I woke up all in a tizzy because in my broken sleep, I'd set the alarm but not turned it on. I was in time for Felix's insulin, except he needed his sucralfate first, and there're restrictions around when he can eat before and after that. I felt like a horrible momma and feared I'd messed up both his GI problem and his diabetes care disastrously. On more wakeful consideration, the schedule is just a little messed up; we'll adjust everything by 15 minutes at a time and be back on schedule by tomorrow night.

If the sucralfate is making his bg high, I'm glad of it. I'd have a problem steering low numbers since he has windows where he shouldn't eat. And he seems to be enjoying spending time on the beach.

That's the worst feeling to wake up to! Glad things are back on a better schedule now, and looking pretty good today Felix!

+2=288 A speedy retreat from the beach. I need to go out later, so I'm sure glad he didn't make his quick dash in the other direction.

Nice run last night! Looks like you had a pj party too! Hope Felix comes back down slowly for you

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

Looks like you had a pj party too!

I'm still in my PJs. It's that kind of day.

Happy anniversaries: wedding and Beenie Gotcha Day!

Me too!!

Happy anniversaries: wedding and Beenie Gotcha Day!

Thanks!! Beenie and my civvie Ming were our first anniversary present to each other. The gift that keeps on giving

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

What purrfect gifts.

Felix is well into pinks again, but it looks like he may be done climbing (antijinx).

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Okay Felix, break the bounce and let's get you into some better numbers.

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

Felix woke me up at about +7 because he was hungry and I grabbed a test while he had EVO dry, down to 108.

Retested 25 minutes later, down to 89, coaxed him to eat a little canned with Fortiflora (it's usually hard to get him to eat canned, although he's starting to when he's hungry enough).

Twenty minutes later, down to 78: a couple Greenies with Karo drops, won't take more canned.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

Good catch on the greens!

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Felix, what are you doing buddy? Stay where you are, no more dropping!

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

Thanks!

Twenty-five minutes later he's at 76.

He's supposed to have food taken away about now in anticipation of his sucralfate dose in a couple hours. Then his insulin can't be until an hour after that.

 

[Alicia & Maggie (GA)]

Sounds like a real balancing act you have to carry out! Great job!!

 

[MyTitan (GA)]

This is quite a gauntlet you are running. From the outside looking in a marvelous job you are doing!

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

Felix is pretty timid--perhaps you could ask Titan to chase him out of the water and back up onto the beach?

ETA: I was looking at your streak of green last night; now I see Titan needs to call Felix to the beach from the other side.

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

He's still in safe numbers-- great numbers right now, actually! He's lower than you'd like at this time probably because he's broken his bounce, but hopefully his downward momentum has slowed.

Hear that Felix? You can keep paddling, but only in the shallow end!

 

[Susan&Felix(GA)]

89 at +9! I'll keep testing, and hope he won't need food in the next three hours.

He's still in safe numbers-- great numbers right now, actually!

I tried to keep telling myself that, but it sounds better when you say it!
