24-hour Snapshot

I haven't posted a 24-hour snapshot in a while.  Samuel has been having night time growth spurts and leg cramping so we've had to be extra diligent to keep BG in check - sometimes multiple corrections, sooner than we sometimes would otherwise with a bit more insulin than usual.


Within this 24 hours, we.....

☑️ had no lows. Those 2 dips on the graph weren't that low... both had finger pricks of 71 mg/dL.

☑️ he had 1g of glucose (at the 3pm 71mg/dL), which in hindsight was a mistake because he was in the 90's by dinner.

☑️ 2 insulin corrections...

     * 10:15pm = BG was 109, which might sound risky to correct, but based on his growth spurt spikes for the past 2 weeks, I was comfortable.  Correction was 0.6u of Novolog, and kept him flat until...

     * 6:15am = BG was 125. This is fairly close to breakfast and I didn't want to stack badly, so gave him a 0.4u which brought him down to 100 by breakfast at 7:30am.

Blood sugar averaged to 91mg/dL with a Standard Deviation of 20. Otherwise, he just had his normal low carb snacks and meals and T1 was a pretty minimal part of our day.
