Fudge PMPS 375 +1 280 +2 318

Hey looks like Fudge and Pimp are on the same schedule!
He's been on Lantus since Oct 3 and we just had 2 days of this sudden scary stuff!
Kind of sucks the wind out of your sails, eh?But I say you did a great job handling the low numbers today!
Don't give up, I'm not! Just wanted you to know that you're not alone!

 

375 to 280 in one hour...

 

Holly, refresh my memory ... when you wrote in SS "he ate a lot" - was that referring to today's cycle, or his dinner? How much did he eat at PMPS time tonight?

 

Let's wait for the +2 before freaking out. But this seems exactly what P did last night. Quickly cleared a bounce after low numbers the prev. day.

 

He had a can of FF 3 oz and YA (1 tsp) at PMPS.

 

No need to stress. Just keep an eye on things; you already know how to steer with food when/ if it's needed.

 

Holly - good job handling things today!

Can I suggest that you edit your subject line, remove the old info and put in current numbers so people can see from the main page if Fudge is doing ok?

About the drop to +1 . . . remember that meters have a 20% variance allowed by law - meaning that 300 +/- 20% = 360 - 240. So anything from 240-360 could actually be the same results from the same drop of blood. What you're interested in is the overall trend, not just individual numbers. He's plenty high enough he's not in any danger.

It's good to use low carb to steer first before resorting to high carb. If LC will do it, that's ideal.

 

The scary part was I was about to leave for the day.

 

Okay...it's a 318 at +2.. What do others suggest for BG check for the remainder of the night ?

 

I'd be going for the +4 to +6 range, based on when he was dropping before.

 

Okay...Will test at 11 pm
...next.

 

I think you meant 11 pm, right?

 

I agree, the +4 would be a good next test. If you are lucky, he may let you go to sleep after that.
