Teasel This Week 4

Still doing OK on Lantus. There's a little more breathing room at his current dose so I'll stay there for a bit. The runs of dark green are nice but they require constant focus on testing and snack intervention to maintain them - not sustainable.

 

Definitely don't want to burn out

 

Son of a gun! How about a low dark green to start my day?! This boy is always surprising ...

 

He has to keep you on your toes or what's the fun of being a cat?

 

Very nice cycle today after a scary AMPS. I didn't have to steer with food at all - exactly what I like in a "good numbers" cycle. It unfolded on its own. No heroic efforts on my part to keep things on an even keel.

 

Wow! That is a really lovely cycle!

 

Exciting times in Teasel land! Looking awesome

 

As a newbie, who has been scouring posts and SS, I can't figure out why a AMPS shot number is in the green then after insulin it goes up to blue? Is it just the wackiness of insulin. Oooo or is it after feeding and food influenced? I just tested Beenie and her number went up since PMPS, she was fed two hours prior. Here I am thinking I'll hopefully get a yellow again since I eliminated the sugar laced turkey deli meat from 6:30am this morning.

Marathon, marathon.....no sprinters here . Just venting. I just got impatient

Teasel's colors look awesome

 

Teasel is on a different insulin. Kris gives him Lantus. It's a depot insulin and behaves quite differently than Prozinc. You can hop over to the Lantus forum and read up about it. They have a ton of great Stickies over that explain it.

 

It's often up because of the food they've eaten. Usually by +3 or so that food effect is gone so you can see the insulin's action. Sometimes the BG will drop after a meal because the pancreas is sputtering and putting out a bit of its own insulin in response to the food.

 

Well, Teasel seems to want less juice these days. Look where his BG is this evening - lime green! No shot this PM and dose is going down 0.25 u tomorrow AM.

 

You're getting a nice little run of reductions lately! Keep it up, Teasel!

 

Way to go Teasel!

 

Coming back from the NS quite nicely. I like Djamila's idea of us putting a link here to our L Land posts:
