White Dog and the rest of the White Dog Army were grateful that Steve has the ability to work remotely from home on days when there are not meetings or group decisions to be made. During the night momma's glucose fell low and we struggled to bring it back to an "acceptable" for me point. I needed to be careful although I was not experiencing any critical effects.

Of course, the WDA made sure I ate more carbs and we skipped the morning's insulin but it was enough to make everyone a little nervous about leaving me to my own devices...even with the world's best furry health providers.

So Steve worked at home.

It took nearly all day and LOTS of added carbs to drag the numbers back up (it seemed wrong to chow into a bag of potato chips after dried apricots only pushed me up 3 points) and no real reason presented itself as to why it happened. I was advised to monitor hourly and adjust my medication to fit the situation. Not even the experts could explain other than "sometimes your body has an anomaly day. Now that you are reacting normally continue to keep track and maybe have a light snack right before bed."

My demands on Steve were no more just his presence so he worked diligently on his project all day; even the WDA understood he was at work...and they divided time between rest next to him in the office and care giving me.

All have relaxed this evening as the anomaly seems passed. We will continue to monitor especially when I get up at night but I feel we are OK. Not that internal White Dog clocks have not already been set to check on momma just to make sure.
