Good Evening Everyone!
I hope everyone's weekend has been going well. I am back from my trip to the city. Yesterday after the low I had his other caregiver only give him 1 unit (less than the next recommended step down), as I was not home and I wanted to make sure he would be safe after having the low earlier in the day.
He was checked last night and was sitting at a safe number and fed a meal again at +4. I was called this am and he was only at 68. I did not feel comfortable with him being fed, retested and maybe injected as today there was no one home to be able to test him periodically to see how he did.
He just tested at 259 (14.4) so I am glad we skipped that AM dose. We are now reducing 0.25u from his 1.5u and going forward with 1.25u twice daily, as I am home enough to monitor closely for the next week. I will check at +4 tonight as well just to make sure he doesn't nose dive on me.
