I left some crescent rolls (bread) on the counter accidentally as I went to go eat in the other room and Howie ate a ton of it. For anyone who has experienced this, please help. What should I expect and do? I can’t believe this happened. His +11 was 70 and his PMPS was 64. He ate the bread between +11.5 and PMPS when I ate my dinner. I gave him his full dose of 21 units even though he was pretty low tonight in anticipation of the after effects of the bread. He’s also on a daily dose of 1/8 tsp Miralax.

Neko was fond of banana bread, blueberry muffins, baguettes, and biga (bread starter). For some reason, all the things staring with B. :rolleyes: Her numbers went up for about 24 hours, the worst with the biga (had yeast in it). She also experienced so diarrhea which is how I found out about the wheat allergy. The worst thing is if he filled himself up and you need to get him to eat to raise his numbers. So to the extent you can, try to make sure he's not full on dinner.

I just tested him at +1.5 and he’s at 215. Can I give him some R now? I’ve never given it when it wasn’t at insulin time or mid-day.
@Lisa & Oberon in case Wendy is offline, have you given Oberon R between insulin time and mid-day? He tested at 215 at +1.5.
 
The basic rule on timing of R, you don't want the action of the two insulins to overlap and cause steep drops. R onsets around +2, and he still won't have onset his L yet. Plus the two nadirs won't overlap.
