And to organize the presentation of her glucose tests, (Great! you're home testing!) we have a grid for storing them.
Instructions are here.
Understanding the spreadsheet/grid:
The colored headings at the top are the ranges of glucose values. They are color-coded to clue you in as to meaning.
Each day is 1 row. Each column stores different data for the day.
From left to right, you enter
the Date in the first column
the AMPS (morning pre-shot test) in the 2nd column
the Units given (turquoise column)
Then, there are 11 columns labeled +1 through +11
If you test at +5 (5 hours after the shot), you enter the test number in the +5 column
If you test at +7 (7 hours after the shot), you enter the test number in the +7 column
and so on.
Halfway across the page is the column for PMPS (evening pre-shot)
To the right is another turquoise column for Units given at the evening shot.
There is second set of columns labeled +1 through +11
If you snag a before bed test at +3, you enter the test number in the +3 column.
We separate day and night numbers like that because many cats go lower at night.
It is merely a grid for storing the info; no math required.

Hi Kirsten and sasha
You may also like to post in the prozinc forum. It is easier if you have a spreadsheet going so people can review your numbers more easily but if not then list them out. If you click on the link you will see some stickies at the top. You might like to look at the prozinc protocol for so,e ideas about dosage
