Yesterday

I am so thankful that Rhubarb's sugar wasn't too high when I woke up! I just couldn't stay up last night. On the plus side, having skipped enabled me to bring the shot time closer to what I want. I also learned this weekend that when dead tired and waking up stupid early, I can fall back asleep. So I think I want to shift the shot time even earlier, so I get more evening hours in for testing. 6 or 630 maybe.

Rhubarb did great yesterday on her reduction, but with the skip last night, her depot may be depleted enough to show how the dose reduction really works for her.

I hope everyone and their kitties has a great day!

 

Nice start for Rhubarv considering no shot last night. I hope the reduction goes well for her and she keeps her green numbers going

 

Nice start there Rhubarb let's see some blues or green

 

Sorry no one got back to you last night. Not a bad start for a skipped shot. Nice that you can move the time around now.

 

I've been finding that a lot of times now, I already have a fair idea what I should do, and am just looking for input from the experienced because I could be wrong . Last night was the first since near the beginning where my brain just sat and spun. When nobody could reply, I opted for sleep, because my brain obviously wasn't working very well!

I hope nobody ever feels sorry for not being around. We all have our own lives, and once we have done the dance a little bit, we get an idea of what the failsafes are. As advice givers I believe we need to know that a person won't do something drastic if no advice is available- it's easier on our sanity.

 

Rhubarb is definitely on a mission! Big drop to +2

She isn't eating as much now. I'm hoping it's still enough for her initial meal. She maybe is eating 0.2-0.5oz before shot. I give small meals through day, or leave out enough if away. She grazes.

 

Nice start. I give Jones his shot at 630 am/pm. I have perfected the art of get up t/f/s and back to bed to cuddle on Sat and Sunday!

 

Whoo 3.6 mmol@+4! And that's having ate a little at +3.5

 

+5 is 50 and I have to leave for work. Eek! Leaving out some mc

 

Surf safely, Rhubarb!

I loved the photo of your civvie you posted the other day. I love your avatar, too--very expressive. You must be very well behaved, with two such formidable kitties to keep you in line.

 

Was able to stop home between jobs and she's at 76.

 

Gave a slightly on the skinny side 0.1U
Gave her the usual lc with a 1/4 tsp DM to hopefully help her surf.
Have my comfy pjs ready ... at what nadir would I want to consider going to a drop? *knocks on wood* shhh

 

56@+2
Going to need my pjs for sure :/

 

@Chris & China

Should I be worrying about such a significant drop at +2?
Sorry to bug you again

 

You're not bugging me (or anybody else)...that's what we're here for

Yes, I'd go ahead and feed her a little of her low carb food and test again in 20-30 minutes

 

It is both exciting and scary to see the low numbers. I know there is a buffer before she actually would be hypo, though it's a bit of a dance and I want her safe ...but man, all the greens! That's my girl

 

58@+3
She's more interested in mc than lc, so just gave 1/2 tsp of mc instead of her whole tsp lc

 

77@+3
With the tiny bit of mc, she was more interested in her lc too

 

@Chris & China
Should I be ok to sleep, leaving out her normal nightly lc?

Is she still staying high enough to warrant staying on 0.1U?

 

They always love the "good stuff"

It's kind of like asking your 5yr old if they'd rather have broccoli, mac & cheese or chocolate cake....LOL

 

I'd get at least one more test in to make sure she doesn't come back down after the MC wears off.

Yes, stick with the .1….she didn't quite earn the reduction yet

 

LOL
Will grab another test in 15 min or so.
It's been about an hour since the little bit of mc. She's had some lc since.

 

The next reduction is earned if Rhubarb goes under 50 or spends a week in normal numbers (green). At this point, we’d like to see lots of green.

 

85@+5
Bedtime!
Thanks for the help- have a good night
