CGMS trial - Day 4

Well, today's challenge was getting the sensor restarted. It was the end of 3 days, so time to restart the sensor. When the time came, Emma was so high that we couldn't dial in a #. It took a while before I could get one in, and I put it in knowing that she wasn't stable, just to get it moving. We had lots of highs and TOO HIGHS to be read.

We finally got her back into range and despite some spikes, made it to bedtime ok. We dialed up her basal rate by 30% to address the perpetual highs, figuring we'd turn it off when she got back into the low-end of range.

So, I dozed off around 10:30 and must have turned off the baby monitor. Mike fell asleep on the couch and neither of us heard the alarms going off for a lost sensor. Finally, we heard them but I had to do a complete restart. But, we got a decent starting reading and a 2 hour reading and we were able to finish the night with some decent readings.
