Shaak, AMPS 185, Feb. 27, 2016

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

AMPS 185 still under 200 and last night she dropped below 100 on just 0.25 u, I am very hesitant to shoot this morning based on what she has been doing with preshot numbers not as low as this.

Don't want you to do anything you're not comfortable with. Will you be able to monitor today?

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

I agree. Unless you can monitor and feel comfortable giving say - a drop - then skip. We need to get you confident about measuring a drop so you can do that and see whether she stays flatter but in lower ranges.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I really want to give a drop, I think surely I can manage that.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I think it was closer to 0.25 than one drop, I did my best to get it right under 0.25

shot given

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Good job, Cathie.

It is usually best to give a little insulin than to give none at all unless you are leaving and there's no way for you to get back home for a test.

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

So we expect her to drop at +2. Maybe a small snack at +1 or +2 will slow the drop? If she isn't in the greens, I'd skip a snack and just monitor

You're doing such a good job for her, Cathie

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+2 155

not a huge drop at all.

[Andy & Pimp]

Did you get a +3?

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+3 138

+4 128

sorry, was running back and forth and not able to stop long enough to post.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+5 137

Look at Shaak surfing those blues

 

[Andy & Pimp]

Nice cycle! Good choice on the dose

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

I am glad it has been a good cycle. Praying for another good one tonight!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

PMPS no different than last night with no shot. Not sure what that means though?

 

[Marje and Gracie]

She was able to stay in mid 200s on her own but tonight is just no duration so she goes up because, by now, there is no insulin left. I bet she will come back down if you shoot what you shot last night.

Nice cycle today!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

sounds like a plan for the night.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

shot given 0.25 u

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+2 172

 

[Marje and Gracie]

I knew it. At least she is predictable!

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

That she definitely seems to be.

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

+3 164

not nearly as good as last night though.

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Flat though!,

 

[Cathie and Shaak Ti (GA)]

yes, that it is.
