May 18, 2019 Condo - Failed Reduction

Good morning everyone!
So we increased yesterday morning after the failed reduction, and I was hoping to see some downward momentum. He had a bit of it, but then held those gross yellows the whole night. To say I'm dismayed that his BGs are not moving is an understatement. I went back and reviewed his usual tendencies after increases and he's usually responding by the second cycle. The fact that he hasn't yet here is a bit nerve wracking. I'm just hoping that there's a delay or extended new dose wonkiness and that he gets back to work today. If not, I guess we'll just have to plan on increasing as needed.. again.

The volatility of FD will never cease to amaze me. You'd think after such an extended run in blues/greens that it wouldn't take much for him to get back to work (I've certainly seen and experienced it before). I'm afraid of him starting this up/down process again, which would feel like losing all of his recent progress. Nature of the beast I guess. :blackeye:

I'm going to try to shake off my melancholy and enjoy my Sunday. I think a laundry day and grocery shopping are in my future (how exciting, I know :rolleyes::p). I hope you all have a wonderful day and your kitties surf safely! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Sorry to hear this news. I am new so I have no good advice, but I will say that I've had the same frustration -- It often seems to me that there is no logic to the way the BG numbers jump around! Hope you and Lou are seeing green again very soon. Hang in there.
 
I know the feeling. We were down to 6.5 and now back up to 7.25. Anytime Ollie goes below 7 she back slides.
Isn't that just weird?! Now that you mention it, Lou doesn't do well under 2.75u either. We've been going up and down and the increases always start again when he's at 2.5u. Huh.
