2/7 Cobb AMPS 269 +3 205 +5 207 +9.5 285 PMPS 300

Yesterday

Back in sunny yellow this morning. I hope this is the start of a falling cycle instead of yesterday's yucky bounce!

All 5 P's in place. Cobb acted like he was starving last night. I attribute that to his falling numbers and the fact that he didn't eat much yesterday because he felt crappy. :sad:

Happy Friday to all! Extra sweet kitties, let's think low numbers!!!

Good Morning

I see Cobb has found the down elevator today! Yay!

I saw your question in Oles condo about R -

How do you decide when to do more than a ToR? What kind of data do you want to see to make that move?

The data that guides you comes from your R trials. You start with 0.10u and see what it does. If it does not move things then you try 0.25u.
The ideal is to find a dose that provides a 50-100 point drop, so as not to set off a vicious cycle of bouncing.

Once sensitivity to R is determined, you combine that knowledge with what you know about your kittys Lantus patterns and develop a strategy .
If you decide to use R regularly you develop an R dosing scale to guide you.
You can see examples of some of BKs R scales on the 2nd tab of his ss. They will give you an idea of what BK needed at those times.
Also note that they changed frequently. Your dealing with a moving target, so you must always move with it.

Not a bad cycle, I suppose. Looking for lower numbers though Cobb!

just saying hi! sandy's a wealth of information on R use. I would just add that we would help you figure out the R scale and seeing what the R does. you don't have to do that alone.

After looking at Cobb's SS, I concur that today's numbers aren't that bad!! You're doing such a good job handling this. FD is hard enough without having a high dose and high BG kitty. Hope the good numbers continue!!

Keep on coming down Cobb. It's time to ditch this bounce please. But his mostly flat day has got to feel better than the ones where he's playing with the elevator.
