Remind me why your spreadsheet cuts off at +8 in the p.m. cycle? I can’t see anything after +8.

The columns were just hidden because I don't have any info there.

Each time she goes below 90 she gets a reduction.

We were doing a 70 reduction number but still that's a reduction. But what do I reduce to tomorrow morning? 0.8?

67 @ + 6.5, but we are staying calm this time.
She ate a little an hour ago, all LC.
Will only start panicking if she doesn't start coming up at the next test.

Perfect cycle so far!!!

This is another reduction earned now isn't it?

Technically yes, following SLGS. But, you didn't technically take a full reduction tonight.
Suzanne & Darcy said:
So I guess really we should have given her the full reduction back down to 1 unit, at least with following SLGS.

I was thinking in this instance, and this instance only, specific for Evie, try 1.0u tomorrow because the full reduction wasn't taken.

@AliceL How do you feel about the greens now?

Nervously optimistic? I wish I had a chance to get used to a few greens before having full on green curves. Today when I saw 63 @ +5.5 my soul just about left my body hehe, I am so not prepared for what this all means and of course very nervous about hypos.

Honestly I'm not the expert and especially when it comes to managing the low numbers. I will follow what you or Suzanne think is best in this situation. Today has exhausted me.

This is what we need to know. Your comfort level is one of our main concerns.

That being said I am willing to try 1U tomorrow and if that pushes her down below 70 then we reduce back to 0.8U.

If you try 1.0u you'll more than likely still see green, just hopefully nudge it up a bit more.
Suzanne & Darcy said:
I think that is a good idea to try. Can you write in your signature “SLGS: Reductions at 70”

Thanks Suzanne!
(I am such a slooooow writer :()
 
Signature updated.

Last thing before bed, what do you think my new no shoot number should be?
This morning I delayed her insulin so long while I tried to figure out what to do with 175/188 AMPS.

Thanks to both of you for holding my hand through this!

Well I feel very confident in your ability to handle greens now. And yes, you have had a really exhausting day. You started early.
 
Well, should it really be a no shoot number — or should it be a “shoot a reduced dose number?” And then what, like a half dose or what? Because her dose is not really large already.
 
The usual recommendation for SLGS in the beginning is to not shoot at below 150. But as you gather data that number can be reduced down. Also you can stall if you have time. This morning she really didn’t go up much though.
 
Ok, thanks. I'll see what tomorrow brings, I'm off to bed. It's been 22 hrs awake and 17 glucose tests today.
Evie is a little irked with me, just look at this annoyed face :smuggrin:

Anyway, at this point in our journey, I would hesitate to shoot the full dose below 150. We don’t have data to support this. That could change very quickly though as we see how she does with the reduced dose of 1 unit — and perhaps.8 if we find she needs it.
