[Stephanie & Max]

The last few days have been a rollercoaster with my kiddo Max. He's on his 2nd reduction and I'm hopeful this will help keep him in the zone. I'd prefer less rollercoaster more lazy river.

Thanks to everyone for the support and help over the last few days. I really appreciate it.

Hi Stephanie. It looks like he had a little bounce today and then back down to greens today... but nicer greens than he had before. I hope that this will be a better dose for him and that the "double reduction" will hold! Hugs.

When is his PMPS due? How are you feeling today?

 

[Stephanie & Max]

When is his PMPS due? How are you feeling today?

I was just getting ready to post. His PMPS was 63! I shot 1.5 units. I have my testing & hypo supplies ready.

I'm feeling a little better, but it's a spectrum. I actually slept 4 hours straight last night, so that's a plus.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

He's starting lower and looks like he's clearing a bounce. You might want to feed some higher carbs.

Please remind me of your MC and HC %?

I have 14-16-20-22

Feed some 14 or 16. It looks like he wants to go down the dosing ladder quickly.

Just fed a little 20%. Sorry should have waited but he was still eating his LC and I wanted to get some HC in while he was still hungry.

No. It's fine. He looks like he could use the higher carbs. But don't fill him.

 

[Stephanie & Max]

@Bandit's Mom

He's at 28. I rubbed karo in gums. He is eating 22%

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I am here. I think you might want to skip the shot tomorrow morning and drain the depot.

Test in 15 minutes after Karo.

He's up to 87 @ +1.5 which is about 15 minutes after karo and when he started eating the 22%.

Phew!

Next time you get a test in the 20s or 30s, get another test to make sure it's not a bad strip?

 

[Stephanie & Max]

I will. It is a different batch of strips than the last few days fyi. I think my brain just went into panic mode. He's at 104 @ +1.75 and ate another teaspoon of 22%. Should I test in feed in 15 or 30?

No need for any more HC . Test at +3.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

@tiffmaxee reduce again? Skip to drain depot? He dropped to the 20s tonight and a couple of nights back. Not sure if it was bad strips.

 

[Stephanie & Max]

Sounds good. Thanks Bhooma.

 

[tiffmaxee]

When I see a 20, I say it needs to be taken seriously if a second test doesn’t show otherwise. I would reduce again. There have been a lot of bg tests under 50. I would see how tonight goes and the amps and decide whether to skip. If he keeps heading up and stays up I think you could shoot 1.25 if you can monitor. If he doesn’t stay high I would skip in the morning.

 

[Stephanie & Max]

He's at 124 @ +3. I'll test again at +4.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

He's at 124 @ +3. I'll test again at +4.

Yes, the HC should have worn off by them.

 

[Stephanie & Max]

Yes, the HC should have worn off by them.

He's at 106 @ +4. Should I get a +5 before thinking about sleep?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

No. He is good. Before you shoot tomorrow morning, please post the AMPS here. What time do you shoot and which time zone are you in?

 

[Stephanie & Max]

No. He is good. Before you shoot tomorrow morning, please post the AMPS here. What time do you shoot and which time zone are you in?

Central time zone, test at 11am and shot about ten minutes later. I'll post AMPS before shooting anything.

Much thanks.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Wow. Stephanie. I’m just catching up this morning on what happened with Max last night. 20 is scary.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I’m wondering if that 20 was a bad strip. Without a second test we need to assume it wasn’t but it was +1 and he came up quickly.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes. I thought the same thing when I saw the leap at +1.5.

Considering Stephanie's health challenges, wondering if she should reduce anyway.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes. I still think she needs to reduce for her sake and because what if it was right?
