Amps 84 Libre

A bit of an active night around 3 am (almost +10)
Libre alarm went off she hit 59:arghh:
(She’s really higher on a handheld meter but the Libre gives me a heads up she’s dropping)

Out of bed to feed snack so she would hopefully coast until Amps.
Fed 9.25% this morning, slightly higher carb than normal due to lower bg.

Let’s see what Ivy’s big plan is for today :bookworm:
Have a safe day all :cat:
 
Good morning, Staci!
I see that Ivy decided to get going last night!
Good job managing the drop but boy, you need extra :coffee::coffee::coffee:
Well, actually, we all need extra ZZZZZ.
I was daydreaming the other day, wouldn't that be nice if I could sleep as much as I wanted until I couldn't possibly sleep anymore :p
Then I laughed hysterically for 5 seconds, and .... well, that was that! Out of my system :joyful:
Hope Ivy surfs nicely and safely today and you have a wonderful day, Staci! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Kit, I love your idea of endless sleeping. Oh my:smuggrin:
Ivy seems to like these 3 am dips.
:blackeye:
I’m wondering if I should set up a feeder at that hour on a regular basis. But then she doesn’t need it every night/morning. ugh.
I wish we knew in advance their plans so we could plan for them :banghead:
I hope you have a peaceful day. You need it after yesterday’s lagoon swimming with Mikan :D:bighug::D

I feel exactly the same. Not being able to plan ahead is the hardest thing in this. :banghead:
Auto-feeder may be an idea to test out? Maybe to feed her earlier with lower carb to just test out.
It's really hard. We want to keep BGs lower but not too low. We want to prevent hypo, but not to trigger the bouncy highs. o_O
I hope you will find a good option, Staci! :bighug:

Interesting idea. Maybe I will try a tsp of 6% at 2:30 am (+9.25) to see if that can quash this dip.
Thanks, Kit. Great idea :kiss:
 
That's what i doi with Bella: feed her small meals at +2 (it's now by the way, and she is not happy I'm writing instead of feeding her majesty), +3, and +4 so she satys flatter.
 
No, usually not, at least when I test her. I could not keep waking up at that time. Is there a way to silence it, or change it to lower numbers since it does not mean she is in danger for her?
 
Hi Staci,

wow, what a night. With Ivy it never gets boring! I hope she gives you a calmer night with good but steady numbers! :cool::D:cool:

I send you a hug and a nose kiss for sweet Ivy! :bighug::kiss::bighug:

It’s very difficult to have to get up at 3 am to be sure. It seems like that’s when she seems to do this dive more often than I would like.

No, you can’t silence the karma as they are. Safety feature. I have the lowest range set as high as is safe to warn me.
But usually it does indicate she’s diving and I do need to give her some food. ;)

Hi Heike, thanks for the nose kisses for Ivy. She told me to send you kisses back :kiss:

You know Ivy, always a drama girl.
I’m going to try feeding her a 6% snack at +9.25 overnight to see if that helps with her 3 am dip (maybe a Lantus double dip?)

Let’s give it a shot to see if she gets her little tush out of her bed overnight and eats the snack.
I will report back :)

Wishing you both a peaceful night with hugs :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Staci.
I see Ivy was looking to party last night! :blackeye:
Ivy's plan today was to rise. Do you think that was from the slightly higher carbs or just a bounce from the 59?
I hope tonight she slide nicely into the blue greens with no funny drops!
Wishing you both a wonderful evening and safe surfing. Ivy!

Hi Madeline, I think she bounced from the low BGs.
Even if I feed her higher carbs it takes a while to bring her up.

Maybe she had a Lantus double dip last night at 3 am. She does have that happen sometimes. Enough that I just give some food but it’s tough at that hour!

Thanks for that good wishes. I hope you have a safe night, too :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Every day at 5:45 am when my alarm goes off lately, I have to give myself a talking to, because part of my brain is like, but what if we just went back to sleep? :rolleyes: No! BAD BRAIN!

@Staci & Ivy - I hope you're able to sleep in your bed tonight, and get a restful night of sleep!

I have the exact same discussion in my head at 5:29 am every day. Just 5 more minutes I tell myself. But then I say Bad Mommy, get the he$$ up, you know you’ll be fast asleep by 5:31 :arghh:
