So I called and the ER vet clinic can't answer the question. They said they are not familiar with long term use. Ugh! On top of that, I set up my daughters nanny cam and was able to watch pepper during the day. Well, low and behold the food I leave out for her at night.....she's eating her night meal less than 2 hours before I get up and feed her again. I also found out that DH is feeding her less than 2 hours before I get home. Can you say sabotage? I don't think it's on purpose, but I'm wondering why I sometimes get blues ps and sometimes reds/blacks. I feel like I wasted 6 months trying to get her regulated.

Where do I go from here? Do I start over? DH won't test during the day when I'm at work.

Don't worry - you'll get it sorted. If she's had food a little too close to her PSs it's possible those were slightly food-inflated. That could mean the dose has been a little high and she might have dropped a bit low mid cycle. I doubt whether any of this has been extreme. A curve will give you good info.

I gave her the full dose tonight with a lower than usual (for her) BG. Should I be worried? She's sleeping alot since I got home?

No, I wouldn't worry but get a +2 to see where she is. If she's significantly lower then (70+ points) you can give her a small snack of low carb food and test again an hour later.
