Sorry for the lack of data. He is wearing a libre and I have a concussion so I am not supposed to be online.

Djoko is low and because of his diet, I cannot give him medium carb. His diet is made of brown rice (does not digest as fast as white rice) and horse and veggies, etc. What could I give him to stop the slide? Maple syrup seems drastic but?

Thanks!
I will arrange data when my head is clear.

 

Data is from AT2 on his ss for today.

 

I see @Bron and Sheba (GA) might be online? Tagging to see if they can help. I'm not able to stay unfortunately this evening

 

A concussion? I’m so sorry. All I can suggest is to use the maple syrup if he gets too low. It’s a human meter so it’s not needed unless he drops under 50. How long can you stay up to monitor?

 

Do you happen to have any other tools in your lower number toolbox? I see MC is not an option.

You could try feeding a good snack if Djoko is willing to eat and test in an hour? Doesn't seem to be in syrup territory yet?

 

Oh hi @tiffmaxee! Cross posted!

Sorry I can't stay, I work at 6am tomorrow

 

I will stay up for sure althought I don't feel good. He was dropped one so 18.1 already so now he is in the 4. It is a pet meter for the 101.

 

He has dropped* 18 already.

 

So 68 is the number we dint want him under. Since you aren’t well maybe it’s best to give him the syrup even though it’s too early. The problem is it doesn’t last so long. How has he reacted to it in the past? Is your bf there to help you?

 

Hi. Sorry about the early work day.

 

Yes bf is here. I've just fed him and will test soon. I need to give him his supplement via seringue. Do you think that could elevate his BG because he will be stressed out?

 

Unfortunately, I doubt it will effect his bg. So your bf can feed him a little each check. Then I would feed as normal unless he goes under 68. Then use the syrup. Maybe he won’t get that low. Or add just a drop or two to the syringe to keep him from sliding.

 

He shows low on the implant so we will test him with strips and AT2 and will give you the results. He has eaten a lot already. I hope he will keep eating. This is the second time in a week.

 

Feed small amounts rather than a lot at once. Worst case if he won’t eat yiu can rub syrup on his guns if he’s really low.

 

83 AT2, 58 human meter

 

he is still good. I hope he has hit his nadir. My bf will kill me and the cat !

 

He loves you both! How far in the cycle?

 

+4

 

It’s a bit early for nadir. I hope he surfs there or a little higher.

 

I knew he was going to get low because he started to go down before the onset. Why does this happen sometimes? Each time he gets into hypo or close to it.

 

Close is fine. Remember with TR people shoot 50 (68) and above. It’s just hard on us, especially at night. Max often dropped at night. He’s actually in pancreas healing numbers right now.

 

But why sometimes there seems to be a double onset? I mean he has strated to go down at +1 and then at +1h45 (his onset time normally when he has an active cycle), it seems that there is double action. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe in couple days. He is still between 83-93. I will sleep 30 minutes and check on him and do it until he gets up. If he gets under 3.7 (68), will give him syrop. How much? Is it instantaneously?
Thanks a lot!!!

 

If you give syrup it should bring him up in 20 minutes. You would need to keep checking to make sure he doesn’t drop down again. He needs to be 2 hours without food in 70’s or above before you can stop testing. After one hour without food and at a safe level test one hour later.

 

Since you aren’t feeling well it’s okay to start giving syrup now. With Max just a few drops worked. Don’t give more than a teaspoon. A combo of food and syrup is best.
