    AMPS +2/2.5 95

    Letting her eat some, but...she has gained almost 1.5 pounds in 5 weeks. So now trying to have her stay 11# or under.
    Yes? Or not worry about weight too?

    what if you were to feed her daily quota of food as smaller meals hourly rather than feed with the shot and then additionally when she goes low?

    can you get another test at +4 please?

    Bhooma,
    Thanks, will start dividing up her food and spreading it out thru the day, correct?
    Will also get a +4/4.5 to try to catch her low.

    Yes! Green! Try to feed most of the food by +6 when insulin is strongest unless you need to guide the curve. :D

    Ok, got it +6 then less to no food into post PMPS
    "Guide the curve": Trying here. Just not able to turn these words into actionable items. Translation?

    By guide the curve I mean if she starts to drop too fast or too low we feed her to keep her safe. Keep asking questions. I’ll answer if I can.

    Ok, get ready for this... So I mentioned we are moving, sold our house.. So a friend had been helping us pack. She is 80 and just survived cancer this pay year.

    Well it was a good morning for me so she came over to pack. Get ready for this. She just fell out of the second floor attic into our garage.

    So...I did not get a test on Maki...

    Mary Ellen is ok, but we are staying with her for observation. She is strong and better shape than me. But a fall from the second story had me...a nervous wreck

    Update. The patient is resting, bruised ribs. Thankfully she fell onto our car which is an suv so she didn't break anything. 80 years old.. Amazing.. will be going home to check on Maki in another 30 minutes as along as patient (Mary Ellen) is ok.

    Maki is good.

    Do I still shoot .25…? I believe yes, but wanted to check first. After this day I need to not have something else go wrong.

    Mary Ellen's 58 year old son came home. So he will watch her tonight.

    Hmm
    PMPS +2 = 141...

    Only 2 point drop? Did I miss when I shot insulin?

    Doubt it. Likely a quiet night. She will drop later I bet.
