9/25 jack +4 51, +4.25 50, +4.5 74,+5 79, +6 99

Good morning FDMB! Jack's still bouncing but I guess it's still pretty early and his body is still getting use to his insulin. Hope all is well!

Bring it on down there Jack

 

Work it Jack.

 

OMG! JACKS FIRST GREEN!!! Party time!

 

Woo Hoo! Congrats on the green! Be prepared for a bounce after that, but he isn't holding them long, so he'll see good numbers again soon. Nice of him to do it in the daytime, too.

 

Congrats!

 

Dang it.. stupid bounce lol

 

Yeah, it's pretty much inevitable, but look on the bright side - it lets you sleep!

 

Gooooooooo Jack!! Awesome news!

 

Keepit green Jack

 

Wonderful!!!!!

 

There will be more.

 

And..... the green is gone. Lol I know there will be more to come! Thank you all!

 

Jacks +4 is 51. I gave him some of his regular LC food. He ate it all.. should I give him more or wait to give and check bs in 15 min?

 

I just looked at Jack's spreadsheet. Was his PMPS 224?
If it was I think I would go ahead and give him something higher carb to slow down.

 

Yes it was. Ok will do. Just tested again and is 50 now.

 

Okay, good. Do you have medium or high carb food? Just a couple of teaspoons and another test in 20-30 minutes. We don't want him to drop below 50.

 

Well he got back to green quite quickly!

So he seems flat 15min later, he may well have slowed himself down, you could stick with some higher LC if you have some. Or MC se if he will surf for you. But as he's sailing close to the wind I would keep on top of the testing

 

I have HC food and fed him a tablespoon will test him again in a few minutes

 

He sure did lol very unexpected! I unfortunately only have LC and HC but will put MC food on my shopping list. I try just giving like a teaspoon of HC and test every 15 min.

 

Give him 20min from feeding I know it's nerve racking, but you've got this.
A tablespoon is quite a lot, gobeasy with the food at this stage you may need him to eat more later.
Is he a good eater?

 

Yes test 15-20min after the food.

@Barbara & Uncle I'm just getting up now got to go and feed the gang so busy the next 45min or so, but can hang with these guys later if you need to get to bed. Btw lovely to see you hope you're keeping well

 

74 now.

He is a very good eater. It's his favorite thing to do.. besides talking. Eat and talk but will still give only a teaspoon just in case. Will check him again in 20 min

 

I used to "make" my own MC by mixing the LC food and the HC food in equal parts.

 

Lol duh... silly me. I feel a little sheepish. Thanks for the tip

 

Ha Ha. Someone on the board gave me that tip after I said the same thing you did about having to go buy MC food.
And I love math, go figure....

 

I'll make sure to pass it forward when I see someone add MC food to their grocery list lol
It's been 20 minutes and bs is 79.. feed him MC or let him be and test in 30 min?

 

Great, I'd be tempted to let Jack be and test him in an hour from now.
What do you think Gill?

 

Sorry, I meant 40 minutes from now, which would be about an hour without food influence.

 

Ok will do. Thank you for all your help!

 

Agreed, that would take us to +6, is that correct Angela?
Do you think you could update the numbers on the ss when you get a moment. It's much easier to keep track of what's transpired at a glance, in case anyone else wants to chime in.

The HC can wear off up to two hours later and that can cause a dip in the numbers, he got a nice bump from the hc, so he may just surf for you, as the cycle progresses and the insulin action wanes it becomes more likely that he will flatten out if you get good duration. The HC may cause the cycle to fizzle out sooner and we may see his numbers rise significantly before amps.

Time will tell

 

I'll check in on uou later.

 

Great AM cycle for Jack!
(It was 6 months before we saw our first green...)

And look how quickly he cleared that bounce!

Housekeeping tip (how we express 15 min increments)
15min= .25
30min= .5
45min= .75

So ...
+4 was 51
+4.25 was 50
+4.5 was 74

Now, some music for the balance of the cycle...

 

Woohoo. +6 is 99. when should I test again?

 

You're in good hands and it's 1 am here so I'm signing off.
All the best to you and Jack. I'll take a look tomorrow to see how the rest of the cycle went

 

I would give it another hour. Let's see what other's say...

 

Thank you for your help! Good night!

 

+7,
As he is still rising I would with hold food at this stage and see where he is at in an hour , if he is flat or rising at that point, the excitement should be over.
I'll be around, so please post the number you get, so I know you are OK, otherwise I'll worry.

 

Nite nite Barbara.

 

Will do and thank you for keeping an eye on us!

 

You're welcome, @Sandy and Black Kitty used to keep an eye on me when I was a newbie, I love it when she plays the surf music.

 

+7 207 looks like it is time for me to go to sleep.. I'm so exhausted. Thanks again!
