Sue and Oliver (GA) said:Okay, so she is going lower overnight and bounced a little this am. The question is why you aren't seeing lower numbers in daytime cycle. Maybe she is just more active. Or could she be sneaking some dry food - even little pieces can make a difference.
Sue and Oliver (GA) said:This really is what we were expecting - just earlier than last night. (that's why I was a little nervous about that first night on 1.25) After you raised the dose, we assumed you'd see lower numbers midcycle and you have, but not double digits till last night. It may be that she takes a week to settle into a new dose. Cassie does that too. (bookworm)
It means we are close to a good dose. If you had seen that 80 in the daytime, we would have been thrilled. Just a little nerve wracking to see it at night.
Rob & Harley (GA) said:Hi, very nice night you had last night. That's a little over a 70% drop and just a tiny bounce in the AMPS.
You and Sue make a good team for Rumple.
Rob & Harley (GA) said:It is scary seeing the green numbers at first because we get so used to seeing the pinks and reds.
But the more you see them the more comfortable you will feel with them.![]()
Rob & Harley (GA) said:You are going to want to stay on top of this, green is good but that is an 80% drop in 4 hours and you have a few more hours to go until nadir.
You can stear the numbers with food. Can you feed him some regular low carb food now to slow down the drop? I would also test him again in an hour to see where he is headed. If he's still dropping you could feed him a little medium carb food to bring him up a little. You don't want to let him go lower than 50 without intervening.
You are doing a great job.
BJM said:Using U-40 syringes, it is more difficult to measure precisely for less than half a unit. With the U-100 syringes and conversion chart, it should be easier to do.
Maybe the dose was actually a hair higher than what you had been giving previously.
Whoo hoo! G R E E N !!!
Sue and Oliver (GA) said:If you are worried tonight, you could go back to one unit (assuming you are seeing the 250-300 range). Then see what tomorrow brings and maybe go back to 1.25 at night when you can test the one time.
Rob & Harley (GA) said:If you can't test over night I think I would skinny up the dose a bit tonight just to be safe and to keep you from having to worry about it all night.
Sue and Oliver (GA) said:Have you already given the 1.25?
Sue and Oliver (GA) said:The number is probably a bounce from her lower numbers today. Since this is a night you can't check (right?) I would go with one unit.
Sue and Oliver (GA) said:She'll only bounce if you get a nice blue or green - sometimes the price you have to pay....... :mrgreen:
