    It will probably take a day or two before you see any difference... So maybe start on say Thursday morning? That way it will have kicked in for Saturday

    Any chance I can persuade you to get an extra test in every day, before bed? It would provide so much more info...

    Hello all


    If anyone is out there this early, could you give me a bit of advice?

    I did the curve last weekend, and it seemed we should raise Maggy up to .75 units. I didnt want to do it on Monday due to me not being around to monitor, so we figured I'd start Thursday. Well, I started yesterday because I just felt he would be alright. He's acted totally normal and been fine, but this morning his number is 96. I'm just not sure if I should shoot considering I didn't do a curve . This tells me that I should have just waited until Friday to do this so I could do a curve Saturday. BUT , this is the reality right now. I'm going to hold off feeding and retest in about 45 minutes (when I need to leave for work) and make a determination then. I figure if he's not above 100, I should probably hold off all together?

    Thanks

    Ok, so , see my last post, and then read this.

    I did a test 45 min after that 95, and i got a 90. Then I did one 20 min later and got 82. I"m skipping this morning because I can't monitor anymore and I need to leave.

    Expecting to be high tonight? Still .75 tonight ?

    It may be high tonight. That's expected when you skip.

    Or ... it might be low if the pancreas has started kicking in again. Sometimes that happens.

    Skipping was the right decision. He will likely be high tonite as a result though and I would give the 0.75 again - and get a before bed test for sure!! Its great to see a green but we need to do some tests to make sure he isnt going too low.

    Can you start a new thread tonite? I missed the 911 because it was hidden in here. Also we are running to 5 pages!
