2/24-25 Andy - 351 pmps; 353 +7 (AT2); 238 amps

Previous

After pmps, used AT2 for testing - running short of strips - expect them today. Amps is Arkray meter.
My AT2 reads abt 40 higher in 300's so 353 would be abt 313 for comparison.

 

Well, Andy had to be dramatic with that bounce from the 34!

I hope your strips arrive today!

 

Wowsa! A 34! Glad he came up for you. So far he's pretty flat today. Maybe it'll be a flat yellow cycle and he'll slide down tonight or tomorrow.

 

Sorry I missed your post yesterday; I wasn’t on the board.

I understand you didn’t have enough strips to test yesterday a.m. cycle and he dropped. Of course, that would have been the perfect cycle to catch the drop and see what %carb food would keep him from dropping so low. My suggestion is that you always have more strips around than you think you’ll need. I never let myself get below 300 in case I had an issue getting them.

I want to be sure you understand that you can’t equate a number on the AT to a number on the Arkray. I’ve done a ton of testing with my Micro and an AT2 and entered some of the data on a tab on Gracie’s SS. You’ll see that the numbers were never consistently a specific amount apart. I want to strongly discourage you from thinking that your two meters are always 40 apart. That’s going to give you a false sense of security.

Andy is a long-term diabetic so you want to reduce his dose when he drops below 40 although sometimes, depending on the situation, we might not take back-to- back reductions (if he goes below 40 two cycles in a row) due to the depot.
