Did she get a shot the night of April 2nd? The units PM cell is blank so I can't tell and it makes a difference to my answer. It's better to put Skip or NS for no shot in the cell so we know it was a miss and not just missing entering the data.

Yes she did, I will fix that.
 
Sounds good. If you can monitor tonight, which means a bit more testing, I would increase tonight. If you can't monitor, then I would increase tomorrow morning. This isn't SLGS which would have you hold the dose, but with recent DKA and not going under 90 at 1.25 units, I think an increase is a good idea. I am just hesitating on the timing cause sometimes the cycle after a skip can be more active and you don't want to add an increase on top of that. Good luck with the increase whenever you decide to do it.

Good to see those negative ketone tests. :)

Yes, I wasn't sure if the skip might then affect her this evening. We'll test in the morning and go from there. Plus I am around tomorrow and can watch her, might try to get help so I can do an afternoon bg test.
