9/18 Owen AMPS 282, +4 178, PMPS 294

+4 at 178 so I think things are going well. Kris is getting very frustrated with testing right now so I told her to take a break until PMPS. Owen is eating well and I hope he will be in safe numbers for the rest of today? I’m thinking the minimum test requirements beyond preshot would be +6 for am cycle and +2 for pm, unless things seem to be changing quickly or we adjust the dose? Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance :)
 
When you get a big drop like you did last night at +2 it is a good idea to test again at say+4 to make sure theBG is not going to drop too low. Then you need to make a judgement call as to whether you need to test again depending on how much lower the BG has dropped and how close to nadir Owen is.
It doesn’t have to be +6 in the am cycle. It can be anywhere from+4 to +7. That should catch the nadir.

Thank you! It is a little challenging for Kris to test later at night- and I think she is getting frustrated with testing in general. I am trying my best to support her. I will let her know that when bg starts changing rapidly we will need to test more often. Thank you again for your help :cat:
