Glad he picked today to drop to the green! I'm home. Giving him FF w/ gravy. Recheck in 20. Biting nails. Can someone look at his SS and advice, please?

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

First of all...breathe!!

48 isn't life threatening, but it does need to be addressed...You're doing right by giving him some high carb food.....we suggest "squeezing" out the gravy and just giving a teaspoon or two of that (since the gravy is where the carbs are and we don't want to fill them up with lots of food in case we need them to eat later)

He's also earned a reduction!! Down to 1.75....congratulations!!!

 

[Jamye and Fred]

Thanks Chris, I'll remember that next time. He slurped it up and is at 61. I only gave him 1/2 can.
Man I wish I had syringes with 1/4 marks. Can't hardly tell the dif between 1.75 and 2.0.

 

[Anne & Zener GA]

Well done! That is good advice to breathe. This is where calipers might be handy.

[Jamye and Fred]

calipers?

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

Here's some information on Dosing with calipers

You want to recheck in about 30 minutes....the high carb can wear off and he could come back down again

We ALL wish they'd come up with syringes with .25unit markings, but alas, half unit is as good as it gets

 

[Jamye and Fred]

still climbing..... +6 @ 70, he's just chillin on the balcony, enjoying the sun

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

Great! I'd test one more time in about an hour and make sure he's still up and then you can probably take a pokey break, but you might want to get another test at about +11 or +11.5 so if he's still running a little low, you can get some advice on the PMPS tonight

There are times when you might give one more dose of the 2U (if he were to bounce high before PMPS...it's called "shooting through the bounce) and then take the reduction tomorrow, but let's see where he's at at PMPS time

 

[Jamye and Fred]

China is playing the greens today!

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

Yes she is...and I'm loving it!!

 

[Jamye and Fred]

Just tested again +7 @ 64, weird .... went up to 70 and fell to 64...he's snacking on a little food and seems to be feeling fine. Will retest in an hour. Shot time is 9 pm CST.

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

that's ok - but i wouldn't stop testing. The carbs can bring up the blood sugar and then when they wear off, it can bobble back down again.

I'd retest in about 45 minutes.

You're doing everything just right. The longer he stays in green numbers the better - it'll help his body "remember" that these are normal numbers and it'll help reduce the bouncing.

Believe or not tge 40's won't seem as scary after a few times. Great job handling them.

 

[Jamye and Fred]

+8 @ 99 ... I just remembered his shot this morning didn't happen until 10:00 , so he's not due for his PMPS til 10:00 pm

 

[Jamye and Fred]

Fred said he didn't want any more pokin.
