BG-110 after coming down from a 200 when he went off temp basal after game. Around 10:30 pm Roxy is
Going nuts with alerting! Found and jumped up for bringsel and pawed for low...she counties to jump and try to get our attention with bringsel in mouth. She tries to get us to play tug with it. We tell her yes thank you, but she goes away only for a minute. But since had 50-60 carbs of dinner sitting in front of him, we said ok he is eating so it's ok he will come up. Then he listened to her and only bolused half of what his pump said.
After eating Roxy keeps alerting...continues with bringsel in my face and Janson's. Janson checked he was 90! Even after eating carbs and listening to Roxy and lowering bolus, he has learned to trust her over everything. He decided to eat 30 additional carbs with no bolus...then 30 minutes later 91! It's midnight so I will watch his numbers throug night cause he has playoff games in morning.
Earlier today, before his double header, Roxy did the same thing! He had been higher in the morning, and had come down to like 170. He was eating before his game and she went crazy it's the bringsel ... Non stop jumping with it and wanting t play with it. She paws to a low, and we are like, wait he isn't low and not much onboard but we will listen. It was another strong alert . We knew we had to listen , that he would go low. He ate but then only bolused for a portion, then bringsel crazy alert continued. He ate half a bananna 15 carbs with no insulin, then he went on temp basal. Instead if going high, he stayed about the same, I think his numbers were like. Next thing I know game is over, they won, and he comes running off the field and I said check BG! He had dropped to 45!!!! In freaking out! Juice, juice, then muffin. Roxy was right again... The weird thing is she has exhibited a trend alert, shown in both incidences about a 1-2 hours ahead of time. Janson and I also sat down and calculated it out. We think we figured that when she gives these strong alerts, she is alerting to a strong curve, a drop or rise in trend over a 1-2 hour time frame. It's up to us if we listen or not. Since these kinds of alerts are way ahead of time , we calculated by trial and error, that we think he needs to eat 30 carbs without insulin over time (15 carbs pe hour)
