Goodbye iPro

We took the iPro out of Andrew Tuesday morning. We are all glad to see it go! Andrew has been good and has not had a single piece of candy with it in even though it was Halloween weekend. We went to the carnival this year, so he didn't get that much candy anyway. They did go to the cake walk, so he still had sweets. We wanted to get good information from the iPro experiment, so we still had a pizza party & stuff we normally do.

Most of the time he had pretty good numbers while the iPro was in. Sunday afternoon & evening his numbers were great, but he ran non-stop. I just knew he was going to go low if I didn't turn down the basal. The previous Sunday he had gone low after AWANA even without all the other exercise. I turned it down 10% at 10:30 pm & rechecked him at 2 am. BG 330. I guess that was a bad call. Monday night, Andrew had his first basketball practice. It was only an hour long, and they really didn't run that much. Given what happened Sunday night, I didn't turn down the basal. At 2 am, he was low. After juice & 15 minutes, he was still low. Finally, 15 minutes later, his BG was up! Andrew woke up that morning with high BG & ketones. I had the nurse recheck him at 2 hours after breakfast to make sure the site was okay. However, his BG hit 41 first. After juice, it was 38.

Andrew slept between checks & snacks in the middle of the night, but I was tired & cranky Tuesday! However, I am thankful that we got some of those crazy nights recorded. Maybe the data will help us make some good changes. Maybe we can even sleep through the night soon!
