Re: 7/21 Chi Chi AMPS 202+3 139+5 54+ 5.2 42+5.5 67+6 88

Just talked to mom! well she has been busy with Chi Chi this am :o She gave her some reg lc food at +5 and she still dropped to 42, 20 min later. She then gave hc and drop of honey and retested every 20 min til she was 88 at +6. I told her to go ahead and feed her normal small mid day meal and test again in an hour at +7, which is 2:30 pm est. My mom is a mess, so stressed out, and doesn't want to keep testing. I think she will be ok after eating since she is past nadir anyway. She did say she had 2 rising #s without food/honey.

what did you decide to do about reductions? are you doing the 3 times under 50?

your mom is a champ! tell her it makes her a Super Hero to be able to save Chi Chi's life on a regular basis! :-D

Thanks Julie!!!! I showed this to mom...she says she does it for me and Chi Chi, cuz she shore dont like doin it! :-D She said Chi Chi was really hard to test today too. She was prepared to test at +8, but Chi Chi went under the bed again(storms/thunder), and mom just decided to leave her alone. Well, I walked in the door at 7pm and Chi Chi was eating the droolers leftovers from her dish! I tested her within 5 minutes and she was 280. I decided to shoot through the bounce tonight. About the reduction..I want to take the .25 in the am and here is my reasoning behind that, which is just my reason mind you. You can weigh in with any thoughts. I looked at her ss and it seems that since she has been on the current dose of 2.5, she has finally settled in to it and it seems to me that she needs less. She has gone green and then bounced several times, but the bounce has been decreasing in duration up to today, where she hit green early and went to 42 even after lc food. I will take her back up if I dont see green in the coming days. I don't know if my mom is ready for another day like today anytime soon, although I know she will do what she needs to do to keep her safe. Remember, she is almost 80, and she forgets to pick up the droolers food, and has given the wrong food etc. in the past. I am just grateful that she is testing. Also, Chi Chi has been on insulin now for 6 months, but the first 3 months(need to check to be exact), I was only testing amps/pmps and on my 1 day off, so I really haven't had 6 months of proper data, only 3. I just feel like Ive only been properly dosing her for a shorter time than the rule of 3 times below 50 would apply to. Make sense? Anyway, Im going to 2.25 in the am. and go from there...whew..that was long @-)
 
Re: 7/21 Chi Chi PMPS 280

yes, i understand what you're trying to explain.

Chi Chi held the last reduction - which was super. i think your plan of reducing her with watching to take her back up if she doesn't go back to green immediately is ok.
