I am so sleepy....that's the price of a testing party.
It was so worth because I saw green last night. :mrgreen: at 4am! I don't think I was dreaming. I really got up this time & tested him. I even went back & checked my monitor this morning to make sure. It was 94 :mrgreen:

My plan was to feed Baxter this morning & give him his shot. Just when am I going to learn...nothing goes as planned...WHEN?
I like this off the plan....liking this new plan better.....

+12=108

The new plan to keep testing & catch the BG rise. So no back to sleepy town for me. I-)

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
 
So Baxter has surfed for 10 hours! Not to make your day more difficult, but I hope you don't catch the rise.....because I hope there is no rise!!!! Are you getting the "hungry eyes" yet?
 
+14=122
2 hours after food.

No hungry eyes just yet....sleepy eyes for sure. :lol:

I will keep you posted.
I am going to update his SS in a bit.
 
Wow - GOOOOOOOO, Baxter!! Looking GOOD!

I know what you mean, I have gone back and checked my meter numbers, thinking I MUST have read them wrong or dreamed it or something...Hope Baxter has a super day and you get some much-needed sleep!
 
Have you fed him again yet? Seems Mr. P is at it again!!!! Hope you had time to set your trap, did the blow darts and camouflage suit I sent you arrive yet?
 
+16=151
It's been 4 hrs since food. He is starting to rise a little.

+12-108
+14-122
+16-151

I am ready to shot .2. I dont think i want to wait much longer to see a higher rise. I rather get it low & try to keep it low. Am I crazy from the loss of sleep?
 
I know a lot of micros shot at a point just at or above 150, but I think with smaller doses like .1 or less. Don't know if he/you are ready for that, can you test him through the cycle? You're gonna start seeing greens at the rate he's going!
 
I think you could do it, but it's your call...looks like most days .2 into a low 200 only gave you about 25%drop, so if that holds it would be safe but you're going to get greens, maybe even greens that are lower than you are comfortable. If you do and you get down there, as long as it's not at like +2 I'd support with low carb and let it ride....the day kitten got down to 40 I really wasn't worried about hypo, but then we were on 0.05. I think it's just a judgement call on the dose, 0.2 or 0.1...and you said if you ever got the chance again you were going for it....
 
Running one more test since its been 1 hr since the last. I did give him a little food.

Palms are sweaty, hands a shaken....I have to do it! Going with .2.
I know it's going to be alright because I have everyone here to help me. I know if I post a 911 you guys are going to swarm me... :lol: , but thats what I will need.
 
Put up the fighting gear....
+17-148

It really scares me to shot at 148. Tell me everything will be ok....I know it's my call, but....do I?
 
Hi Jenn!
I am SO jealous!
as long as you will be aroung to test
then everything will be fine
you know what you ahve to do! :mrgreen:
 
Okay Baxter Buddy -

Don't make Mama Bean crazy! Nice GRADUAL decreases. Not too low - (even though I KNOW you want some cake to go w/ your high carb food! We'll love you in green... but above 50... maybe a nice 60 or 70... not one of those numbers less than my age!!! We don't want you to be bouncing for a week!

Grayson said to "take it slow & enjoy the ride" - I know you're much more inclined to listen to him than me!
 
+2=185

Not moving down yet. I just have to remember I just gave him insulin. I keep looking at the clock thinking +8 when it's not. :roll:

I am so tired & DH has plans for me to work in the yard. It's hot here & I'm tired. I just want to take a nap until +4.

I will keep you updated.
 
Well, I hope he gets moving again....but even if he just stays flat with no bounce I'd call it a win!
 
Ok feeling better took a nap & I'm good to go...

+6-157

Right now 8pm is his usual schedule so I feed him a little bit. I hope I don't mess this up. There is no way to hold off til 2am to feed & what would be his next shot. I know I can get him to eat a little around 2am.
 
+8=160

To get him slowly back on schedule & if he is rising by 1am do you think I should give him insulin? It would make it 1 hr early shooting.
 
Sorry - I was being mathematically challenged for a minute - it's almost midnight EST!

So, the prefered PS time is 8/8?

Your preshots are so much lower than I've ever gotten. I wonder if someone w/ more experience has their eyes on? In the event they have lives...I'll throw out my observation and you can either reel it in or toss it back!

From what I see, you shot a .2 at 207 on 3/16 - and it was a good cycle - and safe numbers. Assuming you're up in that ballpark at 1 am, you might want to consider that. Or... wait a little longer if it gets you closer to the prefered PS time, so you don't have to shift that far to get back there.

Is it easier for you to move your shot back or move it forward? What does your upcoming week look like? There are times I can tweek my time, and other weeks that it would be absolutely impossible, if I want to function, that is. If that's not a factor, then you can go either way. Less sooner, or more later. Final answer Regis. (how's that for being wishy-washy?) :lol:
 
I like your answer for $1000.
I gives me something to think about that I haven't thought about.
That's the good thing about this board. It helps you think about things at different angles.
Thank you!
 
Wow - just catching up - looks like a lot happened since I checked in last.

Regarding moving shot times - often I opt to take Hershey forward rather than try to back his times up, when trying to get him back on schedule. I have tried the backing up and he seems to almost always pull a fast one on me, so I just feel safer moving him forward. Of course, I was moving him forward and finally had him back to 2/2 as of Friday and what did Hershey do...oh, yeah - that was hypo day and now we're at 4 (He thinks he's soooo cute :roll: )...hoping to move it to 3:30 this morning, etc. (but not telling HIM that!)

LOVE all of the pretty blues on Baxter's SS!!!! :RAHCAT
 
Thank you, thank you everyone for your help & encouragement throughout the day. It has helped in so many ways.

No shot right now. I just feed him the rest of what would have been his dinner. Just I case I had to shot. I feel so bad because I feel like I have been starving him. He is being so good for all the test. Sweet, sweet Baxter. He is trying so hard to get hig BG under control with Mr.P. Maybe they have made a agreement to work together.

The plan.....to go to sleep for a little while. Then get up & test him. If there is a rise then I will shot. I hope I can get up. :shock:

Oh no.... ohmygod_smile we might be fashionably late to the OTJ Party for Kitten. Maybe I will take something extra to make it up.
 
I told you MR P was planning on partying all night long!!! I'm assuming we're getting close to wake up time and possibly a shot, and you're not the only one with a P party so I'm just going to make some coffee I think and hang here. With Sue gone it's a lot harder to get help, she was always all over things. Kim and Robin, you're great....but you're not superwomen!

Since we're now talking 0.2 units and below you're in my world. PM me to get my attention if you need help. If we're still looking at a mid blue for AMPS, I would stall for an hour maybe two, test on the 30 minutes. If nothing I would feed and test in a half hour, then on the hour. If you get a rise off the food then you can still shoot a very reduced dose. We're talking drops.
