Charley 2/26

He's not bad but has a little room to move down. You've given him a while to react to .75. I like to see dose changes when you will be around to monitor. Could you take a nap today and plan to get some numbers around nadir tonight? You could be cautious and just go up to .8 or so (U100 syringes?) What do you think?
 
I'm using u40's so even the .75 is eyeballed. His vet is already upset and just stared at me when I pressed about the u100's. I know, we need a new vet.
 
That is a surprise! It's pretty close to 200. How about waiting 20 minutes to see if it goes up (without feeding). That would have been a long time to settle into a dose, if that is what is happening.
 
Husband fed him already. He thinks I'm overdoing it on testing. I told him I'm probably not testing enough.
 
This makes it hard. Now you won't be able to tell whether the number is sure rising and how much it has to do with the food. Darn, it was looking great.

What do you think, Robin?
 
I was going to say it's dicier now. The last blue number you shot .25u into it but you were coming down off a bounce and it didn't do anything.

Today isn't a bounce and it looks like the .75u was a little too much so I'm leaning toward the .25u again. Thoughts Sue?
 
We are trying to do what is right. My husband keeps telling me to calm down, but now I'm over analyzing everything and constantly worrying that I'm going to give him too much insulin and he'll hypo. I went ahead and gave him a skinny .5 before I read your responses. Oh geez.
 
It's okay. It's most likely he was headed up. He should be fine.




You need to tell DH that he needs to be fed after you get a shootable number. :mrgreen: Does he realize how well you and Charley are doing?
 
The .5 skinny should be okay. Just for future reference, if you can get a test within the first 30 minutes after DH feeds him, it should not include any boost from eating. It takes at least that long for the food to start getting digested in his belly. An hour after eating, you'd see some "Food boosted BG", but right after eating you wouldn't.

Breath baby breath.

You know how to handle low numbers right? Not that I think you are going to see them but if you have the tools to steer the numbers back up you can avoid the freak out, knowing that you can handle it. If not let us know and we can get you set up.

I used to call that overanalyzing freak out "hyper adrenalin overdrive". Try not to spend too much time doing that. You get a fresh start in 12 hours.

He does for the most part. He sees me getting so upset and there really isn't anything he can say or do to make the situation better - so he keeps quiet.He offers to help, which for him is the feeding part. I do all the pokes - bg testing and insulin.

We are stocked with all the needed tools: karo, high carb Friskies shreds with gravy, and dry Purina ONE.
 
OK, so food hit and insulin hasn't kicked in yet. Not a pattern you normally see, but not too many PM +2's on the spreadsheet so it many happen and you have just not seen it when it does.

283 @ +4. He has never done this. Definitely not a fur shot. Heading to bed. Good night all. Hoping he and all of our babies will be ok.
