Nerves of steel, Sylvia! Give the full dose and get tests at +1 and +2. Have HC food ready just in case. You might need to steer a bit with LC but the tests will tell you. Oh, and breathe!

Good luck!

Millie is making great progress since her DKA hospitalization. This scary stuff is part of that journey. There's a special award that you get when you shoot on your first green.

I got nervous since I didn't hear from anyone. Retested and she was 77. I gave one unit and fed her. I have a doctor's appointment but I'm going to cancel. Sorry, didn't know what to do.

Yes, she is. It's really scary with the low numbers so I did what we did last week when I was away (really didn't know what to do). So she only got 1 u. Should I give her the rest now?

That's just fine, Sylvia. The lowered dose will be OK. There's still the depot from the 1.75 u to consider so grab a +1 and +2.

No. Leave the dose as is.

Stalling and retesting without feeding is a good thing to do when you're unsure. You'll get more used to these numbers over time. What a testing pro you've become!

OK. I'll stay home and watch her.

Thank you!

Glad I saw your advice to leave the dose. I was getting ready to give her .5U.

She always does something at the craziest times. I was supposed to leave in two hours. Millie loves drama!

Thanks again.
