Wondering how long people have stalled waiting for a PS number to go up and then finally pass on giving the shot?
I stalled 2 hrs last night and am stalling again tonight.
Thinking about skipping the shot and getting back on track in the am.

It can depend on how much flexibility you have in the days ahead to gradually move the dose time back to its original schedule. We recommend no more than 15 minutes per shot or 30 minutes once a day. If at the 2 hour mark the BG is still too low to dose with comfort skip that shot.

I stalled two hours last night. If I have to stall again, he could be up to four hours off cycle. That creates some funky test times.

If one of the pre shot BG numbers is too low too often that can mean that the dose is too high.

I've feed, stalled an hour and he's dropped lower....

Stalling is used to see if the BG is on its way up on its own or not. You don't want to give any food just before or during a stall because food can raise BG. Sometimes if you stall too long without food the BG will fall because of lack of food.
 
If the BG is even lower after eating and you are four hours off schedule I'd skip. Then you can shoot whatever time you want provided the amps is not too low. I don't see a ss. Out of curiosity what were the results?
 
129
Fed crunchies and a/d

164
Fed freeze dried turkey

60 minutes later
157

Waited no food
30 minutes later
220

Waited 30 minutes
Gave reduced dose of 1.o u lantus

His evening dose of dex will bump him up so I decided weird shot times are better for him than no shot.

With meter variance which can be 20% the 157 and 164 are about the same.

To play the devil's advocate... I have the Nova Max Plus as a backup, and when I test with that and the Relion Confirm, I find them to be within 2 "points" of each other. For that reason, I believe my meters read far more accurately than 20% off. If I were to get a 164 after a 157, I would take it to mean that my cat's BG is rising. How you should interpret it just depends on whether or not you have the same kind of data.
 
Try taking blood from the same meter a few minutes later and see if it's the same every time. Sometimes it was for me and sometimes not. You don't necessarily get the variance every time.
 
Well he's rolling the wrong way

Please don't let him climb all the way until morning. This is not ok.

He could be bouncing from the lower numbers (100s) yesterday. It'll pass. You'll drive yourself nuts trying to figure out every cycle - or every number - as a distinct entity. You need arrays of patterns over time to assess progress. I strongly recommend again that you overcome your resistance to getting a spreadsheet set up. It's the best way we can help you. You've had many offers to set it up for you. It exists online and is effortless to maintain. There's absolutely no conflict with the other data records your vets want.
