Re: 8/8 Bj AmPs (558)

Hi Mike,

It's nice that he isn't doing the deep diving and letting you get some sleep, but those higher numbers aren't much of a comfort. I'm still nowhere close to being able to tell you what is going on, so I guess this is a question to those who'll check in later -

Is this an example of a "reduction that doesn't take", or is it just an extended period of bouncing? Could maybe an overnight low have happened last night and this is a bounce from that? How does one tell the difference between bouncing and a failed reduction (or are the indications the same)?

Yeah, it's wierd. I wonder if there's a fur shot in there somewhere? Or maybe dropped to .75u too early. And I don't know what he was at last night, I fell asleep in my chair before his next test. Could not endure...
 
Re: 8/8 Bj AmPs (558)

Oh, and I need to note that I've changed his diet a little the past few days. I'm giving him a little more food and earlier feedings than before. Approx every 1.5 hours after AM/PM test until he's had about 4 feedings and then no food after +6.

Mike -- the 189 last night should be colored in blue, not yellow. What I think you saw this morning was a bounce. Bj dropped from 461 to 189. That's almost 300 points in 3.25 hours. That's a big drop and a fast drop. In all likelihood, it set off a bounce. It also looks like the numbers were coming back down.

Just an FYI, changes in the food schedule may also have an effect on numbers. It can take at least a few days, or sometimes longer or shorter, for the numbers to respond.

Oops, sorry. I just couldn't keep my eyes open last night :cry:
The sad thing is that I was just going to take a cat nap so I could stay up til 6am..
As you can see, my focus wasn't tuned. I'll have some caffeine tonight.

Hi Mike!

The steady drop from AMPS to PMPS is pretty typical of a bounce clearing - you can see a similar thing happening on the 4th of August in BJ's spreadsheet. Are you going to be ok staying up for a bit? Given how low BJ has gone whenever you've shot a blue BG, I'd feel happier if you could get some follow-up tests. Start with a (+1), ok? Then we'll go from there.

Hmm. Looks like he's on his way back up. If you need to crash, I'd suggest you just set an alarm for (+3). Does that work for you?

Re: 8/8 Bj AmPs (558), +9(216), PmPs (189), +1 (321)

I'll just stay up til then. Or maybe not, I'll get the +3.
 
Re: 8/8 Bj PmPs (189), +1 (321), +3 (362)

Those would work too, Mike. I doubt you'll have a surprise BG, it's just to be doubly safe. I've got to leave the house in a few minutes - I'll take my phone but I won't be able to post much while I'm out. Are you good here?

I'm time travelling back in 1982 and telling myself that in 30 years I will be negotiating for sleep on a computer :lol:

Anyway, I want to do what you think best. But how's this: set alarm for a +6?

EDIT: Ok, I'll take that as a yes. I'm about to go loopy.
