    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:joyful:!

    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!

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

    Hope Butters is okay :bighug: 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 :p

    Have a wonderful day, Lyla :bighug:

    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.

    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?

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

    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...

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

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

    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 .

    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.

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

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

    No. Nope. Uh-Uh. She wants to smack that point over my head a few times just in case. And as Tanya pointed out, she doesn't have no opposable thumbs. So there won't be coffee in the morning, either.:arghh: Woe is me.

    Definitely on the reduction. A shave on a smaller dose might be like a 0.25 units on 4.25 units percentage wise.
