PMPS 522,+1 341,+2 264,+2.5 177,+3 147, + 146

That's right!
I am in NY(work) and Fred and husband are in GA.

 

Husband wants to know if he can give the whole can of gravy?
He gave half and is fine.
Fred is not meow but he cleaned his bowl.

 

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Good news, but it's not over yet. Once the karo and HC wears off he could drop again. I'd continue testing...

Just half for now.

 

The risk to giving too much at once is that you don't want to make Fred vomit.

It's better to give a smaller amount at a time, then repeat again later.

 

He already eat half. Can we offer the other half?

 

Will also test again in 15 min.

 

Small amounts at a time, ok?
We don't want him to get sick. We also want him to be hungry the next time he needs to be fed.

 

His normal food is FF Classic.
Right now we are offering FF gravy and Karo.

 

He's slowing down ...that's good news Isabela!!

Just keep monitoring....we don't want to make him sick and if we need him to eat, we want him to be willing to, so don't feed any more for now

 

Since the new test will be in 10 minutes when should we feed him again?
We have half can opened.

 

I'd feed him after the next test.

 

Let's wait and see what the next test says first before feeding again.

 

Ok.

 

Yes. Will test in 10 minutes no feeding and will wait on you guys response.

 

Isabela, you and your husband are doing a wonderful job. Take a minute and just breathe! You've got lots of help here and people are praying for Fred. Hang in there!

 

Fred is so lucky to have you and your husband taking such good care of him! I know both of you must be very, very tired, but hang in there. You're doing such a good job with him.

I'm sorry I have to sign off now, but I am leaving you in very capable hands...

 

Thank you so much!

 

You're very welcome!

 

Thank you so much!

 

New test.

+ 4 140 .
He had gravy FF and some karo.
Acting normal.

 

Fred 11/08 AMBG 38, + 1 86, + 2 77, + 3 84, + 4 111, + 7 253, + 8 290, +9 481, + 10 344, + 11 379, PMPS 522 - babysitter gave wrong amount of insulin. Instead of 1/u she gave 1.75/u, + 1 341, +2 264, + 2 1/2 177 ( after giving carbs)., + 3 145, + 4 140

 

that's great news. I'd go another 30 minutes and retest - let's see where he is then.

 

He's doing great Isabela!!

He's really slowed down now.....I think you'd be OK to wait and retest in 30

Don't feed anymore for now....let's see where he's at at 4.5

 

Can you sleep for a few minutes in between, Isabela? That is if you can reliably wake up.

 

I am not at home.
I am in the middle of the communication.
My husband is the one at home with Fred.

 

Husband is now asking:
New test in 15 min. Then what else?
I think he is trying to ask for rest.
How should he procedure now?
Set up an alarm?
How often?

 

I know - i mean in your hotel room in NY. I'm aware you have to go back to work in 5 hours.

 

It's too soon to say for sure

At this point, we're going one test result at a time

 

I would test 30 minutes after the last test to see if he is holding his blood sugar up without giving him more carbs. Blood sugar can wobble around and go back down - that's why i'm suggesting not feeding now, but rechecking in 30 minutes.

It's too soon to just figure Fred is ok. I wouldn't stop testing yet.

 

Yes. I still well for now since I am so scared of Fred going low again.
I know tomorrow I will be miserable but oh well!!!!
Tomorrow will fly only two legs.
NY/Chicago/Atlanta.

Husband is the one who can't handle long shifts.

 

I will stay with you, Isabela. You are a trooper.

Let's see where he is in a half hour.

 

Yes ma'am.

 

Thank tou my dear!

 

New test.

142

 

Does your husband have another test yet?

 

*whew* that's great news.

I think you could go another hour for the next test. How does that sound?

 

Fred 11/08 AMBG 38, + 1 86, + 2 77, + 3 84, + 4 111, + 7 253, + 8 290, +9 481, + 10 344, + 11 379, PMPS 522 - babysitter gave wrong amount of insulin. Instead of 1/u she gave 1.75/u, + 1 341, +2 264, + 2 1/2 177 ( after giving carbs)., + 3 145, + 4 140, + 5 142.

It went up 2.

 

Yes 142.

 

That's great!! MUCH better!!

I think I'd have your husband give him a couple teaspoons of the high carb (just the gravy part) and then test in an hour ....since we're aborting the cycle, it's fine to keep feeding the HC...we just don't want him to refuse to eat it if we need him to or eat so much he makes himself sick

 

He is just waiting for directions.

 

I would simply retest in an hour.

 

Oh my goodness, I just caught up on what's happening with Fred. Isabela, you and your hubby are doing wonderfully! Sending you both and Fred good thoughts

 

Should I tell him to set up his alarm to test in 1 hour and go take a nap?

 

Letting him go ahead and have a little more of the gravy will help keep him up...and since he's slowed down from dropping so fast, it'll give your husband a break for an hour

 

Ty Tara!

 

let me explain - the reason I'm not suggesting feeding, is that if you want to be able to go to sleep, then we need to know that he's holding his blood sugar flat now without the assistance of high carbs. They can wobble around and the carbs can wear off. That's why I'm not suggesting carbs at this point. If he drops later, then he might need them again, but at this point, i wouldn't give any.

yes, i think he can set his alarm and sleep for an hour. as long as he will be able to wake up.

 

So glad to see things are looking better!

 

Ty! ty!

 

Fred is asking my husband for food.

 

Isabela...what Julie says is true...it's kind of a decision you need to make with your husband....since we're aborting the cycle, it doesn't matter how high he might go from the HC food, but we also at some point are going to want to stop feeding to see if he can hold his blood glucose up on his own

We want to get him past nadir....maybe try a little low carb? See if it holds him....but understand that if you feed him, it's going to mean having to test longer to make sure he can stay up without all the food

 

If he wants to give him some low carb, i would go to that first, because of the reasons i explained above.

 

See you in an hour.

 

Feeding Fred FF Classic 3 0z.
Testing in 1 hour ( + 6)

 

I wouldn't feed him the whole can...that's a lot of food

Maybe a teaspoon or two....we want to see him holding his blood glucose up without any food or your husband may not get any sleep at all tonight

 

Fred had 1/2 can of FF Classic 3 oz.
Husband and I are going to take a 1 hr nap. Will be back in 1 hour for new test.

 

New test: 134.

 

Give him food and/or Karo?
Wait another test?

 

well, that's pretty flat. I know it's incredibly late for you. I think you could give him more low carb and retest in 2 hours.

You've stopped his dramatic drop. It's possible he could still dribble down some more, so that's why I'm suggesting retesting in 2 hrs.

I also have to work tomorrow, so won't be here in 2 hours. But our Australian friends will likely be here.

How does that sound?

 

Fred 11/08 AMBG 38, + 1 86, + 2 77, + 3 84, + 4 111, + 7 253, + 8 290, +9 481, + 10 344, + 11 379, PMPS 522 - babysitter gave wrong amount of insulin. Instead of 1/u she gave 1.75/u, + 1 341, +2 264, + 2 1/2 177 ( after giving carbs)., + 3 145, + 4 140, + 5 142, + 6 134.

 

Yes Ma'am!!! Ty!

 

I'll be here in two hours. I'll check in. Get some sleep, Isabela, and DH!

 

Ty Tricia!

 

Not that I can help with suggestions but I will be around as well. Hubby is leaving for work tonight and has to leave within 4 hrs. I am staying up with him until he leaves.

 

Great job tonight Isabela and DH!!!

I'm out for tonight too, but I'm happy to see Tricia will watch out for you!!

 

Thank you Tricia!

You're just going to keep it up - the goal is to keep him in a safe range. Lantus lasts a long time, which is why I keep having you check. I'm glad that he's flattened out over 100 - it just gives a little more of a comfort zone.

Good luck getting through the day tomorrow. You're going to be so glad to get home. Your husband has done a great job tonight - and you have too!

 

How long has it been now since he's had any high carb food or karo? The effects of the high carbs typically wear off after two hours and I think it's been that long. Enjoy that longer nap. I'm fading too. You guys did an amazing job tonight.

 

he last had hc + karo 2 hours ago at +4, if I have it down right.

 

New test.
+ 8 211.

 

Ty Suzi!!!

 

Ty Chris!!!

 

Julie, ty! Ty!ty!

 

Ty so much.
Last food was giving at +6 . He had 1 can of FF Classic.

 

So 2 hours between the last 2 tests.
With 1 can of low carb FF Classic 3oz.

I am fling to leave in a few minutes.
Husband will re check him at 8 am eastern time.
As talked before here NO insulin this morning regardless of his numbers.

As soon as as I land I will come back here.

Again " thank you"!!!!
