TODAY: AMPS/331, +2/258, +2.5/235, +6/121, +6.5/140, +10.5/102, PMPS/107, +1/187, +2/192, +3/232, +6/150, +7/172, +8/161, +9/138
Hi LL! It's Monday once again.
Eddie let me get a good night's sleep last night after giving me a run for my money on Friday and Saturday night. His liver really pitched a fit last night about the last string of green numbers (and maybe all the extra carby goodness?). This morning, he started out in pink, but seemed to possibly be on the rocketship down into better numbers. I fed a higher LC for second breakfast, and gave Eddie an extra tablespoon of 11% before leaving for work. I also set the auto feeders with the higher LC for +4 and +5 in an effort to slow him down. At lunchtime (+6), he was at 121 (just one point shy of the "normal" range!). That kind of drop will almost certainly cause a bounce. He's had this pattern a few times now recently, but each time, it's been while I'm at work, so I really don't know how fast he's dropping, or when the fastest drops are occurring so I could try to be more precise with food manipulation to slow the speed of the drop. It seems like when we reduce, I have to wait a few cycles for him to stop the pendulum of bounce-drop-bounce before he shows me what he can really do on a dose. Having gone through the process of fast reductions before, I do worry that the bouncing will eventually get totally out of control again.
Have a good day everyone. Vines and hugs for all beans and kitties who need them today.
