jade amps 136 +30 min 156 first stall!

Hi! Jades amps is 136. We've had a couple wonky days and this is my first time stalling. She's soooooo ready for breakfast! I will retest in 20 minutes. What exactly is my next step? Thank you!!

Have you decided if you are following TR or SLGS? I ask because depending on what you are following on what Jade's dose should be...1.0U or .75u. We need to decide that as giving different doses all the time will create some really wonky numbers.

Wait 20 minutes and test again. If the number is higher than it means the last dose is wearing off and it is probably safe to shoot. If it is the same....keep stalling for another 20 minutes.

Do you have a bunch of testing supplies, HC food available, karo?

 

I haven’t decided the method yet. I only tried .75 once. I’m using 1 unit. I will test again at 11:20. What if the number is lower? I do have all those items, I leave for work at 2:30 and cannot stand the thought of being stressed and scared all evening like I was yesterday.

 

Let us worry about a lower number once we get there.

So 2:30 is what + past AMPS?

 

Just about 4 hours... her amps was at 10:45. I can actually leave for work at 2:45. So exactly 4 hours.

 

154!!!! Feeding and shooting! YAAAA!!!!!

 

I would get a +1 and +2 to see how Jade is reacting. And if you are around a +3 - all good data.

I would feed her normal food - maybe a little less in case you need to bump her up before you go.

 

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

 

I will check once an hour til I leave for work! Thanks again!!

 

I'm so happy to see you're following the advice on this forum. It will get better & easier!

 

I will be watching for your updates!

 

I sure appreciate you!!!!

 

So you stalled for a total of 30 minutes, you can either make that time back up in 15 minute increments - tonight and tomorrow morning to get back to your normal test time or delay tonight by 30 minutes and do tomorrow morning at regular time. This may be a wait and see how she is at PMPS scenario.

Are you able to leave food out when you go?

 

actually, I only stalled for about 20 minutes. I tested her at about 10:50. Her usual shot time is 11:00 and I retested and shot at 11:20.
So, if her numbers are good tonight, and I pray they are, is 11:00 still ok ? I think I read that 15 minutes one way or the other is ok?

 

I shoot anytime within a 15 minute window on any given day. Depends on how fast I can get all the grub and Jones' meds together.

I can't wait to see how she does...I am hoping it is a slow decent into some nice numbers...

 

Her +1 should be higher than 156,correct? I have about 10 minutes to go til I check. I'm on pins and needles!!

 

She should get a food bump at the +1/+2 and then a lower number for +3.

But not too low Jade!

 

Not too low is right!! I swear I'm going to get an ulcer. My heart sinks when I see lower when I know it should be higher. Be right back.......

 

191!!! Hell Yes!!!!!!

 

Ok, this is what we like to see! Here is hoping +2 looks good as well.

 

Sure hope so!! Thank you!

 

Things are looking better! Remember to take a deep breath,be patient & it will all work out. There will be ups & downs but just take it one day at a time

 

Thank you!! Already anxious about +2 and +3 but keepin the faith!!

 

+2 down to 145. DAMN IT! Now what????

 

Don't panic yet..with meter variances that is close to the same number as your +1. Try feeding just a tsp of your regular food...see if we can get her to surf to +3.

 

Doin it.

 

104 ... giving a few treats and leaving food out. What else can I do? Leaving in 20 so any advice is greatly appreciated!!

 

I was so stressed I didn’t press “ post”
Gave her a bit more FF beef pate, a few higher carb treats and left food out. Hope she’s ok.

 

Do you have any higher carb food around? Like 7-9%. Maybe give a tsp or two of that before you step out.

Just saw your post..the extra food is good....she can eat as needed. She is sticking to the blues without a huge 150 point dive today. Hope that leads to less bouncing. That 104 is nice number.

If I am uncomfortable leaving Jones with dropping numbers I usually give a few whiskas treats as well. It will bump up the numbers but hopefully be gone by PMPS time.

 

I had already left when I realized I hadn’t pressed the “post” button. I ordered some mid range carb food yesterday, should be here tomorrow. I gave her 4 Greenies which are a bit higher in carbs, hoping that will suffice. She ate more and her behavior is fine. Purring when I left. So, with all of that and the food I left out, gotta have faith that she’s going to be just fine. At the risk of being late for work, I stopped and looked for mid range carb food. Couldn’t find any and had a stress induced nose bleed again. I’m a wreck.

 

Sure am looking forward to the easier part! Couldn’t have done this without you. To say I’m grateful is an understatement.

 

When you have chance...go grab some chocolate, wine, potato chips...whatever your forbidden pleasure is and keep it handy.

No problem, that is what we do here, pay it forward. I was like you about a year and half ago. So I understand.

 

That’s in MY hypo kit!!!

 

As in HYPO-VENTILATION kit

 

LOL....one for Jade and one for you! Love it!

 

The 145 (+2) was "about the same" as the PS so if Jade pays attention to the "rules", she should be fine and have a nice cycle!

We expect the +1 to be higher due to the recent feeding. Don't compare the +1 to the +2.....the onset of action of Lantus is usually around +2 to +3

You did good today!!

 

Thank you! And it has so very much to do with the advice you’ve given me!!

 

+10 159

 

YAY for Jade!!! So glad to hear it all worked out

 

pmps was 188 and +2 is 118. Seems like a big drop when it should be a rise. Back to feeling pretty disappointed and confused. Will set my alarm for 3:30 and retest.

 

3:30 doesn't mean anything to us......how many hours after the shot will that be? I think you shoot at 11, so that would be +4.5

 

Correct. Sorry. Tired.

 

Make sure you reduce the dose today and keep it there for at least 3 days (unless she drops below 68 again ….if that happens, ask for advice)

Go down to .75 no matter how high the PS is

She earned a reduction by dropping below 68

 

257 @+1.15

 

AMPS...155...gave .75 and hoping for a great day for both of us!!
