Nico broke his 300 streak!! 1/30: AMPS 407, +4 377

[Emily Tuomey]

Currently wolfing some gravy Friskies.

How much should I let him eat?

 

[Shelley & Jess]

Not too much an tsp or so. He's already had temptations.

Okay well it’s a bit more than that (I’d say a tablespoon, maybe), so his next test should be markedly better.. How soon should I retest?

 

[Shelley & Jess]

Do another one 30 minutes from the last one, see where he's headed.

 

[Shelley & Jess]

He'll be okay. And probably a little over carb'd now. Next time reach for the wet food first and test every 20 to 30 minutes until you see the numbers rising.

Of extra concern here, that 40 came 'early' in the cycle, the insulin still hadn't reached it's peak.

Right. That was my concern too. Next time a little less wet food— live and learn! He’s on his way up now, 82.

(PS. Why are you not sleeping right now?!!)

I'm asking myself that same question!

Hahaha!! (Let it also be known, I’ll start a new thread tomorrow )

 

[Emily Tuomey]

So assuming I should test again in like ten minutes. What number is high enough to try to catch at least an hour or two of sleep? — just in case I lose you to dreamland.

 

[JanetNJ]

Exciting night! And this is why we test. Nice catch, and yes, time for a dose Redick to 2.25

He's over naidar now and heading back up.

I will never say no to more tests. Let's see what kind of rise he's got going. Will be good information to refer back on to determine what/how much to feed next time. And then get some sleep

Sleep is coming!! +7.5, 164.

Will reduce his dose in the morning. Crazy kid!

 

[Shelley & Jess]

Do I need to test every half hour??

Next time reach for the wet food first and test every 20 to 30 minutes until you see the numbers rising.

Test (and feed if needed) every 20 minutes when in lime green numbers until you see the BG begin to rise to safe numbers. Then continue to test until you are satisfied Nico is out of danger - includes taking in to consideration where you are in the cycle and what you fed LC/MC/HC, wet or dry to bring those numbers up.

Thank you for this. I’m not sure I know the difference between MC and HC, so I will have to do some research on those today— see what my options are. We are safely supremely high now so not to worry. AMPS, 407. And dose decreased to 2.25u.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s back to bed I go.. <whistles>
