Sometimes when they are in low numbers and you're having a hard time keeping them from dropping, it makes sense to give a reduced dose to drain the depot so the numbers won't get ahead of you and cause a hypo incident. It also gives the bean a break from testing and lets you get rest.So, what are the reasons for draining the depot? hypos? To smooth out his cycles? Precaution?
Hoping the reduction works well. You are right about the spreadsheets - an invaluable tool for the owner (bean), and helpful for others to review as well.
I wish we had a thumbs up icon on the icon list.
Good for nutty for clearing that bounce so quickly - come on back down to the lagoon Nutty - Luci is THERE! Finally...![]()
Yay for Luci!
Nut is having a snack and then I'll take him outside for a walk. I'll have to pay attention to see if the walk affects his numbers later. The 37 he got 2 days ago was a day he went for his longest walk in months, like he used to do. Even tackled the incline the yard so possibly it all contributed to his bonk. Normal activity, walking, but I have to think about how it'll affect his glucose levels later in the day. I'm glad to hear Butternut is still active and doing long walks. His numbers are looking good today.
Scoobs used to walk with Theresa and the dogs - up the street, 20 or 30 houses away, then back. People used to say "Hey, there is a cat following you!" Theresa would respond "Oh that's Scoobs, he is our cat and he likes to go walking with us." ...like that is a normal thing in life. Scoobs left us with some great memories. The good kittehs always do. I think many of the neighbors mourned when Scoobs became a spirit, everyone liked seeing him joining the walks.
