At +3 after PMPS last night, Gideon dropped to 84. I gave him 15% carb, because it was early in the cycle. I now see that was too high carbs. I should have maybe just gave him some 9% Nulo, or not higher than 12%. By +7 he was 411.

I work tonight. This is a vicious cycle for sure, but I am happy we have seen so many BLUES.

 

So at +3 Gideon Blue's BG = 158. He is resting, so I am not going to encourage him to eat, but will retest at +4.
How low should I let him go before I encourage him to eat something? I know it is a dance, and it depends when his nadir is, which seems to change.

 

That's a pretty big drop. You should probably wake him up and see if he will eat a little bit of LC to slow things down.

 

OK. Just gave him saw Weruva PLAY food which is 7.7% carbs. Thank you. I guess I need an actual map on what %age food to give at what time for what BG.
I am trying my best for my sweet Gideon Blue.

 

+4=118. I just fed a TBSP of 12% carb food to slow him down just a bit.

+5=129, so the 12% carb food help prevent a quick decrease.

 

You're doing fine. He's surfing nicely.

 

If you see a big drop (100 points or more), you want to feed to slow the drop. If it's a nice slow slide, you don't have to feed as often, unless he goes low.

 

I am giving him a break and will test at +7.

 

Working tonight. Will test at +1. +2 and +3. Then husband will get up at +5 or +6. Will leave out 9% Nulo.

 

I am very concerned. Gideon is down to 103 and he is only at +2. Insulin hasn't even kicked in yet. Just fed him TBSP of 15% carb. Husband will retest at +3 and get up one time. I am off to work, and wish I was home..
