Then they will bounce off each other, the insulin will be losing steam, then and if the fluids kick in she should be starting to go up. You have more to worry about with the insulin and it seems to be already slowing down.

Nice number! Hang in there, you are doing great. You will have a big glass of wine with your name on it for later. :mrgreen:

At this point I say yes. Intervene at 50, we can deal with the high numbers later.

You like %'s .... What I see on your SS is an average of a 30-40% drop and 2 times her #'s went up .... so #'s person you may only be seeing that 100 point drop but you need to look at her averages. and yes, 50 or under a teaspoon at a time.

No don't freak out!!!! This is a NORMAL number, and the insulin is at peak. This is what you want. A remember too, it's not like if she touches 50 she is going to hypo, that's just the lower end of what is still a safe number.
How is she acting? Is she acting hungry? I would certainly let her eat LC or MC if she wants to eat. If she isn't acting hungry, then she is fine. If YOU are freaked out, you could give her 2-3 bites of HC. I don't think a small quantity will send her high. There's no need to based on the numbers and timing in the cycle. But do what you need to to stay sane!!!

Let me just add you should do what you think is right, even if it is not what I say! I once let Bix eat as much HC as he wanted when I thought he was dropping too fast, and I got YELLED at, LOL! But you know what, it was what I had to do to keep myself from complete panic, and based on the data I got from that, I learned that he didn't need to eat a lot of HC to bring his numbers up. So it was a learning experience.
If you think she is unsafe and needs HC then by all means give her some! Just get the data so you know how she reacts, so you will continue to learn what works & what doesn't, and that helps each time you need to make new decisions.

Me either, although for me watching grandkids go through it is easier because you're not on the battlefield but still painful.
Glad your here Nancy.

It is a good # .... if you were at +1 then we would worry .... depending on how low she goes, don't panic! you may want to reduce your PM shot. Breathe ....

Yeah we West Coasters get confuzed easy! I kept thinking this was your AM cycle too, but I guess it's your PM shot already halfway to morning. It's still early here!!!!

After tonight she may be more sensitive to the insulin. So yes, I would lower your AMPS.
nancy and payne

Have you broke out the HC yet?

Especially if she is eating a little more now, she should be good! Maybe a nice surf! Don't be surprised if you see a red number in a few hours, that's typically how it goes.
