? Stalling Gizzy 95

[StephF and Gizzy]

AMPS 319, +5 260, PMPS 95

After the situation the other day I don't know whether to shoot or not.

 

[Kako & Tux]

I've never been in that situation. Sorry... I can't advice.
I'm posting simply to BUMP!

On 04/04 AM you shot a 98

It was a very nice cycle, but he is a cat

He's clearing a bounce today and there is a chance he could keep heading down tonight. Are you able to test tonight and have plenty of supplies? I won't be able to stay with you. I'm getting ready to go to sleep soon.

 

[Veronica & Babu-chiri]

Are you stalling? Has he had anything to eat ? How much can you stall?

 

[StephF and Gizzy]

He ate at 9, 50 minutes ago. I'm up another 3 hours but can test through the night if I have to

 

[Veronica & Babu-chiri]

I'm not an expert but I think that you can wait with out him eating for a while (stall ) and see if he starts going up and then decide.

You should thake into consideration that your schedule will change for the time you wait since you will have to shoot 12 hours from the time you actually shoot

 

[StephF and Gizzy]

He's going up. He 139 now so I think I'll follow my regular protocol. I'll check him again at 11 and 1 and see where we're at. Thanks

This is the sticky with information for when your pre shoot number is lower than usual

That was helpful. Thank you

maybe a token shot, like 1/3rd - 1/2 of a normal dose would've be advisable if you were able to monitor closely throughout the cycle. but I always remember what one member told me once: BG always better to be too high than too low!

 

[StephG]

We had the same situation this morning. We stalled then fed and gave half the dose. He was red by +7. I'm still new at lantus so I can't help much but just wanted to let you know what we did in the same situation.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Looks like you stalled and shot. That was a good option when you are new to lower numbers.

Now that the crisis is over, could you remove the 911 from your subject title? We like to reserve those for medical emergencies.

 

[Veronica & Babu-chiri]

That was helpful. Thank you

Glad it was useful, I'm not very experienced but I'll be around a little longer, do change the prefix so that no one gets over alarmed

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

He ate at 9, 50 minutes ago.

In the future, if you're unsure about shooting, stall, DON'T feed and test again in 20-30 minutes....if the number goes up, its usually OK to go ahead and shoot because the last shot is probably wearing off, but if you feed, you don't know if the number went up due to a food bump or the last shot was wearing off.

 

[StephF and Gizzy]

Thank you. I did realize that I shouldn't have fed when I was stalling because of false numbers. Thank you!
