Shaak, AMPS 124, 132; March 6, 2016

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

AMPS 124, 132

I will test again three hours after she eats.

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Sounds good!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+2 94

 

[Andy & Pimp]

+2 94

That's some help from Mr P for sure!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

She is really doing well. Makes me cautiously happy.

 

[Andy & Pimp]

Makes me cautiously happy.

You should be! She's gotten herself into normal numbers with no exogenous insulin!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I keep thinking it is just a dream, or that everytime I take her BG it is a fluke and the next one will be sky high. Each time I say over and over, BE LOW, BE LOW, BE LOW.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

PMPS 133, 135

numbers not as good tonight, still under 140 though. If it were morning I would probably be willing to shoot a drop but with it being night I don't want to do that.

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

I can understand that. Is your day clear enough that you could shoot and monitor if the amps is high enough?

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I think so, yes. I can be home till +6 tomorrow.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

why is it her +2's just a few hours after eating are lower than her PS levels?

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

That isn't unusual for N. It often has a harsh onset with the insulin bringing the levels down early in the cycle. She will have eaten earlier, but that meal is either gone or not enough to stop the drop. The trick is to give food at +2 to help stop the drop and hopefully start a surf in a flatter range.

 

[Marje and Gracie]

It will be interesting to see what she does tomorrow morning.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I had not realized I never posted her AM +2
AM +2 94

PMPS 133

PM+2 102

so my question is what would have happened if I had given her insulin tonight even though she was higher than 125 for her PMPS

I mean with no insulin on board?

[Critter Mom]

I mean with no insulin on board?

Means her pancreas is pulsing insulin in response to the incoming food.
