5/15 Cleo AMPS 164 + 4.75 LO, +5.5 59 PMPS 153 +1.5 179

Well today was a first for me and I haven't felt panic like that in a LONG TIME. It was the first time my meter read "LO". Retested and "LO" again. Reached for the AT2 and it showed 41 :eek:.
I jumped up and grabbed my hypo kit box . Gave HC and Syrup and set the timer for 20 minutes. THANK YOU FDMB STICKIES
That was the longest 20 minutes of my life.​

Thank God she's coming up now and did not exhibit any symptoms of a hypo other than EXTREME HUNGER.

Her spreadsheet showed something was going to happen with the blue preshot after coasting in the yellows all night (indicative of a bounce clearing cycle), so I resolved to test hourly and at +2 and +3 fed a tsp of 11% respectively to slow the dive. I know my cat and her patterns, and sometimes lack of pattern and even with my gut feeling and clear indication that this was a bounce breaking cycle, and trying to feed the curve with MC, her BG got away from me REAL fast.

I RE-learned valuable lessons today.
  • Know thy cat
  • look for patterns
  • be prepared - hypo tool box kit
  • DO NOT become complacent
I hope this doesn't read too much like a PSA.
