3/30 CRYSTAL PMPS 240 - 1u "R" given +6.5 194

yesterday

Hi all,

Anyone from "team Crystal" online to give me some guidance? Definately thinking of using R tonight as she seems very reluctant to come down on her own. Julie mentioned a dose of 1.5u a couple of posts ago so think I will go with that but would just like confirmation. Have everything on board (lots of strips, HC, honey etc) She seems well in herself apart from high flat numbers very frustrating.

A couple of days ago, Julie suggested trial 1.5U of R if she's over 300, given that 1U just held her flat. I might go with 1U if she's just in the high 200's. Just my unexperienced opinion. Good luck with the R tonight.

Thanks Wendy, it all depends on that PMPS number in just under an hour.

Okay, going ahead with 1u R as PMPS was 240....... be back at +1, paws crossed.

Good luck with the R. Will be watching on the sidelines.

+1 246 bbl at +2
Thanks Peg for watching our progress (or not, as the case may be)

Given that Crystal often goes up after preshot when she's in mid yellow or lower, holding steady can be a good thing. It makes the job of the Levemir easier once it reports for duty at onset.

+2 239. Hi Wendy, thanks for checking in on us. All okay at the moment.

 

[suki & crystal (GA)]

+3 232

 

[suki & crystal (GA)]

+4 214, coming down nicely, do you think it's okay to give her a small snack now, or wait a little longer?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

I'd feed her as you normally do. Looks like 1U does keep her fairly flat. Next up might be a test for 1.5U.

 

[Suzanne & Cobb(GA)]

Just checking in as well. I like that you are seeing the 1uR is keeping her fairly flat. That's a good indication that you might see a little more movement with 1.5uR.

Hi Wendy and Suzanne, thanks for checking in on Crystal and confirming okay to feed her, she's just making vigorous biscuits on her blanket at the moment. At least we have established that 1.5u would be a good figure to try next time round.

 

[Suzanne & Cobb(GA)]

I think it is fine to feed her, yes. No reason I see not to, especially if she's hungry!

 

[Peg and Toby]

At least the R kept her numbers down today. No we haven't had to use the R for awhile. His
numbers a staying pretty good at the moment.( anti-jinx) I hope Crystal starts seeing the blue again soon.

 

[suki & crystal (GA)]

+5.5 210, if only she would come down just a little into the blues... Will stay up for another test and if no great change, time for bed.

+6.5. 194 way to go Crystal!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

I see BLUE! WAHOO! Go Crystal - blue is very pretty on a kitty!

Good job stepping out and trying the R this evening (morning for me.) The more you use it, the more confident you'll feel about when to use it and when to pass on it. You may see more of a response later because the R kept her flat and in a lower range, allowing the Lev to work better. Something to watch for and notice if you see it.

+7. 192. @julie & punkin (ga) - love the blue kitty - do you think it's safe for me to hit the sack, nearly 1.30 and having trouble staying awake now. Don't think she will go much lower, what do you think?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Looks like she is surfing. I think you are OK to call it a night.

 

[Peg and Toby]

Way to go Crystal. So glad to see the blue!!!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

Hopefully you saw Wendy's response and are at this very moment, getting some sleep!

 

[suki & crystal (GA)]

Thanks guys and guess what - 163 at AMPS. First blue PS since March 21 . An excellent start to the day!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

Yay!!!

 

[Peg and Toby]

Way to go Crystal. Keep up the good work.
