Breakfast is getting the best of me. We’ve been pumping for nearly 3 rounds weeks now and had the Dex for nearly 2 and, though I keep getting back up, I still just take it right to the face and go back down. Or, I should say, Ainsley does. It feels like it’s me, but it’s her body that takes the real blows.

Every day without fail she spikes up to nearly 400 or above after breakfast. I’ve lowered her insulin-to-carb ratio (I:C). I’ve bolused earlier, I’ve bolused later. I’ve done basal testing. I’ve tried multiple combo bolus techniques. Once, ONE TIME, she spiked only up to 235, which is a heck of a lot better but nowhere near target.

Right now I am enjoying a Dex graph flatlined at a number so off the charts that all the Dex reports is HIGH HIGH HIGH. Thank you, Dex. This is what we D-parents @ the Twitter community like to call a #momfail.
