Day One: After the Low
Scott Benner
Arden’s BG was 167 when we left to get her hair cut. She had a great time even though see was so tired.
A Recap of her low BG... Everyday I take some time to reflect back on the shots I’ve given Arden and the results they produced. In hindsight I should have given Arden a quarter of a unit less at 1:30 pm. I didn’t give the proper weight to two factors. 1. She has been a bit under the weather over the past couple of days and 2. She sometimes trends lower in the early afternoon. Then again had I gotten to the food 10 minutes sooner none of this happens and her BG would have been near perfect when I checked her at the 2 hour mark. So it goes...
The rest of the afternoon... Here are the rest of Arden’s BG for the day: 7:18 pm she was 348 after an ice cream cone. I gave her a half of a unit then. At 9:15 pm (2 hour mark) she was 220 and at 10:43 pm she was 199. I’m going to let her rise up a bit over the next hour or so and then administer a half of a unit of Levemir around midnight. She should wake up under 200, should. We’ll see in the morning. Good night.
