Geez, is Olive's BG shooting up and down by giant leaps and bounds. Last night at+9 she was 176 and by the AMPS was 501. Ugh! And here at +3 she's taking giant jumps down the insulin hole. I wish she'd find slow and steady and I WISH she'd stop jumping into the black at the beginning and ending of her cycles.
She's got an insulin re-evaluation in 4 days. When I increased it last time she went into the lagoon but still seemed like too much of an increase. So I'm thinking of setting the caliper for half that increase amount and see how she does at that time.
 
Could kick myself. I just made a mistake and fed Olive the FHC mix @+6 when she should have had the LHC mix. Ugh! So now her nice yellow is going to begin the climb 3 hours early. :mad:

It's okay! Every single person here has mistakes and stories to tell! Olive will recover (and may surprise you!). I know all this is a lot - hang in there :bighug: Hope you are on the other side of that food poisoning too :bighug:

Is there a legend with what FHC and LHC mean as far as carb counts?

She'll come back down - food mix ups happen. Not to worry :)

Thank you! That does make me feel better. I just did a check +8 and she's 182 which is definitely lower than I thought it would be after my mistake.

I don't have the carb count listed, just the ratio which you'll find in the Remarks section on the 26th. If I enjoyed math, which I don't, then I could figure the carb content out. If you enjoy math and want to play with all the numbers, here you go: ;) I start the day with 6 Raw nuggets and half a can of DM, for which she almost eats the half can in a 24 hour period. The nuggets are 0.4% carbs for 3-4 nuggets. The whole can of DM is 7.5% carbs so that would make half the can at 3.75% carbs. I do a 50/50 mix of Raw and DM for the first half of the cycle. She eats about 8 tsp during the first half of the cycle. Then there's the LHC ratio of 75% raw to 25% DM. During the last half of the cycle she eats 8 tsp. So I'm guessing roughly a total of .08% carbs in raw for the day and 3.75% in DM for the day. I'm terrible with numbers.
Hope you are on the other side of that food poisoning too
I'm doing so much better, thanks! Eating is still a challenge but the pain has gone way way down.
