[Butters & Lyla]

Yesterday I could tell something was off with Butters and that continued into the overnight. Perhaps a little panc flare? I tried giving pain meds closer together but didn't seem to make her any happier.

She made eye contact with the little red dot yesterday for a few seconds. I'm giving her 5 Ps for that!

I don't want to let her numbers get away from me again if I can help it. Numbers are creeping higher.

Have a great day, all!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Morning Lyla I hope Butters starts to feel better♥
Have a good day and kisses for Butters ​

 

[tiffmaxee]

Does she seem to be in pain? I hope she slides down. Appy good?

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Does she seem to be in pain? I hope she slides down. Appy good?

Appy is great.
She doesn't seem to be in pain. Her stomach is soft but she is irritable.

 

[tiffmaxee]

It doesn’t sound like a flare. Anti-jinx.

 

[JaxBenji]

Hope Butters is okay Maybe she's not sure about the lagoon? It's like eating lots of cookies and then not...makes me irritable too when someone takes cookies away

Have a wonderful day, Lyla

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Could be a mini-bounce but if she stays in blue, I’d think about increasing the dose.

Merry Christmas Eve and I hope she feels better.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Thanks. Merry Christmas Eve.

I'm thinking I can safely increase in the morning if she is blue today and tonight? Should I know by then if it is a mini-bounce vs whether the dose is no longer enough?

 

[Colio]

Hope Butters feels better. Good eye contact with the red dot

Merry Christmas Eve

 

[JOJI and Kit]

she is irritable

hope she starts feeling more festive.
that red dot gaze is a reasonable start. now add some green, butters

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I hope Butters is feeling better today. Sending prayers.

 

[Pamela & Amethyst]

Lots of love and healing

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Thanks

Maybe the blues were a mini bounce. 61 @PMPS. Sigh.
I suppose I should reconsider my decision to increase her insulin tomorrow morning.

 

[Sue and Luci]

Those are some very nice numbers Miss Butters! You be good for mama and don't be cranky!

Luci gets cranky like that sometimes...she growls and swats at me...I dunno...she doesn't like me I guess?

Merry Christmas Eve Lyla! I do hope Butters is feeling better and stays in those lovely levelish numbers...unlike Miss Luci - fancy pants - who seems to be zooming up down and all around lately....I never know anymore what's coming from that BG reading...

 

[tiffmaxee]

Definitely reconsider the increase. Yes I’d hold.

Someone is reading when you are typing again. Lovely nadir/PMPS tonight.

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Well Miss Butters I see you gave mama a beautiful Christmas present early.
This makes me happy ♥

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Luci gets cranky like that sometimes...she growls and swats at me...I dunno...she doesn't like me I guess?

Luci is giving you love swats. Merry Christmas Eve.
Hopefully after Luci's I-131 treatment she will level out.

 

[thebigfuzz]

Be good Butters

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Definitely reconsider the increase. Yes I’d hold.

lol I was so sure she would need an increase. Now I wonder if she is going to keep me up tonight.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

lol I was so sure she would need an increase. Now I wonder if she is going to keep me up tonight.

be careful what you wish for!
it's great to see butters in such good numbers again!

 

[Butters & Lyla]

My late nadir girl.

I should think more strategically about what I type. 58 @+3.5. Okay Butters, I get it. No increase tomorrow.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

be careful what you wish for!
it's great to see butters in such good numbers again!

Thanks Bhooma!
I see Bandit is having quite the exciting cycle right now too.

 

[tiffmaxee]

lol I was so sure she would need an increase. Now I wonder if she is going to keep me up tonight.

That looks promising! Christmas present from Butters.

 

[JaxBenji]

Nice work Butters - tell mama no to that increase but be polite about it Hope you have a good night Lyla (and can catch some sleep!).

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Nice work Butters - tell mama no to that increase but be polite about it Hope you have a good night Lyla (and can catch some sleep!).

Sleep Doesn't look that way. Would you say that pulling a 43 when I'm trying to set alarms and go to bed is polite? No? Neither would I.
FTC Pants....where are you?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Congrats on the reduction. Cute Butters. Real cute. Pj party! I’m sending cyber ice cream and brownies.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Congrats on the reduction. Cute Butters. Real cute. Pj party! I’m sending cyber ice cream and brownies.

I was just writing how cute she is being right now. lol.
Yum to ice cream and brownies Thank you.

Do I take a shaved reduction like I used to? Her last reduction was 11/23. I did a full reduction and she became stuck in high numbers for a month. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Or do you think taking a full reduction should be okay now because her numbers are better overall? I'm leaning toward shaved based on her never holding reductions well.

Lol. My FTC pants were dusty! Congrats on the reduction...hope butters plays nice now that she has really proven her point maybe she knows how to make coffee? Could be a peace offering in the morning?

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Whoa there, little missy! We know you've rediscovered the lagoon as a fun place, Butters, but those sharks are not your friends!

 

[thebigfuzz]

lol I was so sure she would need an increase. Now I wonder if she is going to keep me up tonight.

Well...it is Christmas. Maybe Butters wanted to stay up to give Santa some milk and cookies?

 

[thebigfuzz]

FWIW, I might take the full reduction. This feels like a different time to me. Others may have a different opinion?

 

[tiffmaxee]

I think since it’s very likely you broke through insulin resistance I would try a ,25 reduction. If she starts to go back up you can take her back up and go for a shave the next time. That’s what I would understand do .

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Quite a night/morning! Butters, Henry, Bandit and I wonder if @Our Dolly Girl will also join!
Elise, I would like some actual brownies!

 

[Butters & Lyla]

I will try the full reduction this time! Just adjusted the calipers so I don't forget. Thanks for the advice, @tiffmaxee @thebigfuzz

Quite a night/morning! Butters, Henry, Bandit and I wonder if @Our Dolly Girl will also join!

It's dropsie Thursday/Friday!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Did you miss this rollercoaster, Lyla?

 

[Butters & Lyla]

This really is turning into a PJ party. My next test ended up being @+6 and it was 47. Fed 1 tsp of 16% and some LC.

Did you miss this rollercoaster, Lyla?

lol. Not the part where I stay up all night.
Butters said she had fun saying hi to Bandit when she visited the sharks.

Well...it is Christmas. Maybe Butters wanted to stay up to give Santa some milk and cookies?

Why couldn't butters manage this task by herself. lol.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

lol. Not the part where I stay up all night.
Butters said she had fun saying hi to Bandit when she visited the sharks.

I think we are going to have to be super-specific the next time we wish. "I hope Bandit/Butters comes down, but not below 50 and not at night".

 

[Butters & Lyla]

I think we are going to have to be super-specific the next time we wish. "I hope Bandit/Butters comes down, but not below 50 and not at night".

...and not on days when we have to go out to appointments or to work.
"And if they could just stay between 100-50 all of the time, but never go lower, that would be also great. "

 

[thebigfuzz]

Why couldn't butters manage this task by herself. lol.

Because she doesn’t have thumbs LOL

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Because she doesn’t have thumbs LOL

Doh!!! Of course. lol.

 

[Our Dolly Girl (GA)]

Quite a night/morning! Butters, Henry, Bandit and I wonder if @Our Dolly Girl will also join!
Elise, I would like some actual brownies!

If I get brownies as well.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Now I’m craving brownies for real.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

I'm a sharing person...here you go

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Now I’m craving brownies for real.

I'm sooo close to rummaging through my freezer. There has to be a brownie in there somewhere.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Now I’m craving brownies for real.

I always do!

 

[Butters & Lyla]

59 @+6.5. Okay Butters. Can we get through another 30 minutes without dropping <50 this time please?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

That was not a good wish, Lyla. You should have said get through the night.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

Oh noooooo. I'm sooooo rusty at this. She isn't going to let me get any sleep now is she.

 

[Our Dolly Girl (GA)]

I'm a sharing person...here you go

Now that looks good enough to eat but how could you eat something that's so cute?
