If she has had 3 nights in the blues, how come Mr Liver is still panicking?

 

[Marilyn and Sheldon]

Lower numbers, fast drops. Liver panics. Darn liver.

C'mon, now, Hyde. Beat this bounce quickly. And gently!

A few cycles in a better range of numbers isn't a guarantee that the bounces are a thing of the past. If you look at Gabby's SS, there are times she spends several days in great numbers and then there's a bounce. (I'm convinced her pancreas gets tired.) If you consider how much time Hyde has spent in high numbers before and after his FD diagnosis, it's not surprising that his body is taking time getting re-acclimated to better numbers. Bounces are the bane of all of our existences.

Sorry about the bounce. I hope Hyde slides down today.

 

[missMeows]

Whoa Hyde, come back down there buddy! No need to fear the blues, embrace them

 

[Peg and Toby]

Sending vines that Hyde will break the bounce soon.

Can't offer any advice, just vines that Hyde starts to come down to better levels for you Anne, so frustrating.

I'm sure it's a shock to their systems when they finally come out of the reds/pinks and blacks. If you look at Grayson's SS (earliest tabs from 2012) you can see how he "was flat as a pancake", and "swam in a sea of pinks & reds" for months, before we started seeing movement. Hang in there!

The other thing I did, much to some peoples' disproval, was Grayson's dose generally increased at 20-25%. The higher the dose, the more that increase was. I kept that up until we started seeing consistent movement into [safe] lower numbers. Keep in mind that a "normal diabetic" usually has 25-50% increases... so in theory, this wasn't a stretch. But as long as we were seeing high numbers, I didn't want to lollygag and let the insulin resistance run me over. I can't say if it was a breakthrough of the resistance, the SRT, or just finally reaching the "ideal" dose (or a combo of any/all of them), when he first started responding. But something changed about October 2012, and improvement continued up until late August 2014.
