Yes, home today.
Seems like a big difference- from 205 to 302 in 15 minutes??
I think this is a big bounce now from yesterday. I hope it won't last too long.
The time frame was 205 (at 7:45) 302 (at 8:00) shot him at 8:15 then 445 (at 9.25)
I've been trying to figure out what happened on my end. When I looked at your spreadsheet this morning and said you've had lower pre-shots, the spreadsheet was not updated. I was on my phone and I saw yesterday's pre-shot number of 280. I never saw the 205. Anyway, I doubt if there will be any excitement today.
Spreadsheet looks okay to me now. How about you?
Yes, I forgot to include the link. I've added that now and updated the heading on the thread. I think it is all good now. I'm headed to the shower.
Hi Suzanne, I think we had a day as you probably expected. He was high for the first half of the day and then started to move down steadily to his PMPS 270. He has eaten a small amount of food since his evening shot. I plan to test at +2 (10:15).
I have therapy tomorrow afternoon, leaving the house at 2:00. I was thinking that he will be okay on the 2u dose unless his PS number is wonky. Do you think he may not be?
As long as nothing looks amiss tomorrow morning and he’s eating well, then I agree that he should be okay.
Stall for 20 okay?
Yes no food. He didn't even get a treat after poking him. Thanks for checking in early.
Yes. It would be better to be gone in the morning, but it is what it is, right! You're doing a great job. He is definitely on his way up. Another option would be to take a temporary reduction to 1.75 units. But shooting late can act as a dose reduction anyway. It's only about 45 minutes late (9:00 that is). Will this make you have to stay up too late tonight?
I like the reduced dose.
I feel best reducing the dose, based on the numbers and my being away this afternoon. His fasting BG this morning was 152. Delayed 20 minutes and retested. He had come up to 238. Decided to feed and shoot 1.75 units, a more comfortable zone, all things considered. Posted on spreadsheet.Since you are all set with Newman for a while, I will go take my shower
He was at the top of the cat tree when I went out and he was still there when I returned. Lucky for me, he jumped down and hopped up on the desk so I poked him and got that 181 @ +8. Both cats thought they were starving so I went ahead and fed them.
I am glad he’s doing well! Yes, the WalMart ReliOn meter strips are about $17.88 for 100. You can do it either way. Some people will take both meters and will compare them at first (using one drop of blood.). The ReliOn will read a little lower than the AT, so that may scare you a little at first.
I would give 2 today
Funny. I had just removed the cover from the syringe to shoot when your reply popped up. I paused and read " I would give 2 today". I had loaded the syringe with 2 so I shot it. It may have been a tad skinny. Thank you, great timing!
I checked in on his spreadsheet last night before bed and saw the 308. Figured you had everything under control!
Yes, I expect tomorrow to be the last therapy in this session and I will be good for 3-6 months.
Yes, I was comfortable last night based on the 308.
Gradually, we need to get him out of pinks and yellows as much as possible. Preferably blues and greens. Those highs are rough on the body over time. But I was encouraged to se that blue yesterday when you got home because out temporary reduction worked and yet he didn’t go red or even worse! I was a little afraid of that, but I wasn’t willing to risk a serious drop while you were gone. We will see what happens today.
