FINALLY!!! After 5 1/2 weeks on the pump, last night was our first night of solid, acceptable BG numbers!
Ever since we went on the pump, Ellee's numbers have been one extreme or the other, either too high or too low, but mostly on the high side. Afraid of her dropping too low and not catching it, I've been adjusting her insulin rate ever so slightly at night. I was to achieving ideal numbers the other week, but all of a sudden she dropped too low and I had to reset her numbers to help bring her up. Then she skyrocketed, and I've been trying to bring her back down ever since.
Last night, I checked her at 10pm before I went to bed and she was 148. At 3am, she was 128. At breakfast this morning I was nervous to see what her number was going to be, but to my surprise - 128!!! This means that she only dropped 20 points! Not only that, but for 5 hours her levels were consistent! I may be counting my chickens before they hatch, or jinxing myself, and her numbers may be off the chart tonight, but I will take one night of awesome numbers! Because this means that we are headed in the right direction!
