Good evening everyone! Here we go again with greens in the evening! Ugh! Let’s see what +4 gives me. Yes, I want him to stay in the greens but not when I can’t stay up with him.

 

[Charlotte and Lucky’s mom]

Ugh! So much for going to bed before midnight! Fed HC at +4.

 

[Charlotte and Lucky’s mom]

So, HC has done it’s job for now. Had I not checked him at +4 he clearly would have dipped down below 50 so can I assume that it would be wise to decrease by .25 U tomorrow am? The remainder of the curve was obviously food driven to maintain safe numbers so I feel he earns a reduction. What’s the consensus??

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Good job catching that 53. I would hold the dose. He is looking good on this dose.

Ugh so unnerving at night! I’m not well versed in decreases at all unfortunately - we tried one and it didn’t work, so I don’t know that I have advice for you, but I do hope you get some sleep and he has a safe rest of the evening!

My only consolation is that I’m off work tomorrow!

At least there’s that!

You don’t decrease unless you see the drop under 50. Hold the dose. You want him to spend as much time between 50-100 as possible.

Yes, I understand we want the low numbers but he would have hit the lime had I not instinctively checked. Now I’m feeding the curve to keep him afloat. He is starting to go down again without any food.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

He is starting to go down again without any food.

83 and 80 are within meter variance. His last meal was HC at +4?

 

[tiffmaxee]

You hold the syringe. He came up easily and mc might have had the same effect. When they need a reduction they earn it in spite of how hard we try to prevent one. The choice is yours.

His last HC meal was at +4.25 BG 62. +5.5 now at 70. Fed 1tsp HC. I was hoping to go to bed but he’s waffling now without the food.

 

[Charlotte and Lucky’s mom]

+6 reading was after 1tsp HC at +5.5; getting late and I have to get up for him again in 6 hours for his AMPS so thinking of feeding half MC with half HC for the rest of the curve.

He will probably stay up with LC since he is past his nadir. Feeding higher carbs will send him to the moon by AMPS.

Oh well it’s already In His content tummy! I have to get some sleep so I played it safe. I will probably have to pay the piper tomorrow.

I second Bhooma and Elise, you want them to stay as long as possible/safe on a good dose and this is a good dose for Lucky. The idea is to regulate them and unless they will be spending time in green and then bounce and then go back to green they will not have the conditions to become regulated.
I saw that every week for 3 days you don’t have the chance to take any tests in between shots because of work, have you considered SLGS? It would give you the possibility to decrease the dose when he would be hitting 90 and overall is a less “aggressive” dosing method.

hope you will manage to get some good night sleep tonight
