Well, today's trial is screwed up by Emma being sick. She had a cough and a cold. So, her blood sugars are all over the place. She was ok in the AM but kept going steadily up in the afternoon.
Mike misunderstood the calibration requirements, so he didn't calibrate before lunch. We couldn't calibrate before dinner because 1)she had insulin on board from a correction 90 minutes earlier; and 2) she was over 400. We still couldn't calibrate at the 12 hour calibration mark because she was still over 400. It took until 9:30pm when I could calibrate again. That of course meant that the readings were off during all that time.
Once it finally got calibrated, we dealt with quite a few high alarms overnight due to the cold. We had to give a couple of overnight corrections and she had small ketones - a true sign she is sick. We got one "low" alarm overnight but she tested in range and then actually woke up in range.
