3 Days, 3 Different Results. Sure, we can parse out why, mostly chalked up due to exercise differences, but man this is a fun disease. šŸ™‚ Through somewhat sleepy eyes after getting up to help treat the low alarmā€¦ Resized, hopefully that fixes it.

@Chris, even by clicking on it I canā€™t get the pic to open. If you send it to me I"ll try to resize etc. ---

Made it smaller. Was that the intent? ---

@Chris, do you find that exercise makes a difference to hormone peaks? Also ā€“ I thought your boy wonā€™t wear a Dexcom? ---

> [@Chris](#): > > mostly chalked up due to exercise differences On some nights I have to cut my basal injection by over a half. Exercise is a huge factor. ---

> [@Michel](#): > > do you find that exercise makes a difference to hormone peaks? Good question, I would say sort of. I think an increase in exercise makes him more insulin sensitive, and if he is going to have a low, it makes it more likely. That said, when the hormones are raging, I canā€™t detect that exercise makes the highs any lower. So I guess my short answer is that no, I donā€™t think exercise affects the hormone highs. ā˜¹ ---

I wish we had the balls to cut basal, but the hormone highs make it so hard. If we cut on a hormone night, then he flys over 300. I am really looking forward to some steady state numbers. ---

> [@Chris](#): > > I wish we had the balls to cut basal Thatā€™s a funny comment because sometimes it is purely a gut call and you wonder if you are doing the right thing. Iā€™ve actually said to myself - ā€œthis is stupidā€¦ā€ when taking a crazy-different basal injection, and then it turns out right, and you wonder how it worked. I know the hormones make it more unpredictable. Thatā€™s a completely different bunch of worry than the exercise! ---

> [@Michel](#): > > I thought your boy wonā€™t wear a Dexcom? Not my boy, he has been Dexcomming almost everyday since last October. He was a little resistant at first, but since we started, he has now come to trust himself less, and has anxiety on those nights when he isnā€™t wearing it. Which I am not super happy about, so now we make him take at least one or two nights off every 3 weeks, and show him that he is more resilient than he thinks. ---

> [@Chris](#): > > now we make him take at least one or two nights off every 3 weeks, and show him that he is more resilient than he thinks. Thatā€™s a great idea. We should do that too. It would show _me_ that he is more resilient that I think šŸ™‚ _He_ is quite confidentā€¦ I am the scaredy one. I donā€™t sleep well when he doesnā€™t wear his Dexcom. ---

Well, this looks awful. Iā€™m sorry, @Chris. Echoing @docslotnickā€™s thoughts from elsewhere. You parents have my deepest respect and sympathy. I joke about keeping our children alive every day. You are actually doing it. Bravo, @ClaudnDaye, @Michel. @TiaG, @Bradford. Apologies to those Iā€™ve missed. ---
