Let it Ride

It was a red Wednesday which means that Mimi was watching the girls while Domestic Divo and I were at work.

I fed the girls breakfast around 8am - whole wheat cinnamon toast & strawberries
(sprinkled with ground flax seed, of course!) - before heading out.

Around 10:30am, Ella checked her sugars and she was 170-something and not hungry for a snack.

  

"Let it Ride, Mimi, Let it Ride"

And so, even though it was more than 2 hours after her last dose and she was slightly of range, Ella made the decision to not give herself a correction, but to let it ride. And good thing, too, because at 12:30pm she was low...and happily downed a QuickStick.

 Lessons Learned:

1. I can trust Ella more than I think I can when it comes to her diabetic care

2. Let it Ride is a 1989 film starring Richard Dreyfuss and, from what I can tell, would make a great rental 

3. I either need to do some adjustments to her morning basal rate OR force her to eat a snack around 10am regardless of whether she's hungry or not!
