? What to do with "hi" meter reading (600+)?

[Misterbeesmom]

is there anything I can immediately to do help my cat? I screwed up his last dose, giving him a fur shot. BG was 398 when I screwed that up (when I mess up, its always an important one). So now +3 my cat actually meowed a few times which is unusual. I tested him and got the dreaded "hi" reading on the meter, which is 600+.

I took a chance and dosed him immediately. I know that's a no-no generally but we're on vetsulin, I botched the last shot, and he burns through this stuff by +6.

is there anything else I can do for him right now? this so completely sucks.

Not sure what to tell you, but I'd say to just keep a close eye on him. Watch for hypo symptoms and be prepared with some corn syrup and hi carb food, just in case. I always feel bad when I do that too, but we do the best can.

Sorry just saw your message. Got him down to high 200's over the next few hours, so all went well no hypo. Thanks!
