Pumbaa bounced off of some number I didn't catch yesterday. Lately he hasn't been going up to pink unless he hit green. But, at least, once again, he's clearing that bounce quickly!
We started our 4th Lantus pen this morning for the AM shot, and another variable that was introduced was my starting to use the new Relion Prime BG meter as of the PMPS. But I tested the new meter on myself, in a side by side comparison to one single drop of my blood, and the two meters were only different by one single point. Whew! That made me very happy, since the new Relion Prime meter has test strips that are only $.18 each, instead of $.36 each if the Relion Confirm/Micro strips are purchased from Walmart.
You can read my review of the new Relion Prime as well as my comparison of it to the Relion Micro I have been using here.
I swear that Pumbaa reads his SS somehow, and has some alarm clock that warns him that testing time or testing/feeding/shooting time is eminent, because he avoids me like the plague during these times! Yet, in between these poking times he will let me go up to him and rub his belly and pet him, or he will come to me for some loving. As I've said before, he's a smart little bugger! *LOL* And I have changed my routine constantly so that he has no clue what is coming up via sounds or via my activity. Built in alarm clock and a higher IQ than his mom...that's all I can figure out.
It might be a long night tonight since Pumbaa's PMPS was 165 and he had been dropping most of the day. Thank god the couch and I are good friends now. I just wish the alarm "snooze" button would shout out, "Yo, asswipe, you told us to wake you up at this time for some purpose, so hitting the "snooze" button isn't going to get us off of your case!"
