Request for help understanding a hypoglycemic event

Thank you, Chris.

Following Eric’s instructions on Filling your own pens, I made a cartridge with Apidra and put into the HumaPen Luxura HD, so I can give 1/2 units.

You can see on the following the blue spot where Juno took half a unit before eating a fairly big bowl of pasta. And hour later, he had another bowl without any further bolus. I’m amazed by how flat his line is.

Started 108, down to 86 at the lowest point, and back up to 109 as I type this. A period of around 3.5hrs.

I don’t want to put strain on his pancreas, if anything remains of its function, but the ability to half dose is clearly better for him. At least right now, and that may change, as you say.

Cautious about curious about what will happen tonight.

p.s., the previous high was Juno at school eating 5 skittles and a juice instead of the two I asked him to.
