9/24 Jean Luc AMPS 510 - Dose Question

[snorton]

JL 9/23

My goodness I don't know what happens between +9 and +12. I wonder if he is actually eating later than +9. At AMPS this morning I did adjust the feeder to remove food at +9.5 rather than +10. Maybe that is what is causing the jump. It could also be continued bouncing / clearing. I not sure why he would've bounced from number between 244 and 205 unless he dropped more between +6 and +8.

After today, he will have been on the 1.25U for 6 total 12 hour cycles (3 days). Is it time for any increase? In looking at his s/s, I'm thinking the 5 -7 day rule below applies, based on the range of 86 - 205 as nadir.

If nadir blood glucose concentration is 200 - 300 mg/dl increase every 3 days by .25 - .5U
If nadir blood glucose concentration < 200 mg / dl but peak is >200 mg /dl increase by .25 - .5 every 5 -7 days.

I think you're correct. I would keep the patience pants strapped on for a few more cycles given the 86 on 9/22. Also sometimes they do go up again just before they come down so hopefully this is what Jean Luc is doing (like he did on 9/22)and he's about to head back down.

On three occasions JL's nadir was under 200 and 3 time it was over 300. I would lean toward increasing now especially since you're around to monitor. If you note, these guidelines state if the nadir is mostly in one range or the other. It could go either way so it's up to you.
