We used to have a problem with Jada spiking super high by lunch time- lately, we've consistently had bad lows by 11 am every day- in the 40's and 50's. I thought I would try to stay ahead of it today, so I checked her at 9:30 am and and she was 215. I was happy with the number and that we would be able to make it to lunch time with no problem. We drove to Omaha to meet a college friend for coffee this morning and at 11 am- on the dot- Jada goes from being extremely happy to almost combative and complaining of a tummy ache. She had nose dived to 45! It's the third time this week that we've had this happen. I'm not sure what to do- her insulin to carb ratio is 1:10 and it's going to be hard to be in touch with a dr. this week. Jeff and I talked this morning about going back up to 1:15 and just making sure she had at least 15-20 minutes before she eats. If anyone has suggestions- let me know!
Well- it's time to wrap some gifts and do some laundry. I'll try to check in tomorrow night from the great state of Montana!

man, that sucks about Jada.. I wonder what is up with that.. Maybe if you start at 1:15 you can change it as needed. That's so hard to have to juggle that in transit though.. Happy partying and drive safely!
Ahhhh that sucks! :( I'd try going up to 1:12 and see what she does. If she's still running low then try 1:15. You don't want to jump up too high and then have her running high :( Hope things get better soon!
Sorry you're having such issues with Jada's numbers. I hope you'll have a great birthday party despite that! And safe travels for you all!
Travel safe - praying for you, the family & for Jada during the trip to AK! The Lord is 100% in control and may He watch over you all!
I hope you get her sugars under control...I hate the super lows. Travel safe!
