164 AMPS
He's eating and had meds and .5 dose.
We'll see what the day brings.

Adding more coffee

 

Morning, Patty.

I see Blue's already donned his Speedos...

LMAO

 

233 +2.5 Ha ha ha never know what to expect.

 

Blue sure is a puzzle.

 

I had this on standby:





Finished his dip and now he's catching some rays.



(((Blue)))

Mogs you make me giggle.

 

Nice to know I'm good for somethin', Jeanne.


Mogs

silly girl! we treasure you

 

Right back atcha! (((Jeanne)))

Well, I woke up from a nap and Blue's on the move. He's 65 +5 and it's almost feeding time so he's eating his regular LC.
I'll test again soon after he finishes and report in.

 

Hi Patty,

If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest giving him his snack sooner rather than later. Not much wiggle room at 65. As always, don't fill him up too much in case you need to steer him over the next couple of hours.


Mogs

He's up to 90 now.
I am going out in an hour and should be gone an hour.
What do you think I should feed?

 

Hey Mogs,
It was his normal feeding time so he ate. He's up to 90.

 

Just seen this. Looking at SS. Be straight back...

.

 

Will there be anyone there while you're out, Patty?

.

 

Yes, my brother can come up and give food if you think. I can give him something before I leave. What are you thinking?

 

I suggest grabbing a test about 15 minutes before you leave for safety.

- If he's over 100 give him an LC snack and ask your brother to give him another LC snack in an hour (just in case you might get delayed).

- If he's 90-100 give him an MC snack and ask your brother to give him a LC snack in an hour.

- If he's 70-80 post reading before you go. If you don't get a prompt answer give a HC snack and ask your brother to give him a HC snack at 30 minutes and again at 60 minutes.

- If he's below 70 consider cancelling your excursion. (I think he's unlikely to be that low, but he's Blue - and if he goes that low at this point in the cycle then that merits closer monitoring.)

What do you think?


Mogs
.

 

Yes, sounds like a plan.

He's holding at 91 so I'm giving him a little MC food.

 

Cool. If your brother notices anything unusual ask him to feed extra. Not sure whether you can leave food down for Blue exclusively, but if yes that's another option.

Keep safe while you're out.

Ha ha, Blue doesn't leave any food in the bowl anymore. He's scarfs it down so fast. I have everything set up for him. Food in the bowl in the fridge. I will test again as soon as I return. Thanks Mogs.

 

He's at 128 +9 but he looks tired and sleepy.

 

Hi Patty,

Glad you're home safe.

Glad to catch this before I sign off for the night. Did Blue get any more food after you fed him the MC snack before you went out and before that test? If he did get the second snack, what was the carb level and how long after he ate it was the test done? (Trying to get a sense of what gave that nice moderate rise for future reference.)

I put a bowl of LC with a small amount of MC in the fridge for Ray to feed +8 and I had given him MC before I left. I tested upon returning and he was 128 +9. I had him feed earlier at 5:30 instead of 6 which would have been +7.5. I was worried. Then on the way home I was worried because I was 10 minutes late. It was so fun to be out!!!

You gone for the night? Hope you can get some sleep. Love to the Noodle.

 

Thanks for that info, Patty. Between the BG readings and the food notes it's gradually helping you to 'learn Blue' and you'll get a better and better feel for what to feed and when. It's great that Ray was able to help the two of you today. I was glad to know he was there to watch over your Bluebird.

Heading off now. Passed on your love to the Noodler and she just gave me lots of nose kisses. I think they must be for you! Be sure to give that beautiful boy of yours lots of scritches from me.

Wishing you both a safe and smooth night.

(((Patty and Blue)))

Thanks Mogs and Noodle
Sweet dreams

 

gnite Patty fixin dinner getting ready for game 1

 

I'll be cheering with you guys. Enjoy

 

Hi Patty. I’m watching the game too but I’ll check in on you. Blue is looking so good. Could be another busy night.

 

Go Dodgers!
Glad I took a nap.

 

Oops pardon me. Anti-jinx.

 

146 PMPS he's eating LC and I'm a little early so still need to give him .5

What's the point where I wouldn't give insulin? 130 is what I was told from the vet, but I've already shot lower...it was daytime though.

I'm going to give him his insulin at 146. I just wonder for future reference.

 

Can you monitor tonight if necessary, Patty?

 

So shooting in a little less than 10 minutes, right? Get a +2 and I’ll check in then.

 

She took a nap today, lol.

 

Yes, but probably can't stay up all night. I can get up every couple of hours. That's what I did last night.

 

I did take a nap!

 

That should work. You can always give some hc if at any point you need to sleep longer. If he’s blue like last night you won’t be able to sleep from +5 to +10. Let’s see the +2. Last night I would have had you stop at +7.

 

I know but I was so worried. Even from the last test to AMPS. I had bad dreams about him that last 3 hours. I'll get more used to it. He's going lower now.

 

Better to be worried than complacent.

 

He's at 165 +2 now.

Dodgers win

 

I’d get a +4.

 

We posted at exactly the same time but yours showed up first. Yes,one down. Three to go.

 

Okay will do. You going to be around? If not, I think I know what to do.

 

I’ll be up for the +4 and then call it a night. So if you need help then let me know.

 

It's going to be 2:00 a.m. here. I'll be back. Thanks

 

98 +4

You must have fallen asleep Elise. I'm feeding him LC and will test again at 3:00 which is in about half an hour from now.

Sleep well.

 

I did. I’m back. Did you get another test? Looks like you are dong ok.

 

Yes, I just tested and he's 149 +5

 

Good. You can call it a night. He’s on his way up. You feel that too?

 

Yes, I do. Thanks. Sweet dreams.

 

You too.

 

I marvel at your dedication Patty and EVERYONE that stays up so late to help Patty and many others I dont even see on the other forums here. Well done everyone ...you too Blue!

 

I didn’t expect a red amps! Blue never ceases to surprise!

 

Ha ha me either! Crazy.

 

Blue has a secret stash... come Blue SHARE
