Okay, just a bit of a foot stomp.
Numbers on the E front generally OKAY after some extraordinary see-sawing last few weeks: high for five days, then low for two days, then high again for three, etc. Nightmare. All of this with very little change to actual insulin levels. Just seeming to happen in some kind of totally out of control and body-unpredictable way.
Sigh.
So here's something typical: night before last he was 7.2mmols at 11pm. At 3am he was 11.7 (huh?!). I left it, because it was such a weird number that I wanted to see if it was a blip etc. At 7am he was back down to 8.8.
Right. So last night he's again about 7mmols at 11pm. At 2am (little earlier) he's 11.7mmols. We give tiny correction, under half of what pump suggests, because of what happened the night before...So he wakes on 13.7mmols this morning!!!!
Argh. He *is* at the end of a cold. But that riding high should have happened earlier if it was going to. AND he had pizza last night. But we dual waved it and have never noticed pizza having a problem 9 hours in...
ARGH!
I know there's no solution. We just have to watch for larger patterns before changing anything. But this complete surprise ping-pong is not at all out of the ordinary the last few weeks. It's unbelievable. We're so CROSS!
Bye guys.
