Good morning!

Think we have a bounce here, we'll see if he comes down at all in a couple hours!

 

Had a softer than normal number 2, probably from the switch to all YA. I will eliminate the SEB, he probably doesn't need it with all the psyllium. I had to clean his bum a little, he's almost where he can reach it again, hence why I don't want him to gain any weight.

On a positive note, he was running around a little last night again, chasing the other 2, so he's feeling pretty good! I hope the increased activity helps.

 

Ooh, he's lower at +2 today than yesterday. Fingers crossed he dips to blue!

 

Go Sly!

How much of the DM was he getting in terms of overall %?

 

Only about 1/8th-ish!! I'm actually shocked how carb sensitive he is. But I'm so glad I said, let's do this!!

He's 147 at +3, I gave him his fish broth, and offered part of a Churu (he wasn't impressed ECID), do I need to offer food, or wait to see what +4 reads? I don't want to overfeed, or not leave him enough food for early afternoon. He usually comes looking around +5/6..

 

He's not dropped a lot between +2 and +3 so you can wait to feed.

 

Ok! Thanks Bhooma!!

 

He's doing so well, I told him and his pancreas to keep up the good work!!

 

He's been at this number for hours

I hope he comes up before PMPS.

 

We're only 20 minutes to PMPS and he's still floating in the 130s..... ??

Do you think the carb reduction is acting like a dose increase or is this carry over?

@Wendy&Neko @Suzanne & Darcy

 

He's hangry and I need to stay on schedule for tomorrow, we have been putting off my folks for weeks....

Should I just give a reduced dose or continue to stall?

 

He's still flat 138 @+14

I know stalling itself is like a reduction, so I have no idea if I should give just a token dose right now.

 

Did you shoot?

 

No, I checked him 30 minutes ago, and he's 138

 

I see 5U in the PM cell? How long since his shot was due?

 

A couple of nights ago, you had a 103. And you shot 3.5. He stayed low for the first three hours and then went up.

 

Can you monitor tonight?

 

No if you look at the notes, I stalled until +15 when he hit 174.

He's so much lower tonight at the same time. That DM food really had an affect on his BG.

 

If you shoot now it will put of your schedule for tomorrow. Has he had any history of ketones? What time do you need to leave tomorrow? When in the cycle and for how long?

 

That is true. It seems cutting out the HC food is helping. Since you just dod this (was it today?). Perhaps you should shoot a reduced dose and monitor to see how he does.

 

Yes,

 

No history of ketones, I'm leaving here around noon and will be back at 5. If I shoot now, shot time would be about 9 am, so I could monitor the first 3 hours before I leave.

 

One option is to skip and shoot at your usual time tomorrow but he might shoot sky high - or may not with the DM out. Or shoot a token dose and shoot tomorrow AM 11.5 hours from tonight.

 

I was thinking of giving a token dose, I'm just not sure how much. I had to feed him, I held back almost 3 hours.

 

It might be good to see how things go without the DM.

 

Feed and shoot. You could do 2.5U or 3U.

 

I thought about this earlier. He might be a little high for a day or so, but maybe 1 missing dose can be like a reset.

I'd be interested to see his morning number.

 

If he has no ketones, you can also skip. And shoot at your usual time in the morning.

 

@Bandit's Mom

Do you think I should skip or shoot half the dose?

I guess I'm just wondering if dropping the DM is making a bigger impact on the second day, and the dose is a smidge high..?

Maybe skipping will give a picture, unless he bounces..

 

I would have said shoot a token dose if you didn't have to leave tomorrow. The food change does seem to have made a huge impact so you want to monitor closely. By skipping you can shoot at your usual time tomorrow. He might be quite high but he might not either. That itself will be illuminating.

 

I agree, I would have done the same. His morning number will be interesting to see.

Or, I'll test him in 2 hours and kick myself!!

 

A small housekeeping note in the SS. For the PM shot of 2/18 you would put "103 @+12, 103 @+13, 124 @+14, 174 @+15" to indicate that you shot at +15. The +1, +2, +3 etc cells for that cycle would reflect the tests after you shot.

Tonight you you put NS (for no shot) in the U cell and enter the test numbers in their usual cells - like if you had shot. So the +14 will be at +2 etc.

 

Ok thanks, I will update the spreadsheet for that day, and note the no shot for tonight!!

 

Still holding at 138...

 

Wow! What has he been eating?

 

He ate all his dry food for the day by +5 (pm cycle), both his wet feedings (FF pate), fish broth, and every snack I offered; today was freeze dried chicken and salmon.

After I tested him, he retired upstairs for some zzz's. If this is related to the food change, then he's incredibly carb sensitive.

 

I cut the HC back on Friday. I did it knowing that if I waited, there would be another dose increase tonight (Sunday), and figured, he like the YA, his poops are pretty great now, lets get the HC out of the picture. I honestly wasn't expecting this though, it was such a small amount of the DM..
Anyway, I'll have to see how the next few days cycle through..?
