should I be testing more at different times? Based on her numbers do you think she's dropped lower at any point that I haven't caught?

I wonder how much lower she went yesterday morning after that 110...

It does look like she needs more juice.

I don't know why I didn't test at +4 as usual, I must have spaced out.

She must be reading these posts because we got a green!

We want lower nadirs. She hasn't gone below 80 on this dose. If she doesn't give you better numbers tonight, take her up tomorrow morning.

Yeah, funny how she had lower greens on some of the lower doses. Why would that be?

Their insulin needs go up and down depending on how much insulin their pancreas contribute. Sometimes a dose that was working no longer does and you have to go up in dosing. Sometimes the dose is too much and you reduce. We just follow the numbers.

I'm going to have another chat with her pancreas

Good luck! May you succeed where many of us have failed!
