12/15 Tiki AMPS 386, +7 103, PMPS 358, +5 208, Dose Advice

Haven't posted a condo since Fri as I am busy packing and preparing for a move to a new apartment in 2 weeks (uuuughhh). I've held on to Tiki's current dose for probably way too long but it kept bringing him into the greens so increasing didn't seem to be the thing to do. But he hasn't dropped below 50 enough (three times) to decrease things. Now I sense he might be on a plateau as I've only seen the blues over the last couple of days but almost sense tomorrow he might be back in the greens again. He always seems to react well to this dose and we always seem to end up right back here when I move things around. Any thoughts on should I make any adjustments?

Just cried my eyes out reading about Ripley. So many lost this year. I just hate it. Sending healing vines of love and comfort to all who need them.

Tiki is bouncing like crazy! It does seem like he finds blue or green for his nadir much of the time. Aside from the 41, I could make a case for fattening the dose.

Here's what I think I might do (and what I actually do with Gabby). I do what I can to prevent Gabby getting a dose reduction. If you look at this evening, for example, Gabby's numbers dropped at +2 and I gave her a bit of HC to slow things down and to try to prevent her numbers from dropping into dose reduction range. I've been doing this for some time and it's helped to flatten out Gabby's cycle. What you're aiming for is being able to give enough insulin that you have blue pre-shots and green nadirs.

Another option might be to feed a slightly higher carb food.
