7/29 Napoleon AMPS 64 - giving BCS dose +5 224 PMPS 499

yesterday: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20879

AMPS of 64. I am not going to be home all day and my mom has been struggling sometimes to get his BG in the afternoon. I am giving a BCS dose today of 1u, I really don't feel comfortable doing otherwise. Hope it is the right decision.

Have a great day everyone!

don't worry. it's always best to err on the side of caution when you won't be around to monitor.
hope you have a good day!

Great job, and also leave out lots of food when you will be out!
Safety is always important..... :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone!
I have no idea how low he dropped last night. I went to bed after taking his reading at +4 and it was 149. I fed him his usual and went to sleep. My husband had to leave for work early this morning so I figure what the heck let me take his BG at it was 64 at +10, which makes me think he probably was even lower than that mid cycle. But he was acting fine, no hypo signs. So I gave him a lc FF snack and went back to bed for a little while. He was still 64 at AMPS so like everyone agrees, better safe than sorry. I took his +1 after eating and it was 123 so he did go up, hopefully that 1u will do a little something to bring him back down or to keep him at least level until tonight's shot. I may have messed up the shed, sure hope I didnt. I just didn't want to take any chances. I will see if my mom can get his +5 for me when she feeds him lunch. Hopefully he will just surf in the blues - or better greens!- like he did for me last time I shot my BCS dose with a lower than normal PS (surfed blue). This is definitely the lowest he has been PS thus far.

Ok, not as bad as I thought. I actually thought he would be higher at +5 having just got 1u this morning.

+5 224 - this is actually right where he was at yesterday's reading

I peeked at your SS and saw that Napoleon bounced. :sad: Sorry about that, but you did the right thing.

Thanks Libby ;-)
I did regret after I saw that bounce, but if it went in the other direction it would not have been good. He is on his way back down. 7/30 AMPS 266.
