YESTERDAY'S CONDO:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=119883&p=1252377#p1252377

YESTERDAY'S NUMBERS:
AMPS 349
+3.5=370
6=383
PMPS 425
+2.5=389
+4=231

It looks like I might have made an error in judgement last night. I went to bed after the +4. He cleared the bounce and must have gotten at least into blue and likely green numbers afterward. It's strange that he didn't eat the food that I put out at 4:30. Once he succeeded in getting me out of bed this morning and I put a little freeze dried on it he ate it, his baby food BP med chaser, and some of his first mini meal. Because he was lower this morning, I gave him the chunky ff which is 5% carbs.

Have a great weekend.

Bounce definitely broken. I hope he doesn't decide to take a dive as I have an appointment at 12 and will be gone for 2 hours or so. If he looks dicey I will have to leave the shop with color on my hair to run home and test and feed. That will be quite a site. I'll leave again later for my mom's but that can wait until I am sure he has bottomed out. She isn't mentally herself this week and I hope the anesthesia hasn't done something or another UTI isn't brewing.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS 113+1=158+3.25=104

Hooray!!!
Well done, Max!
Now surf, Max, until your momma returns please.

Sending prayers for your mother, Elise.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS 113+1=158+3.25=104+4.25=91

Thanks, Mariko. Prayers appreciated.

Now the big question is whether it is safe to leave from +5-*7 or I need to come home in between???
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS 113+1=158+3.25=104+4.25=91+5=66

I fed a little and left out lc. Thinking I wouldn't go back and firth but I am too uncomfortable and my hairdresser is running late so I will go home and come back. Vanity loses out.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS 113+1=158+3.25=104+4.25=91+5=66

I don't envy your decision, Elise. It's a tough call. I think I would leave out some MC. It looks to me like Max likes to nadir around +6, which means he may be going lower than that 66.

Max, come up please, and don't do anything silly while Mama is gone. Beans need a little time for themselves.

Sending safe surfing vines for Max. I hope you get your hair done (completely)!
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS 113+1=158+3.25=104+4.25=91+5=66+6=83

I left fed him a little high carb 22+ soulistic triple harmony and a little lc food. My hairdresser was running late. Why didn't I call? So I'm home and just tested and he is 83 an hour later. He has some lc out but didn't touch it after the test. I'll test in 15 and then go back to the shop. Vanity lost out but on the trip him didn't see anyone. Will see what happens on the way back. So glad the shop is just a couple blocks away. I usually walk but drove today. Thanks Tricia for stopping by. This was a good test run for my nephew's wedding in August. If he isn't bouncing that day I will need to give a tad less insulin before and the day of I guess. There's plenty of time to figure that out.

+6.5=93
+7=91
PMPS 179

So, do I make a mistake by giving Max HC at +5? I was worried he would drop too low while I was out. As you can see I did come home to check on him and he was 83 so I kind of think I did the right thing. Just wondering for the next time.

Update: +1=245 Heading up.The old streak will not be broken.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134

I guess I better check at +6 tonight. I still wonder if I should have fed the HC when he hit 66 at +4.5 when I had to leave or if MC would have been a better choice.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134

if you were going to be home, low carb probably would've been fine. but when you're going to be gone, i'd probably leave plenty of LC or perhaps the MC. you might not've needed HC but it doesn't really hurt anything.

did you really run home with color on your hair? you have my total admiration for that! well done - put the sweet boy ahead of your vanity! i don't even like my family to see me in the midst of that fun process. :lol:
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134

Hi Elise, you had a real tough choice to make this afternoon didn't you! Like I was saying before, I never feel comfortable to leave the house before 1:00PM! And as to the food choices, as you can see, I panicked and over did the FF gravy and karo :oops: That is not a bad idea to have some Medium carb food around though. Looks like Max is clearing his bounce as well.
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134+6=84

I was lucky Julie. I didn't run into anyone when I came home to check on Max. I guess I got rewarded for being cautious. I made my next appointment an hour later!! :lol:
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134+6=84

And he's coming back down! Early food spike and late nadir. Wow. I don't blame you for the HC. I probably would have done MC, but like Julie said, it doesn't look like your choice was wrong, either. Keeping him safe is the most important thing: "Better a day too high than an hour too low", or something like that! :smile:
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO HYPO?

MAX IS LO!! He just woke me meowing. I gave him some Soulistic Pouch which I think is 22% and will check in 20,
 
Re: Max 6/7 AMPS PMPS 179+1=245+3=194+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO

I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE GOING TO BED WITH AN 84 AT +6. WRONG. Max just had his first LO reading. I gave him 22% and will recheck in 20. He is purring and acting fine. My heart is racing.

I just retested and it read 145. Could the first one have been a meter error? Or could the food spike that fast? I didn't feed again and will check in 30 minutes. Confused.
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 AND 18

Have you retested him. Give him karo syrup, maybe 1/4 teaspoon.

Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 AND 18

Twenty minutes after he was fed the 22% carbs he went up to 145 and 10 minutes later 182. I think it must have been a strip error, right? It's impossible to go up and stay up and just a tablespoon of HC food right? No reduction needed I would think. He is acting fine. I will retest in 20 minutes. Now I learned another new thing that if I wasn't awakened I think I would have done. If you get an odd reading, test again right away. I wish I had done that before feeding him. I know it didn't hurt him but it would have saved me from a huge scare.
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 AND 18

Thanks,Tricia for stopping by. After this Lo reading I just got, although I believe it was an error, I think given the same situation I would feed HC again. That Lo was soooo scary.
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 / 182/

Dyana, I appreciate your response. I'm sorry now I didn't retest right away because I don't know if it was an error. He's staying up and it's been 1 1/2 hours without food. I take it you think I should take a reduction and then go back up quickly if it doesn't hold? When I changed syringes last week we were cautious with the dose and he had his highest ever readings. He has been doing so well with this dose. I don't know what to do.

Sorry for the two threads but I wasn't getting any action so posted to both.
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 / 182/

I'd say you can either do the reduction and test your regular amount to see if it holds, or don't do the reduction and test a lot to make sure he doesn't go that low again. I myself, would err on the side of safety, but I work all day and am not home. If you test a lot and can be there to catch a low if it happens, then you can try to see if he goes low (hopefully not LO) again.

What a wake up :shock: you had.
 
Re: Max 6/7 PMPS 179+4=134+6=84+9.5=LO but RETEST 145 / 182/

Someone else on the health forum got a lo but tested right away and got 83. Max was 187 at +11.5. All these readings suggest to me that the lo was an error since it's 2 hours since he ate.
