Update for Abby's Numbers

[Shana Martin]

So I am considering switching over to the human meter for daily testing because I know practically everyone uses it here... I just don't like how the numbers are like 50 points of a difference but I do like how it doesn't give me 948032 error messages and less blood lol.

I just did a test at +6:
Alpha: 133
Relion: 83
So with those numbers, would I decrease or keep her dose for PM?

how I feel with all this info and not being able to regulate her lol

Hi, Shana.

The big question is which approach to dosing you're using -- Tight Regulation or Start Low Go Slow. If you've not read the stickies describing each approach, you may want to take a look. If you opt for TR, you would hold your current dose. The dose isn't reduced unless the numbers drop below 50. With SLGS, the dose reduction point is 90. I saw the note on your spreadsheet about the Young Again food. If you're using YA, you can only use the SLGS method. With TR, no dry food is allowed.

I would encourage you to try to get at least a "before bed" test every night. Without a test during the PM cycle, you don't know if Abby is dropping into lower numbers and you're missing half of your data.
